UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 7 Development How Do I? Safari Browser

Hi,

I have been having a hard time getting my ubbthreads to work well with Apple's Safari browser. Users can login, but when they go to the main index they appear to be getting logged out.

Threads is configured to use Cookies. Is this a Safari bug or something in ubbthreads? We are now running 6.2.1.

I've been able to use Safari no problem.

The biggest issue is that you set it up to accept cookies... and not to cache pages. That'll fix any issues (but those rules apply to any browser/any platform).

Also make sure your clock is set correctly, and that you are using the same domain name througout your site.

In other words don't use www.yoursite.com interchangibly with yoursite.com (no www). This confuses things because it's possible to be logged in at www.yoursite.com, then click a link without the www and you are no longer logged in.

Hope that helps.

This is a bug in Safari that they should fix soon. In the meantime, your users can do this:

Go to Safari's preferences and go to the Security pane. Click "Show Cookies" and remove all cookies from the domain of the site. Exit Safari, and open it again. Log into the site. Quit Safari again.

Open the Cookies.plist ( /Users/yourusername/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/Cookies.plist ) file in your Home directory with a text editor.

Find the cookie for the domain of your site named "user".

Replace (your <string> could be different) :

<key>Path</key>
<string>/threads/login.php</string>

With:

<key>Path</key>
<string>/</string>


Open Safari, and it should work now.

Thanks extreme

I tried the above trick and it appears that Safari just created "new" entires in addition to the edited ones. In any case, if this is an Apple bug then I will just tell my users to wait for a fix.

One other note, Safari seems to work for me at threadsdev, but not on our site:

Dantz.com

Thanks everyone

Maybe because index.php is at "/" here? I'm not sure why that would be happening..

Do you have your cookie path set to site wide at your site? That's what it is here.

The people on this site totally rock.

I had the cookies item left as blank. I added the / and now it is working!

Advice for those who have trouble with Safari, use the /

Thanks! Everyone here tries their best to help when they can.

Have you set your config's cookiepath to / or not?

when I was working through this issue I noticed that by default ubbthreads doesn't supply a path for the login cookies and when it does that Safari will default to the page that issued those cookies. That means that those cookies won't work throughout the rest of the sight.

The fix was the add "/" as the cookie path in the config.inc.php
