Mysidia Adoptables v1.3.0[Security Release]

[SilverDragonTears]

@HoF - Sorry I removed it

 

[Hall of Famer]

Yes my old adopt site is made with mys version 1.2
The newest verwion before the version that is yesterday released.

I see, would you mind either posting a new thread regarding the deletion of your old database? The problem is not really relevant to topic of this thread, but I know how important and urgent situation you are facing. I need you to provide more info in order to assist you on this issue. I do not suppose the installation of Mys v1.3.0 caused it, must be something else...

@Silverdragontears:
Oh really, but why? Uncomfortable with the usage of objects and single arrows in the new script? o_o

@HoF - Nooooo! I removed my site spam, lol

Oh sorry, I thought you removed the beta site. Nvm I must have not been sleeping well lately. XD

@Corsair:
Umm interesting. Now try to register on my dev demo site and see if you have the same problem. Its strange how you can log in like after a certain time. Id say your cookies and browser cache settings may be the cause of it:
http://www.mysidiaadoptables.com/mys130b/index.php

It seems to be doing the same thing on your demo site.

Hm, still does not seem to be working. I get this exact error:
Failed to create forum account

The Forum is on the same server, and everything has been entered correctly. I'm not sure what could be wrong...

EDIT:
Oh, and now I am having the problem where I can not login onto the Mysidia-made part of the site. It says "welcome back..." etc, but then logs me out right afterwards...I know someone else was having this problem, have you found a way to fix it yet..?

 

[Hall of Famer]

Umm this is strange, I can log in right after I registered. Perhaps it has something to do with the way cookies are set, I will make sure to look into it later. Thanks for pointing it out for me.

@Iris:
Can you post your config_forum.php here so I can see what went wrong? Just make sure to get rid of the database password before posting, since you dont want people to see it.

 

[Corsair]

I'm confused all I did was fresh install and edit the forum config.

 

[Hall of Famer]

umm there is another possibility though, the adoptables and forum cookies may be in conflict with each other. Anyway I have a redesigned cookie system for Mysidia Adoptables, it uses user_id and session_id to validate. Id say its a way more secure way of storing cookie, I will make it available soon and update the script files. I hope this will resolve the delayed login issue too for some of you.

 

[KaceKuma]

Could you explain what I'm supposed to put in the $mybbpath = ''; for the config_forum.php script? As in should I just put /forum or generationsaber.com/forum or what? My forum is set up in a separate folder called well..."forum".

Edit: Nevermind. I figured it out... for others if they have this question and see this post the answer is put /forum .

 

[Hall of Famer]

Well I will upload a slightly modified version of Mys v1.3.0 with new cookies system a few mins later. This should not only resolve your problem with user login, but also improve security significantly.

Edit: Download links updated already, enjoy and please lemme know if it works out for you or not.

 

[Kesstryl]

Which files have been updated? I just re-installed all this last night, I'm hoping all I have to do is upload the changed files and not do another re-install (I installed and set up the adoptables part, not the forums, didn't touch those yet). Can you list which changed files I need to upload?

 

[Hall of Famer]

Well you need to replace all files that work with cookies, the following four I believe:
functions/functions.php
login.php
logout.php
register.php

Also go to phpmyadmin and add a new column 'session' with the type varchar(100) in table prefix.users.

 

[Kesstryl]

Thanks, appreciate

 

[Corsair]

I'm having the same issue.

 

[Hall of Famer]

umm... Can you possibly try to clear up cookies and browser cache? Perhaps it has something to do with your cookies settings, but I am not quite sure about that. I tried it multiple times on my dev demo site(which actually is a fresh install), and never had problem logging in. And btw, how long does it really take you to be able to log in after registration?

 

[Corsair]

Nope I cleared my cache and cookies and the same thing.

Maybe you will have more luck with it.

[Hall of Famer]

It does not work for me either, umm... Can you go to the table prefix.users and see if a session string is inserted into the column 'session'? Or if possible, take a screenshot of it so I will get a detailed view of what is going on.

 

[Corsair]

Wait let me mess with this a sec.

 

[Hall of Famer]

umm... What problem did you find?
