User login dependant on if there's a "www." in the url

[Quillink]

I've noticed that if you're logged in (on my site and other adoptable sites using this script) that if you log in on "www.site.com/etc" and then switch over to just "site.com/etc" they are logged out. Is there any way around this? Such as automatic redirection to "www.site" or something else?

Thanks in advance. ;)

This is because the cookies are set this way.
Perhaps on when it sets the cookies, have it set it both ways? Some people like www, some don't, so you can't win by redirection, I think... :P

That's odd. The cookies should work for both versions. I'll look into it.

put this in your .htaccess to redirect all non www to www

Options +FollowSymLinks 
RewriteEngine on 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yoursite.com [NC] 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yoursite.com/$1 [L,R=301]

[Quillink]

Hmm doesnt seam to work. :\

I don't need to enable htaccess anywhere, do I?

[fadillzzz]

have you change the yoursite.com to your domain?

If it still doesn't work, try to put this code in your .htaccess instead

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yourdomain\.com$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yourdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

This is what my .htaccess looks like with your code:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} arvyre\.com$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.arvyre.com/$1 [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^get/([0-9]+).gif$ /adoptables200/siggy.php?id=$1 [L]

It doesn't seem to be working. Is there anything incorrect in the extract above?

[fadillzzz]

You forgot to put a "^" before arvyre\.com$ on line 3

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^arvyre\.com$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.arvyre.com/$1 [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^get/([0-9]+).gif$ /adoptables200/siggy.php?id=$1 [L]

oh and I just realized on your registration page the allowed length value for the password and password confirmation box are not the same...shouldn't you be fixing it?

Hmm that's interesting, I haven't edited that text area at all..? Thank's for pointing it out. :D

The .htaccess still doesn't seem to work. :S Any other ideas?

[fadillzzz]

hmm...this should be a lot easier if you configure it throught cPanel...don't you have cPanel access to your website?
