Major Complaint

eurobillsandcoins · Post by **eurobillsandcoins** » Mon Nov 18, 2002 12:55 am

After entering 20 (or something like that) notes through advanced entering the screen said I didn't log in and the side on the screen said I logged in while entering. One I push "GO" it says I didnt log in and In wasted 10 minutes!

When using advanced I always use the text box at the bottom of the screen. If I entered more than 5 notes there, I always copy the content to my clipboard (ctrl+c) so in case something goes wrong with the input, I can always paste it back (ctrl+v)

What is sometimes annoying is, if you forget to push the button "tranfer to above form" then your input is lost if you don't have it in your clipboard.

[the "not logged in"-issue I also have on some PC's other than my own,
I don't know if there is a solution, but there was a thread about it once]

I had some problems too with the advanced mode, and I decide to enter a maximum of 5 bills at a time...

I too have problems with the login...
When I login, everything is allright, but when I close my browser, and open it again (the next day for example) it days I'm still logged in.
And when I click a link, suddenly I'm not logged in anymore...

When I don't mark the box 'keep me logged in' I still have that same problem.
It has nothing to do with cookies I think, because I never had that problem on other sites.
And on EBTForum I don't have that problem either.

So everytime I want to enter notes, I have to click a link, log in, and then I can start to enter my notes. Sometimes, when the server is really slow, it's not fun.

And I too always copy the content of my textbox before entering. Just in case something happens

I'll try to find a moment this weekend to see how the forum is coded to do this

Problems

It has always been that way on my PC. I'm used to it and I always log out when I leave. No problem that way

Well, that's another option ofcourse

I tried to log in using Opera7 instead of Internet Explorer6, but it doesn't change anything.
So I don't think it has anything to do with my computer....
Maybe it's because I (and you too bhoeyb) have to use a proxyserver, because our ISP (Telenet) blocks all incomming ports <1024.
That means that port 80 is blocked aswell, and we have to use a proxy server on a higher port (8080) to be able to surf...

Re: Tiger and Bhoeyb

Since I moved I changed from provider. At my appartment I now have Telenet and since Telenet I also have that problem to log in. It is related to the proxy. At my parents home, I have ADSL from Skynet and there is no problem with the log in.

Re: Eurobilltracker

If you are working with sessionlogins, I would suggest to work with cookielogins....

Yep, I already tought it was the obligated proxyserver of Telenet.
But sometimes I'm still logged in when I go the the EBT site.
But most of the times I have to click a link, see a message that I'm not logged in, and then log in again.

I already use cookies to do that automatic login, do you mean I should check the cookie to determine if there is a session ?

I just use normal PHP4 session handling

I'm not that big programmer in PHP4 so I can't really help out. Theoretical I would say, add "logged in" in the cookie and at the beginning of every page check if they are "logged in" or not. If they are "logged in" then they can continue else they get redirected to the homepage. Don't forget to log them out in the cookie if they log out!!
Hopes it helps...

I already have a cookie for auto login, you can find it in your cookie directory.
After login, I set "loggedin" to true in the session that the PHP server keeps alive. At the top of every page, I check wether I still see that value in the session.
So I guess these proxies are removing the session, what is surprising is that I have coded things so that the session is explicit in every URL you click (except offline generated stats such as the tables)... is that where you lose your login ?

I removed the proxyscript of pandora and directly use the proxy.telenet.be as gateway to the internet and I now seem to have a stable connection. Hopefully this will solve the problem.

Ciao,
Mr Euro

Tiger · Post by **Tiger** » Sun Nov 24, 2002 9:18 pm

I always use proxy.telenet.be (pac.pandora.be, the automatic script sucks !

)
But I still have the problem...
