Problems when posting from different clients

1 Mar 13, 2006 11:16    

Hi everyone, I hope there's someone here who can suggest a solution to my problem:

I have installed Phoenix 1.6 in January and everything appears to be working smoothly and pretty stable. I'm normally posting from my office on a W2K machine.
However, I now tried to post from at home (W98) and encountered several problems that I have no explanation for:

[list]- When trying to blog something I have to log in repeatedly for everything I do. [I'd say there's no connection to any $baseurl-problem, as everything works fine in the office and I tried all possible variations of the URL anyway...]

- The preview doesn't work, I get a php error-message instead that an invalid parameter has been called in /evocore/itemlist.class.php line 487. That's in the dummy sql-query:

	if( $current_User->check_perm( 'edit_timestamp' ) && param( 'edit_date', 'integer', 0 ) )

- I cannot post any images. When I try, I get a b2e-error saying that the source code isn't well formed near 

<img src="[imageURL]" alt="

As far as I can see, though, the image-tag looks perfectly well-formed, at least in the edit-window...[/list:u]

Any suggestions out there....?

Hi. 1.6 is an alpha release. Did you check the 1.* forum to see if someone else has this problem? I can't imagine it being related to your version of windoze but you never know. More likely, if anything, a browser issue. Are you using the same browser and version from work and home? More likely, are you accessing the same URL and allowing cookies from home? I'm not sure about how 1.6 deals with it, but back in the day there was a difference between www.whatever.tld and whatever.tld. Hope this gets you going in a direction that helps!

I searched the 1.* forum (and all the others as well) but couldn't find any hint. I already posted the problem in the German-language support forum last week but didn't get any replies yet.

I also thought it to be a browser problem at first, as I normaly use Firefox in the office and Mozilla Suite 1.6 at home. So I tried MSIE and Opera in both locations: Same results (i.e. no problem in the office, said problems at home). Cookies and scripts are allowed.
I suspect that for some reason b2 doesn't set any *persistent* cookies on my home machine or that each time I do something in the admin backoffice and click any button there, a new php-session is started and/or the contents of the relevant cookies is overwritten.
Mind you - I'm able to post text from home! I just can't preview it and I have to repeatedly log in when posting it. But it get's transferred to the server alright.

I suppose there probably is a difference between www.domain.tld and domain.tld [or subdomain.domain.tld and www.domain.tld/subdomain as in my case] - but I tried every URL-variation I could possibly think of and the results were the same. And, as I said, the exact same URL that does (still!) work in the office doesn't work properly at home.

Another problem that I haven't mentioned above is that I cannot upload any files using the file manager from home. So when I (tried to) post images (that I then couldn't post anyway...;)) , I had to upload them manually with an ftp-client.

So thanks for your suggestions, which I do appreciate, but I've already tried all that...
