I'm running joomla 1.5 stable with CB1.1. No big problems with login or registration. However, I'm having a little, nit-picky bug which is driving me nuts. Hope someone can help.

If you attempt to submit a blank login form, or if you enter the wrong password, the correct error message appears on the screen. However, if you then try to login while the error message is still displayed, you get an http 403 error (in IE) or an E_SESSION_TIMEOUT error (in firefox.) If you back up to the homepage and refresh, you'll discover that you really ARE logged in. The login was accepted -- but there's no way you could know that, since all you saw was an error screen.

I'm not alone with this error -- forum.joomla.org/index.php?topic=257556.msg1173414 -- which makes me wonder if this is a bug.

Help??

Can anyone give me an idea of where to start looking to fix this? I've reached the end of my debugging skills.

I'm also getting this problem, and am getting complaints from users.

Any expected date for CB1.2 or at least a fix for this?

Thanks.

Me too, this make CB impossible to use, I've disabled CB until the issue is resolved. This is disastrous as I needed the extra registration fields.

All washed up!

To fix CB login issues in Joomla 1.5, try the following (tested in IE and Firefox):

in mod_cblogin.php, change:
[code:1]$request_uri = mosGetParam( $_SERVER, 'REQUEST_URI', null );[/code:1]
to:
[code:1]$request_uri = base64_decode(mosGetParam( $_GET, 'return', '' ));[/code:1]

in comprofiler.php, add:
[code:1]$return = str_replace( '&', '&', $return );[/code:1]
after:
[code:1]$return = trim( cbGetParam( $_POST, 'return', null ) );[/code:1]

Moderators: please re-post this wherever this problem is mentioned.

Edit: The above only works when a return path is definded. Add the following (to the above) to cater for all scenarios.

in mod_cblogin.php, add:
[code:1]if (strlen($request_uri) == 0)
$request_uri = request_uri();[/code:1]
just below:
[code:1]$request_uri = base64_decode(mosGetParam( $_GET, 'return', '' ));[/code:1]

in mod_cblogin.php, add:
[code:1]function request_uri() {
if (isset($_SERVER)) {
$uri = $_SERVER;
}
else {
if (isset($_SERVER[0])) {
$uri = $_SERVER .'?'. $_SERVER[0];
}
elseif (isset($_SERVER)) {
$uri = $_SERVER .'?'. $_SERVER;
}
else {
$uri = $_SERVER;
}
}
return $uri;
}[/code:1]
