[Plugin: WP Vanilla Connect] Not signing out of Vanilla Forums

[chris_aitken]

Thanks for your plugin and various forum answers — I’ve been able to get your plugin running on my own domain. I’m having one issue: when a user logs out of WordPress, they remain logged into Vanilla Forums. Is there a way to force a logout of Vanilla Forum when logging out of WordPress?

The problem arises when one user logs into WordPress and then the jsConnect into Vanilla Forum. However if they logout of WP and another user logs in on the same machine, they are going to be logged in as the “old” Vanilla Forum user.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Cheers, Chris

Hey Chris, Thanks for trying out WP Vanilla Connect 1.1. I noticed the same thing was happening to me too during my test with embedded installs. This is on my todo list for the next version since 1.1 doesn’t officially support Vanilla as an embedded install.

Your use case (shared browser) is a perfect example as to why this functionality is needed, so I will put some urgency in getting the two platforms to share the same WordPress logged on cookies.

I don’t have any experience in coding for Vanilla, so if anyone has a clue. Please post it in these comments.

Not getting notices for new forum post: I enabled notices for all future postings, so I should be notified from now on, but I always seem to just notice a posting, instead of getting them as soon as they arrive.

I just uploaded the latest version of WPVC, now at 1.1.1. This version adds some Vanilla cookie removal code when you log out of WordPress. You may need to change the Vanilla cookie values, but if using the default install, you shouldn’t have to change a thing.

Thanks for the latest version of WPVC … I’ve added it to my site. I must be doing something wrong, however, since it doesn’t seem to be removing cookie’s when I logout. I tried on both Chrome and Safari, running OS X 10.6

I also changed the cookie settings to try and “reset” the cookies but it doesn’t seem to have helped. Is there something obvious I’m doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

Cheers, Chris

First try to find out what the name of the cookie is. You could have configuration settings that change the path and cookie name, so you should check this in the browser settings. I used Safari to get the cookie names.

Firefox has some extentions you could use like Firebug and possibly others.

Also, what is the format of your Vanilla URL? (in root or sub-directory)

Did you add any values to the Vanilla cookie settings?
