Turned off sessions but CMSSESSID still appears in News module output

[matt]

All,

I don't need session and I'd like to turn off appending CMSSESID to each url. I added:

Code: Select all

ini_set('session.use_trans_sid', false);

to include.php just before session_start() and it seems to have solved the problem everywhere, except links that are displayed from News module. Even those links I add manually to a news item are appended. Does the News module overwrite the session.use_trans_sid somehow?

I had the same problem with "print" plugin, but I stopped using it and it solved the problem .

It's not overriding it.  I thought I read somewhere that use_trans_sid can't be overridden with ini_set.  You might have better luck putting:

Code: Select all

php_flag session.use_trans_sid off

in an .htaccess (assuming you have access to do such a thing).

[matt]

I can't do that, because setting any php_flag in my .htaccess causes internal server error and renders my site unusable (I've no idea why that happens).

And the strange thing about this is that the CMSSESSID only appears when I open my page in a new browser instance (not new window). If I refresh the page, or navigate to it from any other page, the CMSSESSID is not there anymore.

I have a similar problem with the UserID module (already described here).
After entering my login data and pushing the ok button, I am "forwarded" to my error page. In the adress line, I see the url of the login page plus cmssess... When I then go to the requested (protected) page, everything's fine - just until I log out. Then, the same thing happens again. Was that understandable?

[matt]

I think I found a solution int the comments here: http://us3.php.net/session

I added:

Code: Select all

@ini_set('url_rewriter.tags', '');
@ini_set('session.use_trans_sid', 0);

to my include.php and commented the next few lines that set session name and start the session. It seems to work.

...and the admin is still working?

[matt]

It's working... but maybe something is still cached?

I don't know, but I'm editing some templates right now and everything seems to be ok.

[Ted]

Very strange.  Oh well, at least it's working. 

I guess the admin would work without sessions enabled, but it means that it's hitting the database everytime for all of the user info.  It's not a big deal, as it's only a query or two...

Maybe it would be worth putting an option in to disable sessions in config.php?

Guess it would!

I have some problems with zugriffsmodule to Implement it into CMSMS.

What version of php do you have?  I'm guessing it's older than 4.3.2.
