Note: issue is only in version 5.1.16 not with 5.0.76. Issue is with a browser cookie that is created right after voting on a link. After voting, I cannot access my link site as my browser pukes up a http 406 not acceptable until I clear the browser's cookies. Tried on different browsers(firefox,IE,opera) and different computers/networks with same error. I have isolated the line of code to the file - classes/onelink.php line676. if (!strstr(" {$_COOKIE[$cv]} ", " {$this->id} ")) makecookie($cv, " {$_COOKIE[$cv]} {$this->id} ", time() + ($settings->expirecookie * 86400)); The generated cookie name is blank (strange?),the value is something like ++1+, and expiration is in 2050. When I comment that line out, no cookie is generated with no issues accessing site. Or, if I change $cv to 'test' in the makecookie, I get a cookie named test with the same value in my browser and again no issues accessing site afterwards. I find that wsnlinks version 5.0.76 (re-installed for troubleshooting/comparison) does not generate a cookie following a vote. I'm guessing a generated unnamed cookie is causing my headache when one rates a link. Comparing code between 5.0.76(works) and 5.1.16(problem) is difficult as it appears this function had a major update. Any "serious" issues if I leave this line commented out for now until I/we can determine a solution???? Thanks in advance for any help, Rich wsnlink ver 5.1.16 classes/onelink.php line 676 Edited by RF on 12/24/09 - 1:20 PM |

Changing if ($this->objecttype == 'onelink') $cv = 'votes'; to if ($this->objecttype == 'link') $cv = 'votes'; a few lines above that should fix it. Oddly, the blank cookie names aren't causing any problems in my browsers. |
