carrying sessions into popups

pablodelapena

I have a feature on ym website which resides in a popup. On my main site is et the user with a session variable. However when I popup the new window the previous session is not there.

Is it possible for this session to maintained as due the current format of creating a new session the site can get very confused as to how the suer is interacting with the site and add or remove them accordingly cause some time dependant features to be inaccurate.

Is this something my users are just going to have to live with or is there a nother way of dealing withs essions; migrating them across windows.

Try carrying the session id across in the URL. You shouldn't have any problems with this...

thats what I'm doing currently.

What really is the problem is that if the suer logs into ym website through the main login page they are assigned variable X.

If they then open up the popup window (its a buddy list feature) it requires them to log in again. I would like to remove this if possible so that it accepts variable X and checks that in the DB.

Then this poses a problem. If they log in through the Buddy list the website reassigns all session entries to that of the buddy list. If they then close that their session does not update anymore (as the session its looking for was closed when the window was closed.). eventually then the site logs the suer out after 20 minutes which it is set to do.

Is this clear enough?
