I know this is not specifically a Fireboard issue as I've seen it happen on another addon I am running in Joomla but I'm posting the issue here because it relates more to the forum addon than it does Joomla. I've also searched pretty much everywhere for this problem and still haven't found a solution. Some threads here have the same issue but were never resolved so I'll bring it up again.

This issue is reproduced on 1.04 AND 1.05 version of Fireboard.

When refreshing the forum page after the default Joomla session timeout (i've increased it to 60 mins) My Joomla still says I'm logged in (cookies) but my fireboard will say I'm a guest still and only show the guest boards (i have a lot of viewing persmissions set on my different boards). Only after hitting F5/Refreshing the page a second time will Fireboard acknowledge that I've logged in. If I do the first refresh before the Joomla 60 minute session timeout, it works as expected. It only occurs after Joomla's session has timed out and cookies are relied upon.

Any suggestions or advice on this problem would be greatly appreciated. Its been bugging me for a while.

My session is on default setting, and I anyway get the same problem. On my computer I have my session set on remember me ... but each first visit after the joomla session time is over - I log in correctly to joomla, however when going to FB I need to refresh in order to get logged in.

YES, I heve the same problem.

Fireboard 1.0.5 in joomla 1.5

Are there any solution?

Yes, we have the same problem, and it also happens in CB 1.1.

I tracked it down that it IS a Joomla issue, not a Fireboard, CB or any other plugin/module/component that requires legacy mode in Joomla 1.5

The problem turns out to be the legacy plugin is activating before the remember me plugin can work (even if you do have remember me before legacy plugin in your adminback-end).

Here's the bug tracker link I logged with Joomla, they've given me a patch which I've tested and has fixed the problem. They didn't believe me at first, so please sign up for a free account and add that it fixed your problem. You can also reply here as well if you like for other fireboard users to discover this fix. I really am surprised no one before me sorted this out, it took some effort tracing it (at first I thought it might have been a CB bug), then proving it to Joomla. joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomla/tracker...racker_item_id=13662

Thanks for the help. I also think it can be a Joomla problem. But I fail to understand the procedure to solve it (my English is not very good).
Please can you explain the steps? I do not know thatr I have to add to legacy.php and where.

Many thanks.

Go to the link I posted, and download the 13662.patch file and open in a text editor.
Inside is the change to make to your legacy.php file, however it's based on 1.5.8 if yours is older you may need to hunt around in the file to find the right spot.

If your having trouble with that, you maybe best waiting for them to include it in a new version of 1.5.x

YES I open the patch file but I dont find how to insert it in legacy.php. I have Joomla 1.5.8. but not that I do surveys in legacy.php. Do I have to change or add anything in legacy.php?

I dont find the text of patch in legacy.php

the lines that start with + are the patch (new code) that needs to be inserted between the lines above and below (lines without +) in your legacy.php file, as indicated by the @@ line it's around line 257 in 2.5.8

Thank you.
I had spent a very rare thing. I installed the 1.5.7 Joomla version and then I gave an update to 1.5.8
When accessed legacy.php did not appear the lines of the patch, so I downloaded the full pack of Joomla 1.5.8 and modify the legacy.php of that version (Here it appeared the lines)

I applied the patch and changed index.php adding the to see if it works well now.

Well, you don't really need that line, just wait for the timeout and refresh and see if you're still logged in or not. The line is only for people who don't have fireboard, CB and don't believe the error exists...

If your problem is fixed, please reply here and more importantly, on the bug tracker as well, so they can see it is a major problem and get it into 1.5.9
