Imagefield images not uploading

I would offer to help port, but I have gotten similar functionality from this module for Drupal 6: http://drupal.org/project/persistent_login

Hi,

Is it true that both modules Remember_me and Persistent_login do not work well ?

Any other module for the same result ?

Thanks.

Please review this patch for resolving issues with the 5.x version of this module and an explanation on the workings of this module.
For resolution on a 6.x version for this module please check this issue.

Remember_me and Persistent_login, although solving the same use case (a remember me link on the login form), do not have the same goals in mind. Persistent_login tries to improve on the session management of a standard drupal site (http://www.jaspan.com/improved_persistent_login_cookie_best_practice) whilst remember_me aims to fulfill the requirement with the smallest footprint (change to the current drupal implementation) using present best/common practices. With enough attention, this module will easily become a sound solution, whilst persistent_login still has to proof its concept exposing itself to more points of failure.

We should not require yet another module duplicating the same functionality, lets support the ones that are here already.

Closing this issue in hope to promote other items in this queue.

Maybe closing does not have the desired effect, it now does not appear in the my issues list.

Hi there, if all goes well we will have a developer starting shortly (1-2 weeks) with reasonable PHP and some Drupal experience. Among their tasks will be to assist in upgrading (if possible) certain modules we require before upgrading some sites to D6.

Can you provide any update on how the upgrade is going and possibly where our developer could assist.

The current modules we're looking to get upgraded are below in order of importance to us.

http://drupal.org/project/matrix
http://drupal.org/project/ad
http://drupal.org/project/node_limitnumber
http://drupal.org/project/remember_me
http://drupal.org/project/taxonomy_batch_operations

Obviously if things are going well and no assistance is required then that's great news.

Thanks

Thank you for the offer!

Please check with me again before you start...

Hi Drupalina,

Please try the 5.x-2.0-alpha1 release as all the problems you were having were related to the 5.x-1.0 version and not the 2.0 version. The 2.0 version is teh result of new maintainership of this project.

When looking at the usage statistics there does seem to be a few sites using the 2.0 version already without any further issues being opened. This version might aswel move from alpha.

Please check 2.0 version. Looking forward to your comments.

6.x version is ready, just needs to be committed to cvs. :)

Okey... you can call it "fixed" if you wish. It's not :(
I've tested the "alpha" version for 5x. All the same... images are not beng uploaded via imagefield.

I will test it again with the latest version of imagefield. Opening the issue again.

I switched to Persistent Login - not perfect, but at least better than "Remember Me" module . Sorry nickl :-/

I understand your frustration, trying to find session management problems on a site with many contrib modules is no easy task. When I finally found out it was this module causing the problems and that it has been abandoned I had to fix it to save others the same headaches. All I can promise you is that I will try and replicate your error and find a solution.

Quite frankly, Drupal's default session cookie lifetime set at 2000000 works fine. I have never had a problem on Drupal.org for instance. But, I think there should be a module that says "Don't remember me" (or "Not my computer") , rather than "Remember me".

Either way, a comprehensive module that would handle "Remember me" or "Don't remember me" should be part of the core like in Wordpress, while it still doesn't even exist even as a decently functioning contributed module. Neither of the 2 modules "Remember me" or "Persisten login" are 100% reliable, while the latter is slightly closer to functioning.

The 2 projecs and efforts should merge IMHO.

The 2 projects take a vastly different approach to this requirement. This module tries to solve the problem with the smallest possible footprint change to the normal drupal session handling process. It is still the default setting to make use of the standard session cookie lifetime set at 2000000 as core does.
Save it to say, the 2 projects cannot be merged.

Tested with cck 5.x-1.6-1 imagefield 5.x-2.1 remember_me 5.x-2.0-alpha1

Images upload without a problem when remember me not checked at login. Keep in mind that when the checkbox is checked normal drupal behaviour resides. Images display in views et al.

Please double check if update.php was run properly which will set the modules weight to -99 in the system table. There is an install and an update script provided for this module which will both update the system table.

Assuming this issue is now fixed.
