Persistent admin login when switching languages?

By hunthunthunt on 24 Feb 2009 at 09:55 UTC

I currently have a site translated in to 7 languages.

As language negotiation is domain based, the admin user is logged-out when switching languages.

I have changed the value of $cookie_domain in settings.php - to no avail.

Is there any way to perserve logged-in state when changing languages?

Thanks

Can you be more specific? What did you do? Was the URL like http://language.example.com and you set $cookie_domain='example.com';?

Sure, I have 7 domains, as such:

In an attempt to keep admins logged in, I tried:

$cookie_domain='www.example.eu';
&
$cookie_domain='server IP address';

Neither of which worked.

Thanks for help, am kind of stuck with this.

As far as I know you can't maintain cookies across different domains. But I am no expert.
