Cookie Check

nedjo - October 18, 2007 - 04:23

Drupal requires cookies for user login, but by default no error message is given when a user's browser is set not to accept cookies. The result is a broken site--the user is returned to an empty login form with no indication of why login failed.

Cookie check fixes this issue by checking for cookie support when users are attempting to log in and providing an error message: 'It seems your browser does not accept cookies. To log into this site, you need to accept cookies from the domain @domain.' where @domain is the name of the domain the user was trying to log into.

Based on a patch by chx and others: #2946: no warning is issued if cookies are not enabled. If you'd like this bug to be fixed in Drupal core, please test and review that issue.
