login / logout two sites

[newone]

I have two sites www.mysite.com and www.mysite.com/directory/ I have a link from mysite.com to /directory/
and back again. My question is? when a person logs into either site first and uses the link to get to the other site is there a way for them not to be already login to the second site? Thanks

I'm not understanding fully. But let me take a guess at what you're trying to ask.

Do you have 68classifieds installed once at www.mysite.com/directory/ and installed again at www.mysite.com, each having their own mysql database?

If that is correct, you want both scripts to use the same user database?

The answer is no. When you login to a website you create a user session which is only valid for that domain.

What I have is a classified site and a directory site. If a member is log into the classified site then goes to the directory site it will show them as login. Or if you are a member in the directory site, and browse to the classified site it shows you login. How do you stop this. Both are using different databases.Thanks again

It looks like he's using the same domain name..

If both of your scripts are using the same databases then the person shouldn't be logged into a different script placed on a different directory within your domain name. You may want to put a support ticket in and have them take a look at your problem.

Everything is working as intended. Even if the two sites are using the same database, which he said they are not, the cookies are likely created using a domain and path to the site which means that

mydomain.com

and

mydomain.com/mydirectory/

are different sites and thus different sessions/cookies. For starters you would likely have to heavily modify the site so that both installs use same database (at least for users) so user data is the same for both sites. Then you would have to modify how one of them creates cookies/sessions so the values that are created are the same for both.

Not really a support issue since its all working as intended. This would customization.

If a member is login to ether site, and uses the link to the directory or classified site, is it possible to have them auto logout of the site that they had left from? Or maybe inform them that they are going to be logout, it they continue, Giving them an option.

[Maffo]

If the user is on the directory, send them to Classifieds/logout.php and vice versa.

That works, but can they land on the homepage or the index.php, instead of the login.php page?

You need to change the redirection in the same code from userlogin to index.php
