[geeklog-devel] Sessions, again

[Blaine Lang]

Why don't we just use the core PHP Session functions - that was my original
intention all along.

There will still be a browser session based cookie.
SESSION Based files will be the current only option
We can have a Config Parm to disable sessions which can be off by default
for now

No doubts about that.

I'm not pessimistic, I was just annoyed.

I agree that Geeklog's session handling needs an overhaul. But this isn't
something that we should rush.

I agreed to adding the HTTP_Sessions code on the assumption that it
wouldn't break anything, but that turned out not to be the case. So I've
removed it from CVS again now and say we make that our #1 priority for
the next release after 1.3.10.

It's only 3 lines of code anyway:

<http://cvs.geeklog.net/diff.php/geeklog-1.3/public_html/lib-common.php?
ws=0&r1=1.371&r2=1.372>

Yep.

bye, Dirk
