Using Yabbse in a frame on separate domain

[eteune]

I have YaBBSE running at one domain:
www.domain1.com/directory1/index.php
and I am trying to use it inside a frame at another domain:
www.domain2.com/frame.htm
I can login, but then if I try to navigate to anything it sends me back to the login screen.

Now, I can use it in a frame in domain1,
www.domain1.com/directory2/frame.htm
and everything works fine.

Why does it work in one frame but not the other domain's frame, and can I make it work in the other domain's frame?

thanks,

Ed

Browsers are specifically designed not to share cookie info between domain names. That prevents one site from "stealing" another site's cookie info.

Not all browsers, I might add (No browsers allow cookies to actually be stored across domains, but only some have problems with use of forums in frames in a different domain than the actual frameset) - That is because some browsers consider that third-party cookies, such as IE 6.0.

You can generally make it work by lowering the security settings in the browser, but that would then have to be made for each user...

You can make frames work, but you will never (should never) get cookies to work across domains.

Any browser that allows one domain to read the cookie from another domain would be one BIG security hole in that browser. Note I'm not talking sub-domain to domain, but top-level domain to top-level domain. If you ever getting it working in a browser, it's time to dump that browser.

Doh!, domains and cookies, forgot about that.
thanks, will have to find a new host then to put everything on the same domain or just navigate to a frame on the second domain, or make it match the look of the first domain.

If it's a *subdomain*, you can use my Global Cookies mod.  Otherwise, it can't be done.
