Hi,
I have exactly the same problem in my website. I can login only if I set in my IE6 Options my web site as accepted by the privacy report. Do you think I can solve the problem with your tip? Can you help me doing it?

Thanks a lot.

Look at Berlin's post..
Add the code to the <head></head> section of your index.php in your template...
Notice that the mosShowHead line is AFTER the initEditor line.. this is important.

Code:

if ($my->id) { 
    include ("editor/editor.php"); 
    initEditor(); 
} 
?> 
<?php mosShowHead(); ?>

I had the same problem with IE not letting me log in, and Firefox was working fine. IE was working for me this morning, and then it stopped working. I'd log in and the member count would increase but I couldn't access the user menu. Then I saw the post about fixing the php code for the session cookie timestamp. I then realized my date had gotten set to Dec 2006 (this is Jan 2006), so after setting the date back correctly, the login problem went away.

I'm also having this problem. I've tried deleting cookies - does not help. The only way I can stay logged in when using IE is to check "Remember me" check box. I also think a good idea could be to suggest your users an visitors to switch to FireFox.

I did something different to get around this problem. First I added the following to my .htaccess file:

# -FrontPage-

IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*

<Limit GET POST>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all
</Limit>
<Limit PUT DELETE>
order deny,allow
deny from all
</Limit>
AuthName www.yoursite.com
AuthUserFile /home/yoursite/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.pwd
AuthGroupFile /home/yoursite/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.grp

And then I checked the radio box that say "remember me" in the login form. No problems. For further testing, I cleared my cookie cache and tried again without checking the "remember me" box and it worked. On this site, I can only log in if I check the "remember me" box. So it is definately cookie handling. As far as the .htaccess mod, I guess it works since I can login without having to check "remember me", but I have no idea what the code I added does.

Indeed, the problem seems to be at least to big parts due to the template being used. I upgraded a mambo-driven website from Mambo 4.5.0 1.0.9 to 4.5.1.a and the IE login troubles started. The reason appears to me due to the continued use of the same old template. In this a few changes were needed in the header which I paste here for the community.

------

<head>

<?php
if ( $my->id ) {
initEditor();
}
?>

<title><?php echo $mosConfig_sitename; ?></title>

<?php mosShowHead(); ?>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; <?php echo _ISO; ?>" />

<link href="<?php echo $mosConfig_live_site;?>/templates/sbsimbis/css/template_css.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

</head>

----------

I hope this will be of some use to others!

What remains to be said here is: SPREAD FIREFOX!!! ;-)

All the best to all!

PS. if you're using mambelfish, don't forget to paste the necessary extra code prior to "</head>" tag.

This fix of mfrasch's worked great for me too.

All I did was put this:
<?php
if ( $my->id ) {
initEditor();
}
?>

Before this:
<?php mosShowHead(); ?>

for the template I'm using

Thanks again mfrasch
