Single Sign-On Now Works Beautifully

May 15, 2008

I received the new plug-in from the vendor today so the bug I described in the previous article is now resolved. The solution not only logs you in to both accounts (download and blog) but it also logs you out of both as well. I wasn’t even expecting that little perk. I’m a happy camper.

The only quirk I have to tweak is the redirection that occurs if you log-in from an actual article page. The redirection takes you to the My Account page. It does this because normally that’s where I want you to land after logging-in, but in this case, I want to return you to the article you were viewing. I have to get the code to do that from some special people ;-)

If you have any questions about your account(s), logging-in or logging-out, please don’t hesitate to comment or send me a note.

    Oh dear no wonder we haven’t heard from you in a while. The site looks very fresh but I understand a little why it took so long. I have a site that I’m thinking of porting to wordpress any tips you can give me would be helpful.

    Thanks for the beautiful job! BTW I’m still waiting for mailroom although I like the new version of Italian tile.

    Hey CR, well you’re right – this was a heck of an overhaul. Thanks for the kudos :) Right now I have tons of tips I could give you because it’s all fresh in my mind.

    You might have noticed that I’m building out various sub-topics within the Tools area, one of which is WordPress. I cannot recommend a better all-around content management system and I’d like to help more people make the most of it. You’ll want to keep your eyes on that section of the site.

    And yes, Mailroom… holy smokes I’m back here for three days and the requests for that one won’t stop. I promise I’ll get that out here as soon as I have the store pages migrated back into WordPress.

    Suz,

    I can post a comment here, but not on your latest post about the new store being open – strange! I just get the login prompt at the bottom of that post. Anyway, love the look of the new store – very clean and easy to understand!

    I think that’s related to the page caching I have enabled right now Ron. If you’re logged-in, and the page shows the log-in box at the bottom where the comment entry field should be, just refresh the page and i think it should fix itself.

    I’m kind of new to the caching thing so I’m still working out the kinks. Part of that might be that our browsers are caching pages as well so when you visit a page you’ve been too before, it doesn’t actually reload the page, but serves it up in the state it was, last time you visited.

    In either case, just try refreshing the page and I think that should fix it for you.
