Pls Help> clicking on my banner logs me out of customers account

[turkey850]

I have a problem, hope someone can help.

 

When clicking the banner of my website it returns me to the home page ok but it also logs me out of the session so i have to log back in to continue shopping.

 

How can i fix the problem?

 

Thanks

Did you make any changes to that code (in header.php) ?

I am not an expert ,I just think may be you lost tep_href_link part of the banner code.

This is the original code from unchanged osc

<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
 <tr class="header">
<td valign="middle"><?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'oscommerce.gif', 'osCommerce') . '</a>'; ?></td>
<td align="right" valign="bottom"><?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL') . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'header_account.gif', HEADER_TITLE_MY_ACCOUNT) . '</a>  <a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'header_cart.gif', HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS) . '</a>  <a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING, '', 'SSL') . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'header_checkout.gif', HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT) . '</a>'; ?>  </td>
 </tr>
</table>

look for the part of code FILENAME_DEFAULT

and this is the code from your header

<table border="0" width="742" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center">
<tr class="header">
<td valign="middle" align="center"><?php echo '<a href="http://mydomain.com">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'md_banner1.jpg', 'mydomain') . '</a>'; ?></td>
</tr>
</table>

 

you need to use tep_href_link routine to keep the session.
