the_spindoctor Posted October 2, 2008 Author Posted October 2, 2008 No .. You seem to have misunderstood the first 9 defines You missed out the first two If this is not correct, then I really am lost (and not very knowledgeable in this area anyways) This is from the online files of the public_html/includes/configure.php file / Define the webserver and path parameters // * DIR_FS_* = Filesystem directories (local/physical) // * DIR_WS_* = Webserver directories (virtual/URL) define('ENABLE_SSL', true); // secure webserver for checkout procedure? define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '/'); define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '/'); define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/'); define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/'); define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/'); define('DIR_WS_ICONS', DIR_WS_IMAGES .

the_spindoctor Posted October 2, 2008 Author Posted October 2, 2008 They are still there after the change, but if the site is refreshed 2-3x's then the osCsid seems to go away. However, as soon as you return to the site, it is back. The problem is trying to submit the site to a link site that will not accept the osCsid attached to the "links.php" html text.

That is the nature of sessions, the osCsid MUST exists when you enter the site .. so that a user gains a session . . after one or two clicks it should disappear which means the session has been stored.

the_spindoctor Posted October 2, 2008 Author Posted October 2, 2008 FWR - First let me thank you for all of your help. Above and beyond call of duty. Is it just the nature of the osCommerce program to do this with sessions? There is no way to avoid it?
lindsayanng Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 you can force cookie usage which will take out the oscid but you will then require your customers to have cookies enabled.. I do have them enabled on my site, but for a few more reasons than just the sid. there are some contributions called SID killer.. i have not done too much research on it, but you might want to look into the contributions A great place for newbies to start Road Map to oscommerce File Structure DO NOT PM ME FOR HELP. My time is valuable, unless i ask you to PM me, please dont. You will get better help if you post publicly. I am not as good at this as you think anyways! HOWEVER, you can visit my blog (go to my profile to see it) and post a question there, i will find time to get back and answer you Proud Memeber of the CODE BREAKERS CLUB!!
BryceJr Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 If you are inputting those links, they can be manually removed by deleting the osCsid part of the link. Example: www.your_site.com/product_info.php?products_id=10&osCsid=daqp592645231xzltqvi7 www.mystore.com/index.php?osCsid=675983tf97ujy89ad31xzltqoowqg45n3 www.MyStore.net/links.php?osCsid=7d8ca43420a43f89add848419ccc0e28 You would be submitting something like this www.your_site.com/index.php www.mysite.com/product_info.php?products_id=102 www.MyStore.net/links.php
