user domains and session data

[imstillatwork]

Today I wanted to add a few features to a project.

Users log on at

http://www.domain.com/logon/

And manage their blog at

http://www.domain.com/members/

Their blog actually lives at usename.domain.com

I need to access a logged on users session from their blog url. the session is set at the generic

http://www.domain.com

url.

Anyone have a good suggestion?

this worked

http://www.coldfusionmuse.com/index.cfm/2006/7/28/sessions.and.subdomains

I have complex data types so cookies for the session data is out of the question.

name.domain.com would have started a separate session than

http://www.domain.com

under normal use of sessions.

So, you used cookies.

um.. session always uses cookies, the url, or form to track the session.

I am using the session scope to store the data relevant to the user.

So saying from the beginning 'use cookies' doesn't help much without specifying why and how in a situation that I don't recall being documented or explained by macromedia or adobe.

setclientcookies="No"

and manually settings the cookie that will track the session is by far - NOT the standard way of doing this.

Sorry for not being clearer. You stated "I need to access a logged on users session from their blog url...Anyone have a good suggestion?"

I simply suggested cookies because they would allow you to access a logged on users session throughout your application. I use cookies for session manipulation to a great extent, so much so that I guess it has become second nature in some cases. I guess that since I do it so much, I didn't realize that no one else really uses it.

I'm sorry for any confusion.

Hope This Helps!

no problem!I could have specified session scope vs user session better.
