using htaccess to rewrite subdomains, but still keep users or sessions active...

[syracusegeek85]

So, I'm designing a new site for a customer, and he wants Support (tickets, and chat), and Status (Network Status, and Issues) to be seperated by subdomain, but still allow for the customers to stay logged in, for example:

 

support.domain.com - This subdomain would house support tickets, live chat, and knowledgebase features, but would only be accessible from support.domain.com.

 

network.domain.com - This subdomain would house network issues, announcements, and the server status pages, and would only be accessible from network.domain.com

 

I am able to separate most of this by using simple rewrite rules with htaccess and the tpls inside the smarty system, but for the life of me can't figure out how to allow the session across multiple subdomains, I know the source is encrypted and it is against the ToS to unencrypt it, but I can't find any way to do what the customer is requesting.

 

I hope someone can shed some light on this.

I realize there are other posts, but I am literally at a stand still with this project until I can get this issue figured out.

 

I know that WHMCS uses sessions and cookies, however I can't find a way to keep the user logged in when navigating to a wildcard whmcs subdomain. Does anyone (anyone at all) have anything I can attempt to do this? Like I previously said, most of the code is encrypted and I don't want to break the rules, but I do need to get this project finished. Please and thank you.

Also, someone asked me in a private message how i made wildcards work, so i figured i'd post it here. kinda related.

 

{php}$url=$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];if (($url=='support.domain.com')) {{/php}

{include file='home-support.tpl'}

{php}} else if (($url=='status.domain.com')) {{/php}

{include file='home-status.tpl'}

{php}} else {{/php}

{include file='home-site.tpl'}

{php}}{/php}

I don't think anyone have gotten this to work

 

I've been searching over and over for the last 24 hours..

Hi,

 

This might point you to the right direction:

 

 

http://docs.whmcs.com/LoginShare

 

 

In your templates on each domain you might have to use the API to retrieve the login info for each user.
