I first have to preface that I cannot guarantee without really looking into it if these settings are even used anymore since they are also stored in the user table. I also believe these have all been removed in our next release. These are all setting set by the user from within Your Account.

$SetStorynum - Number is stories/news to show on front page
$Setumode - Format to display comments in stories (nested, thread, ....)
$SetOrder - I think this is whether the stories are ascending or descending according to date.
$Setnoscore - I think this determines if the user sees the "score" of a story
$Setublockon - if a users "user" block is active
$settheme - What theme the user has selected
Setcommentmax - Max length of comment to show before it is cut off.

Thanks Palbin

So I have successfully taken all the data from a users facebook account and have stuck it into a temp table and from there placed it into the nuke_users table. Vuwalllah - they have created an account with facebook.

The last step and the problem is I need to set a site cookie immediately after the copy of that data has taken place.

I assume if I use this function it should do the trick? Yes?

function yacookie($setuid, $setusername, $setpass, $setstorynum, $setumode, $setuorder, $setthold, $setnoscore, $setublockon, $settheme, $setcommentmax) {

Is there a better way?

Okay that did not work. I've gone so far as to do this and - well - its like there is a cookie there for 1 click ... if I click again its gone.

$setuid = $nuke_users_id;
$setusername = $rand_id;
$setpass = $new_pass;
$setstorynum = "10";
$setumode = "nested";
$setuorder = "0";
$setthold = "0";
$setnoscore= "0";
$setublockon ="0";
$settheme ="";
$setcommentmax = "4096";
$ccookiepath = "/";
$ccookiedomain = ".mymidohio.net";

Code:




/// yacookie($nuke_users_id, $rand_id, $new_pass, $setstorynum, $setumode, $setuorder, $setthold, $setnoscore, $setublockon, $settheme, $setcommentmax);


$ccinfo = base64_encode($setuid . ':' . $setusername . ':' . $setpass . ':' . $setstorynum . ':' . $setumode . ':' . $setuorder . ':' . $setthold . ':' . $setnoscore . ':' . $setublockon . ':' . $settheme . ':' . $setcommentmax);


//setcookie('user', $info, time() + $ya_config['cookietimelife'], $ya_config['cookiepath']);





setcookie("user", $ccinfo, time()+2592000, $ccookiepath);
