Morris: Just upgraded to FF 3.0.8 and the cookie problem appears to
be a thing of the past. My txtUserName cookie setting is working fine
now. Thanks for the suggestion!

It may not be relevant but I have resolved a number of unpredictable cookie
saving problems recently by looking inside the cookiejar and finding some
text option set with values including {{tiddler.title}}, unpredictable
results occurred including the loss of my uesr cookie.

The bug seemed to be attended to in 3.07, who knows how long in may have been lurking or what combination of computer configuration caused it. Perhaps it's time to install 3.08 and take advantage of all of the updates.

What version of Firefox is being used, there was some cookie issues in 3.06 http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/3.0.7/releasenotes/ "For some users, cookies would appear to go “missing” after a few days (bug 444600)."

[tw] Re: Does FF3 save cookies or not?
I haven't taken time to try out Eric's suggestion yet, but am wondering about another workaround. Would it be possible to create a txt file on the c: drive of each users PC that contains their user name. Then whenever the user loads one of our TW files, have the file attempt to get the value for the txtUserName cookie from the predetermined user name contained in the text file on the users c: drive? If that is possible, how would one go about coding that kind of functionality? I assume it would be a matter of a pretty simple systemConfig tiddler, but I've never written any javascript, just hacked on what others have created. ~Roger On Apr 6, 10:39 pm, Eric Shulman wrote: > > enjoyed a couple of the Firefox add-ons, specifically Session Manager > > and Tree Style Tabs. > > I wonder if perhaps one of the Firefox add-ons is somehow interfering > with TiddlyWiki's use of cookies.

[tw] Re: Does FF3 save cookies or not?
We moved to Firefox when we first deployed our TW based files. I guess I'll have to revisit using IE instead, though we've really enjoyed a couple of the Firefox add-ons, specifically Session Manager and Tree Style Tabs. It doesn't look like saving cookies is a problem on IE, so that would solve the immediate problem and hopefully it won't be the source of other issues. ~Roger On Apr 6, 4:07 pm, FND wrote: > > Is it possible to use javascript to set the default username based > > upon the Windows login? > > Only on IE: > http://groups.google.com/group/TiddlyWiki/t/d41ca93e1a756a84 > > -- F. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.

[tw] Re: Does FF3 save cookies or not?
Mike and FND, thanks for the help. I set localhost as an exception for cookies, but txtUserName still isn't being saved. Is it possible to use javascript to set the default username based upon the Windows login? In our environment it would be unusual for someone to be using another person's computer to create/edit a tiddler, so the Windows login username would work fine as the default username. If I could set up the TW so that: If txtUserName = YourName, then txtUserName = Windows login username that would, I think, solve my problem. ~Roger On Apr 6, 2:54 am, FND wrote: > > But, how do I add a cookie exception for localhost? > > Here: > Firefox Preferences > Privacy > Cookies > Exceptions > Enter "localhost" and click on Enable. > > HTH. > > -- F. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.

[tw] Re: Does FF3 save cookies or not?
Mike, You're correct, sadly that's not the answer I'm looking. I am using SetUserNamePlugin and have it set up to automatically prompt the user for their name when the TW opens if the name is set to YourName. I had to set it up that way because I am also using the TiddlyLock plugin. With TiddlyLock, if you start to edit a TW with the user name set to YourName, then the TW becomes locked by YourName. So if I force SetUserNamePlugin to check the value of the user name when the TW is loaded, that avoids problems if the user needs to edit the TW as SetUserName and TiddlyLock don't bump into each other when the TW is put into edit mode. Unfortunately, if I can't resolve the cookie saving issue, then every user will be getting prompted for their user name on every TW every time it's pulled up. We use hundreds of TW files in our office, so it's not an insignificant annoyance if the UserName prompt has to be dealt with every time. I still don't understand how to set the cookies exception for localhost, which I'm hopeful might be a solution, but I'm not overly optimistic that it will. ~Roger On Apr 2, 11:50 am, Mike wrote: > May not be the answer you are looking for, but I had a similar > problem on a multi user TW and I > installedhttp://www.tiddlytools.com/#SetUserNamePlugin > Prompting for User name a the start of the document > > Mike > > On Apr 2, 8:05 am, Ken Girard wrote: > > > In my home environment I am having no problem with cookies in a 2.5.0 > > TW on Firefox 3.1b3. > > It saves my userName and various configs, right down to having the > > options panel open. > > But, I just realized that this cookie might be also what is causing my > > cookies to persist for 2.4.1 TW files. > > Interesting as I'd never tried to think of it that way before. > > > Ken Girard > > > On Apr 1, 6:37 pm, roger wrote: > > > > FND, > > > Yes, I've been to that link a few times just trying to make sure I > > > correctly understood what was being communicated. > > > > Hmmm, well I guess it doesn't matter so much why FF3 is playing nice > > > with our 2.2.5 files, it's the fact that I can't save the txtUserName > > > cookie for the ver. 2.4.1 files that I need to fix. > > > > Will the localhost URL work for the situation I described?

May not be the answer you are looking for, but I had a similar problem on a multi user TW and I installed http://www.tiddlytools.com/#SetUserNamePlugin Prompting for User name a the start of the document Mike On Apr 2, 8:05 am, Ken Girard wrote: > In my home environment I am having no problem with cookies in a 2.5.0 > TW on Firefox 3.1b3. > It saves my userName and various configs, right down to having the > options panel open. > But, I just realized that this cookie might be also what is causing my > cookies to persist for 2.4.1 TW files. > Interesting as I'd never tried to think of it that way before. > > Ken Girard > > On Apr 1, 6:37 pm, roger wrote: > > > FND, > > Yes, I've been to that link a few times just trying to make sure I > > correctly understood what was being communicated. > > > Hmmm, well I guess it doesn't matter so much why FF3 is playing nice > > with our 2.2.5 files, it's the fact that I can't save the txtUserName > > cookie for the ver. 2.4.1 files that I need to fix. > > > Will the localhost URL work for the situation I described?

[tw] Re: Does FF3 save cookies or not?
In my home environment I am having no problem with cookies in a 2.5.0 TW on Firefox 3.1b3. It saves my userName and various configs, right down to having the options panel open. But, I just realized that this cookie might be also what is causing my cookies to persist for 2.4.1 TW files. Interesting as I'd never tried to think of it that way before.

[tw] Re: Does FF3 save cookies or not?
FND, Yes, I've been to that link a few times just trying to make sure I correctly understood what was being communicated. Hmmm, well I guess it doesn't matter so much why FF3 is playing nice with our 2.2.5 files, it's the fact that I can't save the txtUserName cookie for the ver. 2.4.1 files that I need to fix. Will the localhost URL work for the situation I described? According to the wiki: "using a localhost URL (e.g. file://localhost/home/user/TiddlyWiki.html instead of file:///home/user/TiddlyWiki.html) - that way a cookie exception can be added for localhost" But, how do I add a cookie exception for localhost? ~ Roger On Apr 1, 12:27 pm, FND wrote: > > Why does the txtUserName cookie work fine in FF3 with ver 2.2.5 of > > TW, but not 2.4.1? > > TiddlyWiki's cookie handling should not have changed between those > versions*, so this is most likely a browser issue. > > Firefox 3 is not supposed to store cookies for local files: > http://tiddlywiki.org/wiki/Firefox#Cookies > However, I /believe/ I'd also noticed some inconsistencies in the past. > However, I haven't been able to make out a reliable/reproducible > pattern, so it's hard to analyze this... > > -- F. > > * that's just a guess, so I might be wrong --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.

> Why does the txtUserName cookie work fine in FF3 with ver 2.2.5 of > TW, but not 2.4.1? TiddlyWiki's cookie handling should not have changed between those versions*, so this is most likely a browser issue. Firefox 3 is not supposed to store cookies for local files: http://tiddlywiki.org/wiki/Firefox#Cookies However, I /believe/ I'd also noticed some inconsistencies in the past. However, I haven't been able to make out a reliable/reproducible pattern, so it's hard to analyze this... -- F. * that's just a guess, so I might be wrong --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
