Nick^ merciful justice Location: Brisbane, Australia Post count: 78	Now that I've started using the pre-alpha Chromium Mac as my usual browser, I've noticed something that really bugs me. Each time I quit the browser (this happens in Safari as well) my admin and chat cookies are both deleted; while Shinyshell's are not. In Safari, when I looked at my cookie settings, Shinyshell's have an expiry date, while mine do not. In Firefox, however, both cookies work normally. Here's my cookie setting code in the administration log in: # Create a cookie expiration date 10 years from now timenow = electron.include.m.TIMENOW + 315360000 cookie_expiry = electron.misc.timeformat("%a, %d-%b-%Y %H:%M:%S GMT", timenow) cookie_admin = "string" cookie_string = "Set-Cookie: admin=%s; expires=%s" % (cookie_admin, cookie_expiry) templating.header(cookie_string) # Create a cookie expiration date 10 years from now timenow = electron.include.m.TIMENOW + 315360000 cookie_expiry = electron.misc.timeformat("%a, %d-%b-%Y %H:%M:%S GMT", timenow) cookie_admin = "string" cookie_string = "Set-Cookie: admin=%s; expires=%s" % (cookie_admin, cookie_expiry) templating.header(cookie_string) ]]> What am I doing wrong? ______________________________ Lazurane

Nick^ merciful justice Location: Brisbane, Australia Post count: 78	No way. Opera's themes are horrible, and don't integrate with the Mac design at all. That is why I can't and don't use Opera. Plus, the widgets suck. ______________________________ Lazurane

Peter* A Pythonic One Location: US Post count: 99	If I'm not mistaken, if you don't set an expiration date, they're deleted when you close the browser. I'm sure this isn't the answer. I just want to feel helpful. I also don't understand the code, sooo... I guess we can wait for Electron to show up.

Peter* A Pythonic One Location: US Post count: 99	That doesn't make sense; Python is interpreted server-side. O.o Sounds like a Safari problem...

*lec*** Supra stultitiam Location: Varaždin, Croatia Post count: 173	Sorry for the late post. It's not a Safari problem. I assume TIMENOW is declared in electron/include.py as m.TIMENOW = time.time() m.TIMENOW = time.time() ]]> In which case, the correct code is: # Create a cookie expiration date 10 years from now timenow = TIMENOW + 315360000 cookie_expiry = electron.misc.timeformat("%a, %d-%b-%Y %H:%M:%S GMT", timenow) cookie_admin = "string" cookie_string = "Set-Cookie: admin=%s; expires=%s" % (cookie_admin, cookie_expiry) templating.header(cookie_string) # Create a cookie expiration date 10 years from now timenow = TIMENOW + 315360000 cookie_expiry = electron.misc.timeformat("%a, %d-%b-%Y %H:%M:%S GMT", timenow) cookie_admin = "string" cookie_string = "Set-Cookie: admin=%s; expires=%s" % (cookie_admin, cookie_expiry) templating.header(cookie_string) ]]> Because "electron.include.m.TIMENOW" is a nonexistent object, and Python was probably just regarding it as 0. And that would effectively set the expiration date to December 29th 1979. P.S. If you notice, the "m" object is actually __main__ (which is the namespace of the currently executing script). In effect, __main__.TIMESTAMP in the includes script (or m.TIMESTAMP in our case) just declares TIMESTAMP as a global value for easy use.

Kthar Krme jedno bezglavo Location: kroatie Post count: 106	Ribald the Baterman is an NPC from Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn. It was actually a trick question to lure you into posting a reply so that I can reply again and thus increase my, already amazing, post count.

*lec*** Supra stultitiam Location: Varaždin, Croatia Post count: 173	You really tricked me this time. Of course, merely by posting this I'm again being tricked into letting you accumulate yet another post.

Are you ready?!?!?!?!?! Go! Out here in the fields I fight for my...rights to be fooled again. If anyone can guess the name of the band I'm aluding on here, IS! A! LAWNMOWER!!!!!!! P.S.
