Disappearing Edit and Delete Links

[JeffBlogworthy]

Hello,

Using: Serendipity 0.8.2 and PHP 4.3.10

With: delete and edit link v 1.10

Delete and edit links appear immediately after logging into administration panel only. Otherwise, they disappear on next visit.

P.S. I wanted to say how much I love the random quote generator. Awesome plugin!

they only appear if you are logged in.

readers of your blog don't see them.

if you want to make them permanent you can change the template so it's not conditional on being logged in - see entries.tpl

I see. In the past, serendipity planted a cookie so it recognized me on return. Is this a security risk? Having to log in seems to defeat the purpose of having the edit button shortcut in the first place.

It's not a huge security risk if you can physically control who has access to your computer/user account.

Serendipity does indeed still support this. You just need to check the "Save information" box on the login page when you login.

If that is not working, we will need to further troubleshoot the problem.
Post if you have troubles.

I appear to already be logged in. When I go to login page, it says "Welcome Back" yet, there are still no "edit" buttons on posts unless I go to administration page, then back to weblog. The cookie does not seem to work for the edit link.

Jeff, did you make sure that the URL you use to enter your Admin panel is the same you use like your frontend page?

Because if you go to http://yourblog/ it will not recognize you as logged in if your admin panel is access via http://www.yourblog/...

Garvin,
That was a very good catch. That is exactly what I was doing. Thanks.
