Recent strange session and interface issues with 5.6
Permalink
Hi all
I've noticed over the past few days that my 5.6(.3.1 and .3.2) are exhibiting odd behaviour, with logins not being persistent and elements of the interface not working (the Dashboard menu doesn't appear, although the Edit one does, and the in Dashboard itself the "Back to Website" button just says "Back" now, and the Intelligent Search box and Sign Out buttons have disappeared).
I have no idea what's causing this and there's nothing in my PHP error logs. The fact it has happened to multiple sites on the same server leads me to think it's a server configuration issue, but I can't imagine what would cause such specific problems.
Anyone have any thoughts?
Here's my environment from one of the affected sites:
Any thoughts much appreciated!

This is happening even with a fresh install of 5.6.3.2.
Anyone having similar experiences?
I just upgraded a site from 5.6.3.2 to 5.6.3.3 and it fixed the issue temporarily, but now it's happening again. This is across different installations on different servers. I've disabled the cache and emptied /files/tmp, to no avail.

It's notable that this is happening only in Chrome, and not Firefox or IE (all up-to-date). It's making me consider a more permanent return to FF...
I've also been getting Chrome-only session quirks recently, with non-C5 sites as well.
Hello all
I too have noticed the problem. After login whenever i am clicking in the file manager link or trying to edit content in front end i am redirecting to the login page again.

To be honest this has tipped the scales and I'm going to use Firefox again as my primary browser, after 3-4 years on Chrome.
I have seen this issue also as it was brought to my attention from a client. After testing on multiple browsers with different O/S, it definitely follows Chrome. My logical conclusion is that this may be related to the upcoming roll out for indexing mobile friendly sites.
I would be curious to know how an older version of Chrome reacts. My rational on this is that I could replicate the problem on a full size PC, a notebook , a tablet (Android) and an *iphone (Apple).
*The iphone uses Safari and this is the only device I saw the problem using Safari.
Another point of interest is that Google recently released Chrome for mobile which works on your laptop, tablet and mobile.
I am not a programmer of any level however my comprehension of what I have read is that Concreate5 may need to tweak something (CSS?). (if I am way off, my appologies)

If you search the forums there is another thread on this. It comes from Chrome telling the application it is a mobile browser and the application then showing a stripped down mobile interface. There is a work-round posted on C5.7 Github and hopefully Google/Chrome will get its act together and post a proper fix for the browser soon.
Thanks for that John. Looks like this is the thread:https://www.concrete5.org/community/forums/customizing_c5/chrome-is-...
(I'll take a look tomorrow to see if I can make it work).

Thank you, John. Greatly appreciated! From what I read the fix should be in latest version 5.6.3.3 also. (Which I can handle) LOL
Changing the array values in $phonedevices and $tabletdevices in Concrete/libraries/3rdparty/mobile_detect.php will have to go to those that know. Thank you again. The issue is addressed.
