RE: [SM-PLUGINS] Re: Options page for certain plugins doesn't appear with http_auth

[Artit J. <ar...@pg...>]

Not a problem. In fact, after further digging by a coworker, we've
narrowed it down to a problem with the login_cookie hook. (Note that
none of us are really programmers, so this is what seems reasonable to
us.)

It looks like http_auth uses the login_cookie hook, which in the
src/login.php file, comes right before the script that squirrelmail uses
to autodetect the javascript. However, in the hook function in the
http_auth pluging, after getting the http username and password, it does
a redirect to the src/redirect.php page. So it looks like the
autodetection script never gets run.

In the meantime, just to make it work, we'ved edited the http_auth
plugin to redirect to
"src/redirect.php?login_username=$login_username&js_autodetect_results=true" instead, and while not the most elegant solution, since all our uses have javascript capable browsers, it gets the job done.

Hope this helps anybody else having similar problems =)
