Am I right with the assumption that the authentication status is saved with the standard PHP session function, so, with a cookie called "PHPSESSID"? If so, that's not a good name for a cookie^^ I would like to see a ManiaConnect-related cookie name, so that the user can use PHPSESSID himself.

And, if I once have confirmed that I accept to send my data, I'm not asked later anymore, am I? (so, I still have to connect, but there's no confirmation). How about two buttons, one for a permanent login, one for a one-time one?

How does one go about using ManiaConnect in Manialinks? I assume it works the same. However, for the redirection URI, do we specify the Manialink name or a URI to that Manialink?

The authentication status is indeed saved by default in the PHP session. However you're not right about the name of the cookies. It all happens here: http://code.google.com/p/maniaplanet-ws ... ion.php#34

If the session is not already started, it starts it using session_start(); But you can obivously call session_name() (http://php.net/manual/en/function.session-name.php) before to change the PHP session cookie name. That's what we do in ManiaLib for example.

It is indeed exactly the same, so you need to use the URI and not the short manialink.

Thought so. Thanks for the clarification.

Hi,
Is it possible to implement a "remember my credentials" with the ManiaConnect?

I use it to authenticate players and they ask for this feature. I don't know where to begin I don't quite get how the ManiaConnect works.
Thanks.
