Php photo gallery TWG | JFUploader | TWG Flash upload | WFU | Forum

I got the error below and just need to be sure that in doing this I am not breaking other functionality in the site. Does anyone know if changing this setting can do that. If so do you know anything in particular.....?

The Joomla session handler is set to 'database'. This should be changed to 'none' at Site -> Configuration -> System -> Session Handler. Otherwise you maybe have the following problems:

* Changes to the configuration are not used right away because the parameters are not updated in the db session
* If you have 2 menu items with different profiles it is important to set 'none' because it can be possible that not the right profiles are shown.
* You cannot read variables that are set by JFU. This is important if you want to use the Javascript call back functions to access the session variable 'TFU_LAST_UPLOADS' which is an array that contains the file names of the last upload.

So what is you question?

If you session save path is set correctly then this should not affect any other part. It's only the place where Joomla stores the session and JFU needs to access this session too.
I'm copying the session for JFU but as I write as warnings it could be the case that the data is delayed a little bit and this has some side effects sometimes. It's actually only a timing issue. On most servers it does not matter at all and on some you could get the issues described.

So you can test first. If everything works as expected you can leave the setting like it is.

I was wondering if anyone knew this might break some other functionality as described in the question.

As I did not work solely on my site. My student developer helped is now back at school and not answering his emails. I wondered if the setting that is set to database may break on of his tools or configurations we need for something else. That was my concern and question.

I the session save handler is set correctly everything will work like before. This is the case if the php installation was done correctly.
