I want to use the MT "user" cookie for some author's-only display stuff throughout one of my sites (it's a group blog). Reading the App.pm docs, it says that the function bake_cookie will take a specified path, otherwise it defaults to the MT directory (in my case, /mt).

So I went to the sub "login" in App.pm and added

CODE
, -path => 'www.mydomainname.com'


at the end of the string of arguments, and uploaded it. I deleted the old cookie from my machine and logged in again, but it's still setting the cookie specifically on the /mt directory.

Am I specifying the path in the wrong place?

I found this thread:

but, I'm not trying to use the MT login to grant access to other apps, just confirm a user status for the rest of the domain.
