Could someone tell me in what file I would need to change the "REDIRECT" page for when a person has logged out? I dont' want the member to return to the forum.. when s/he logs out... I want them logged OUT!

I had it set up on one of my test forums where after you click the LOGOUT button.. it gives the normal SNITZ message of having logged out.. but then it got redirected to a special page that gave other options.. and was no longer connected in any way to the forum..

The file and line would be helpful!

Thx bunches!!!

OH.. and while we're at it.. the file for the REDIRECT to page for when you LOGIN. I'm setting up a separate login page.. but need it to be directed elsewhere at first as well..

Ok.. thx again! (back to the drawing board)

Well, If I'm not wrong you didn't get it yet. They are in inc_top.asp.

Find the codes similar to the following (search "refresh"). Each one redirects to self but you can change them to whatever you like (i.e. replace current URL tag with URL="mylogin.asp").


<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="2; URL=<% =Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER") %>">

What you should do is I think:
1. Make a copy of inc_top.asp to a file (say) mylogin.asp. From this page delete all contents, and put your contents. Don't delete necessary DB related lines. It will also be usefull to keep (somehow) home/profile/register/FAQ menu items. Keep the login button, change the related refresh URL to default.asp, but delete Logout button related code.
2. In inc_top.asp, delete login button related code. Leave the logout button as it is and change the redirect to mylogin.asp.

It took me a lot of hours to do a similar thing, but with frames. You may have a look at my Snitz Powered Virtual Istanbul Museum site (on production) http://www.istanbulmuzesi.org/default1.asp. Try it twice. I have a redirection code to a park page, to keep novices away.

If you like I can send you the related code (e-mail me).

fairly close to each other in the inc_top.asp you will see lines such as this


<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="2; URL=<% =Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER") %>">

just give a little change to the URL= portion and all should be well

Doh! beaten by minutes!

YES! changing the URL= to wherever I wanted to end up worked... BUT.. it took a little looking at to realize that I did not need the first quote mark (") after the =sign.. because it is after Content="2 yada yada.. so I changed my line from:

meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="2; URL=<% =Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER") %>">

to:
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="2; URL=../logouttheme.asp">

And it works like a charm now..
(the reason for the ../ in front of the page is because it is in a different directory.. but otherwise, if it were in the same directory, you'd not need the ../ in front of the redirected page!

TYVM guys!!!
