What I want to do is to check when they log on if the user has filled out their First name and surename in their profile.
Just to explain why:
I have just made some changes to the forum that makes them required to fill out the First- and surename fields when they register.
Only problem now is to get the already registered users to do the same.
So what I want is: When the user logs in, the forum checks if they have filled out the first name and surename.. if they haven't they get an error msg, saying
"Please go to your profile and fill out your first- and surename"
If they already have filled out the information, the login goes as normal.

That seems like a pretty taxing job on the server, to have to check this for each and every user that is logged into the forum.
I'd suggest you make an extra file and include this in all pages EXCEPT pop_profile, config, inc_top, inc_functions, inc_top_short, inc_footer, and inc_footer_short so they they don't get this error at pop_profile as well.
What you need to do is if the user is logged in ( mLev > 1 ) get the record for the member that is logged in.
Check the record rsMember ( for example ) and see if the field has a value
I don't know the name of the field in the db that holds this info, so I'm just using this as an example
if rsMember("M_SURNAME") <> "" then
'do nothing
else
display your error and give them a link to edit their member profile ( see inc_top on how the Profile link is made on the fly )
end if
Is this the most efficient code? Hell, probably not, but it should work.
