I've got a website that already requires users to login. I've managed to edit the registration information for that part of the website, so it populates the FORUM_MEMBERS table appropriately. My ASP knowledge is somewhat limited so any help is appreciated.
What I'm trying to do is allow the user to log in to the main page and then have them automatically logged into the forums when they get to that. In testing, I've been trying to save their username and password in a session variable, but I've had no luck.
I had put the code into the login.asp page I had for the other part of my site and that didn't work. I changed it and added the code to inc_top.asp and that worked.
Thanks again.
One thought though - How could I get this to work for users that won't allow cookies?
if they are not running cookies they are not going to have fun on your forum in the first place because they will need to log on every time they post and reply so this should not be an issue then.
