I'd like to be able to use the forum's member table on other parts of my website. Can someone tell me what the cookies are named for username, password and save password so I can use the same cookies on the rest of my site? (Reading through the code it looks like they might be "User" for username and "userID" for password, but I can't figure out the Remember Me one.)
Actually I had already searched the forums, but hadn't found an answer to my particular question.
With some experimentation, I found out that all three items are rolled into one big cookie called SnitzOOUser, such that if you put the following code on a page:
<%= Request.Cookies("Snitz00User") %>
you get:
Name=yourusername&Pword=yourpassword&Cookies=
Now, I've got a couple of questions left. How would I change the syntax of the above request to only give me the Name or Pword? Also what are the values possible for Cookies (since mine is showing up blank eventhough I've got the Save Password box checked)? "0" for don't save & "1" for save?
and, using the forum, a forum web link to the page (http://vslondon.org/poll/1login.asp). I checked in Main Forum Configuartion that the cookies are set to Website. After logging in, when I open the page from the forum web link the cookies are not displayed. (All I get is Hello Hello!).
It occurred to me that the path of the web link should be a file path rather than http. I moved 1login.asp to the forum folder and gave the path as "file:///1login.asp". Now the weblink doesn't work (cannot find the file).
I don't know where to go from here. Any ideas?
A little later on... Well I just managed to put a link into the top navigation bar and the cookies carry. But that's not where I want the link so if anyone can tell me how and where to change the web link I'd be very grateful
