hi i wanted my user to be redirected to active topics... so i edited following in inc_header.asp
"<meta http-equiv=""Refresh"" content=""2; URL=" & Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER") & """>" & vbNewLine & _
as
"<meta http-equiv=""Refresh"" content=""2; URL=active.asp"">" & vbNewLine & _
Now i wanted to modify it as if the user logs in from default.asp then he should be redirected to active.asp ... but if he logs on from any other file like post.asp then he should be returned to origional page so that he can continue his post.

Do a little test with an if statement. Test the variable HTTP_REFERER, as done in line# 58, register.asp . If the value includes default.asp, redirect to active.asp, otherwise, redirect to HTTP_REFERER.
You should be aware, however, that most firewalls block this info, so such a simple situation may fail for most users. If you really want to handle this in all situations, you'd better keep the info from the current page in one of your own session variables named, say, CurrentPage, and then when you arrive at a new page you can check the value of the variable to find out where the user came from.
CurrentPage can be determined using code like this:
Session.Contents("CurrentPage") = Request.ServerVariables("SCRIPT_NAME")

Very Sorry to say that i am almost unfamilir with asp.
i do know a lil more about java.
what i have done is to check in if that HTTP_REFERER = default.asp then ........
But it had come out with an error giving out comipltaion error etc.
So please be more generous in telling me the exact code that should work in most of the cases
thanks |

| Hmmm... Been thinking about this. If you redirect to active.asp as soon as the user enters default.asp, the user won't be able to access default.asp, even if he wants to access specifically default.asp, ever, without being redirected. Sorry to ask, what sense does that make? |

i want that IF users enters username and pass from default.asp then he should be redirected to active.asp
and IF he enters username and pass from other pages like topic.asp then he should be redirected to HTTP_REFFRER. |

Replace lines# 310-311
Response.Write "<meta http-equiv=""Refresh"" content=""2; URL=" & Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER") & """>" & vbNewLine & _
"<p align=""center""><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """><a href=""" & Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER") & """>Back To Forum</font></a></p>" & vbNewLine & _
"<table align=""center"" border=""0"" cellPadding=""0"" cellSpacing=""0"" width=""95%"">" & vbNewLine & _
" <tr>" & vbNewLine & _
" <td>" & vbNewLine
by
if InStr(Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER"), "default.asp") = 0 then
Response.Write "<meta http-equiv=""Refresh"" content=""2; URL=""active.asp"">" & vbNewLine & _
"<p align=""center""><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """><a href=""active.asp"">Back To Forum</font></a></p>" & vbNewLine & _
"<table align=""center"" border=""0"" cellPadding=""0"" cellSpacing=""0"" width=""95%"">" & vbNewLine & _
" <tr>" & vbNewLine & _
" <td>" & vbNewLine
else
Response.Write "<meta http-equiv=""Refresh"" content=""2; URL=" & Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER") & """>" & vbNewLine & _
"<p align=""center""><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """><a href=""" & Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER") & """>Back To Forum</font></a></p>" & vbNewLine & _
"<table align=""center"" border=""0"" cellPadding=""0"" cellSpacing=""0"" width=""95%"">" & vbNewLine & _
" <tr>" & vbNewLine & _
" <td>" & vbNewLine
end if
Haven't tested this but I think it will work... for users that have HTTP_REFERER preserved by their firewalls. |

No,
It always takes me to active.asp and never to the HTTP_REFFERER 
And please do think that what can be done to avaoid a situation with a fire wall
I think a better option will be to redirect him to HTTP_REFFERER |

Sorry, in the part in red, replace the existing '=' sign by a '<>' as shown
if InStr(Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER"), "default.asp") <> 0 then
Response.Write "<meta http-equiv=""Refresh"" content=""2; URL=""active.asp"">" & vbNewLine & _
"<p align=""center""><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """><a href=""active.asp"">Back To Forum</font></a></p>" & vbNewLine & _
"<table align=""center"" border=""0"" cellPadding=""0"" cellSpacing=""0"" width=""95%"">" & vbNewLine & _
" <tr>" & vbNewLine & _
" <td>" & vbNewLine
else
Response.Write "<meta http-equiv=""Refresh"" content=""2; URL=" & Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER") & """>" & vbNewLine & _
"<p align=""center""><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """><a href=""" & Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER") & """>Back To Forum</font></a></p>" & vbNewLine & _
"<table align=""center"" border=""0"" cellPadding=""0"" cellSpacing=""0"" width=""95%"">" & vbNewLine & _
" <tr>" & vbNewLine & _
" <td>" & vbNewLine
end if
The way to fix the code for users without HTTP_REFERER is as I explained in my first post, to create a Session variable to which you assign the value of the current page, in inc_header.asp.
Of course, you can only assign it the current value after you test it. Since there are some pages that post to itself, it may be hard to keep this variable always up to date.
I'm sorry, but I simply don't have the time to do that and test it now, nor for the next few days. |

This is just what I think I was looking for. I wanted to direct users to default.asp if they logged in from my portal and return them to where they came from if they logged in from anywhere in the forum.
Thanks ruirib, you seem to be saving my bacon quite a bit lately. (blatant kiss up to get you to figure out the session variable test) |

| This didn't work for me. It always returned me to where I logged in from. |
