Would it be possible to login from a link directely to a private forum, into the correct langue (considering the language is installed) I noticed some posts about manipulating the cookies, but is there maybe someone who wrote a MOD to proxie login using session variables or http posted values?
do you mean you want to be able to pass the login password for the private forum in the URL ??? I'm afraid not, we work very hard to keep this forum secure from hackers, and passing around passwords like that is about as insecure as it gets.
You could possible use a cookie to do what you want, while being a little safer it is still open to abuse if the person uses a shared computer.
If you give a user a link to a private forum (protected by password, allowed member list, etc.) they would have to supply a password or login to gain access. This usually only happens the first time they visit the forum i.e. they do not need to login or supply the password every time.
It is a lot better to use the default Snitz behaviour rather than try to change it. As HuwR says, its always open to abuse.
I was rather thinking about session variables that are already set in a portal environment? But it seems writing a cookie, and have it exire after POrtal logout is the best way to handle? Can I manipulate language in the cookie?
