Hi Everyone,
I am setting up a new Snitz Forum and would like to host the login form externally (on a different site). I have no problems POSTing data to the forum from the external site; however, when I get the login successful screen, the "Back to Forum" and META refresh take me back to the external site. I would rather not modify the forum code. Is there any way to pass an additional variable on submit to set this redirect so it is not dynamically created from the referer.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Add a hidden field named "target" to your form and use the URI you would like to redirect to as the value. Note that if you want to use a relative URI, it must be relative to your forum's directory not the page your login form is on.

Unfortunately, this is not working. It is still redirecting back to to the external login page. I added
<input type=hidden name=target value=http://some-url.com/forum/Default.asp>
Anything else I should be adding?
Thanks again.

OK... So I am grasping at straws here... I have set the variable in my form and this is not working. So, I downloaded a copy of the code for my distribution of the Snitz software, cracked open login.asp and found the following line:
strTarget = trim(chkString(request("target"),"SQLString"))
Should this not be:
strTarget = trim(chkString(request.form("target"),"SQLString"))
Your help would be so appreciated.
Thanks.

| Unless I'm mistaken, the target is passed as a form value in some areas and a query string value in others, so its not a mistake (if I'm understanding right... the last few days have me a little worn down so it could just be either a fuzzy mind or the Miller Genuine Draft) |
