I have a forum within a secure site, that users must already login. How/where can I add/change code to allow my existing username credentials to be passed when one enters the main forum page? I obviously don't want people to have to login again once they go to the forum. I have already integrated the user creation process, so when a new user is created for my site, their snitz member details are also inserted.
TIA

Do a search for posts by Kat. There is quite a bit of info about this topic already here.

If I understand those posts I must replace every instance of a cookie lookup with one that points to session variables that I'm already using. Which cookies are affected (so I can do a proper search for them!), and what kind of info is in them ie loginname, member id, password etc?
Thanks for any help

The cookies you are looking for are:
Request.Cookies(strUniqueID & "User")("Pword"))
Request.Cookies(strUniqueID & "User")("Name"))
It is a bit of a laborious job. They are both the same cookie but you are pulling out password and username(alias) from them individually.
You will also need to have a look at the DoCookies and ClearCookies routines in inc_functions.asp to make sure they aren't affected. I can't remember. It was ages since I did mine.

Park your mouse over the powered by graphic (or link) at the bottom of the page. The tooltip will tell your version.

Not sure if this will help or not. I was facing the situation. I have a protected area of my site and the usernames and passwords are stored in a SQL Server 7 Database.
What I did was, when a new user was created for my site, I added their username, password and email to the FORUM_MEMBERS. I Also set the cookies to website.
It seems to work fine.

Before I go any further, I think I need to let you know that I'm new at this, and what I'm doing might not be the right thing to do, but it works for me..
Well, I started out reading some articles about cookies.. and you can find that info here: http://www.cookiecentral.com/faq/
In section 3.2, they mentioned something about cookies for the entire site.. and that's what I did.. I changed the cookie to be the cookie of the entire site instead of just the forum.
I went to config.inc and change the strCookieURL value to:
strCookieURL = "/"
And that does it..
Hope it helps.
Ferdie.
