Morning, All...
I am having terrible trouble understanding how to make logins work from outside the forum.
I just want to provide a usenrame and password box and have the person get sent to the forum on login.
On this off-forum page, I am running the Links Managers and Slash mods, so I already have a bunch of files included on that page, like:
<!--#INCLUDE FILE="forum/config.asp" -->
<!--#INCLUDE FILE="forum/inc_functions.asp" -->
I have done a search on "login" and read through the posts, all of which say "this has been explained hundred of times."
Except I can't find the explaining bit :o(
Can somebody tell me how to make this work?
Thanks in advance,
--Bri

Is this post in the wrong forum? Would I get more help in Help: Mod Implementation because of the Links Manager and Slash bits?
Sorry, I'm just desperate to get this finally finished, that's all :o)

DarlinBri,
Like you might have noticed, this site has a logon box on the non-forum pages.
I only added this today. Once I'm sure that work ok I'll post a link to it here.
One thing you have to make sure is that the cookie-mode is set to "website"

Thank you :o)))))
I'll be waiting with desperate anxiety to try to make this work. I did set my cookies to website, having read as much as I could understand in some other posts.
THANK YOU!

I'm interested in how you did this Gor. I want to do exactly what you have done.
Thanks, and I'll work on my patience.

I am also one very interested in doing this exact thing as it would fit into the format of my site very nicely. BTW, this is my 100th post, hehehe

Thanks, JGonier, but that doesn't really work. I had tried that already. I enter my info in, and it says I've logged on, then takes me back to the front page and asks where the logon window doesn't say "you are logged on as steve", but still asks for uname and pass.

You would also have to use the include file statements for that page for config.asp, functions.asp and I believe inc_top_short.asp as well as change cookies setting to website.
I am not sure about the include statements though. I am still playing with it myself.
Sincerely,
JGonier |

Jgonier is correct. You need to make sure cookies is set to website. You then need to leave the site you want the cookie to work on, delete all cookies for the site, go back to the site and login again. It should work then...

What do you mean when you say, quote:
"You would also have to use the include file statements for that page for config.asp, functions.asp and I believe inc_top_short.asp
Since my forum is a single DB but two interfaces but on the same server, I set the cookies on both of them to the website, so you log in at one and you are at the other. It will log you in but won't say you are afterwards. Thanks!

sr_erick,
Since you are running two forums on your site, I do not believe that the method used on this site will work for you. Because you are running two forums from the same site you may have to find some way to modify the code to look for one cookie if login=true for one forum and look for the other cookie if login=true for that one.
However, I am not experienced in ASP programming at all (just tweeking it), so I have no idea of how to go about that.
You may just want to look at the posting I made here at this link, http://forum.snitz.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=9617&FORUM_ID=6&CAT_ID=5&Topic_Title=HuwR%2C+Richard%2C+Davio%2C+Anyone%3F&Forum_Title=Code+Support%3A+ASP+%28Non%2DForum+Related%29 to use as a temporary fix to a login solution. You could set it up to login to access each forum, however you would still have to re-login to your forum once you got to the forum.
Sincerely,
JGonier |

O....K, Now I am lost. Has anyone done this before with a dual interface forum?

Can't I just set the cookie to the site on the forum for that site? Then on the other forum, just set it to the forum. Would't that work the same way as having a single forum? Thanks!
