I'm trying to get the universal login mod to work. I tried it in the past and could never get it to work and thought I'd revisit it but I still cannot get it to work.
Has anyone ever had this mod operational? If so, what modifications did you make to get it to work?<

I've never used the mod itself because of the need for all the forum includes but I do have a custom universal login up & ruuning on both my sites. What problems are you encountering when you attempt to install it?

It does work, I use it in two sites, but like shaggy said requires a bunch of forum includes including inc_header.asp which has login functionality and therefore shows up twice. I recall having to create a modifified inc_header.asp and a lot of customization on the pages that I used it. I could share some of that code when I get home tonight, just drop me an email if you want it.

One of the quickest ways to acheive this (as I have done with MeTV) is to create your own form and have it post to login.asp. No need for all the additional includes nor any custom ASP, just the basic HTML for the form.

Yes, got it after your advice. The inc_header.asp was very devilish. I eventually just manually parsed through every line to figure it out after reading your advice.
The next question is what is the variable of the numerical userid?
I also created a modified inc_header. Essentially, I added a few lines to inc_header_short and now it's working.
Thanks for the support!
Shaggy, that's interesting advice but do you think it would work for my purpose which is: I'm hiding content for members only. If I send them to the login page of the forum, it will redirect to the forum. But, I agree, if it was just a universal login to the forum, posting it to that page would be the better option.
All my members are complaining about the multiple logins, and I feel their pain. I hate registering for all the different sections.

If you pass the URI of the page through you're logging in from, login.asp should redirect you to that page. Have a look at the hidden inputs of thr form in login.asp to see what they're called.
As for the MEMBER_ID, if you're calling chkUser in any of your non-forum files or their includes, it's assigned to a variable called MemberID. You'll need to set cookies to website for it to work. To check if the varibale has been assigned, try a resopnse.write on it while logged in. If it's not being assigned, have a look in inc_header.asp to see how the mlev variable is assigned using a call to chkUser. Oh, you'll also have to make sure that MemberID is declared outside the chkUser function.
