As the common.asp file is included in every page if the user is not logged in they will be redirected to the login page no matter what.

The only problem is that the login page also includes the file common.asp, which means that before the user has a chance to login it will redirect to itself, getting caught in an infinite loop.

What you need to do is make it so that the login page can not submit to itself, maybe making a second copy of the common.asp file without the modification, then edit the login_user.asp page and change the include link at the top to the common.asp file to the new un-modified copy you have made of the common.asp file.

Also, for this to work in perfect shape, every time someone logs out, I will need to redirect them to login_user.asp, instead of default.asp... how can I do this?]]> Fri, 19 May 2006 22:03:03 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/login-screen-before-forum-list_topic19935_post107382.html#107382 <![CDATA[Login screen before Forum list? : &gt; If blnGuest Then Response...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/login-screen-before-forum-list_topic19935_post107380.html#107380 Author: srta2

That seems like a good idea
 
> Although you will need to make it so that login_user.asp doesn't keep redirecting to itself
When do you think this may happen? As soon as I log in, I won't be a Guest anymore and I won't be redirected, right?
 
Do you think you can help me a little bit to make this work?
 
Thanks a lot Smile

Atually you do have a point.

You could try adding to the common.asp file the following:-

If blnGuest Then Response.Redirect("login_user.asp")

Although you will need to make it so that login_user.asp doesn't keep redirecting to itself, otherwise it will get into a loop and never load the page.

Maybe even worth looking at making a standalone version of the login page, to do this.

Mmm, 2 thoughts:
 
Is it possible to disable Guests at all?
 
Is it possible to make login_user.asp the main page, instead of default.asp? In a way such that if someone tries to access any other page, they are redirected to login_user.asp if they are not logged in?
 
Thanks

Then you will either have to modify the code and create a completely new login system, or look into something like having a password on the directory the forum is in so a password needs to be entered to get to that section of the site.]]> Fri, 19 May 2006 18:26:47 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/login-screen-before-forum-list_topic19935_post107361.html#107361 <![CDATA[Login screen before Forum list? : Actually, I do not want Guests...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/login-screen-before-forum-list_topic19935_post107349.html#107349 Author: srta2

Actually, I do not want Guests (or non-registered users) to have access to the forum at all, I don't want them to ever reach default.asp or any of the other pages. When anyone tries to access the forum's URL, I want them to be prompted with something like login_user.asp.
 
Thanks

> In version 8 you can setup forums that Guest account (non-logged in users) don't have read access to forums
I did this part
 
> then setup the forum so that it is hidden if the user doesn't have access to the forum.
How do I do this one?

In version 8 you can setup forums that Guest account (non-logged in users) don't have read access to forums, then setup the forum so that it is hidden if the user doesn't have access to the forum.]]> Fri, 19 May 2006 09:48:09 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/login-screen-before-forum-list_topic19935_post107310.html#107310
