If you use my Tutorial on Quick and Dirty SIte Integration, it may help.  My method would allow you to use almost any code that works in the forum directory on any other page of your website.

Note that this method is "quick and dirty."  There are much more efficient ways of doing this.  But if you are in a hurry and want something to build upon, then this is for you.

I have used it on my site, and it allows me to have a universal login on every page among other things.

I thought this wouldn't be to difficult, the problem I run into is that my home page and other pages are not in the same directory as my forum.  Anyone know of an easy way to do this?

1.  In your own login page(s), once you have a successful login just set the cookie

Response.Cookies("WWF")("UID") = "myusername759R1B9394"

Note:

  1. WWF is the strCookieName, so change to yours
  2. UPdate the cookie if you want to set its expiry, eg Response.Cookies(strCookieName).Expires = DateAdd("yyyy", 1, Now())
  3. OPtional extras are Response.Cookies(strCookieName)("NS") = "0" if you want to set their "Not be Shown" in the Active User List (0=off,1=on)
  4. Set A session variable for Last Visit  - Session("dtmLastVisit") = CDate(Request.Cookies(strCookieName)("LTVST")) and then update the cookie for next visit with  Response.Cookies(strCookieName)("LTVST") = CDbl(Now())

Once you've done this, you will be automatically "logged in"

2.

For the last 5 POsted messages, you just need to query the database as per the WWF string and place that in your ASP home page]]> Thu, 11 Dec 2003 15:11:33 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/login-from-different-page_topic8011_post40817.html#40817 <![CDATA[Login From Different Page : I&#039;ve just migrated everything...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/login-from-different-page_topic8011_post40807.html#40807 Author: cardsfan
