    Posted: 07 October 2009 at 11:43am
Hello. I was wondering if I could get some help on a problem I am having.
 
I am trying to create a classifieds section that uses the forums sign-in functionality. I am basically making it a members only area so that login is being checked and if the user is not logged in redirects back to the login / registration pages.
 
My classifieds page has the following code:
 
<!--#include file="../forum/common.asp" -->
<%
If lngLoggedInUserID = 2 then
   Call closeDatabase()
   response.redirect("" & RootLevel & "forum/login_user.asp?returnURL=classifieds.asp")
End If
Call closeDatabase()
%> 
 
One issues is that my classifieds page is not within the forum. I was wondering if I could just create a redirct.asp page (within the forum directory) that will redirct the user to whatever section of my site they came from. I plan to have other areas (members only) later.
 
As of now the code above does redirct to a login page, but after logging in I am still redirected back to the default.asp within the forum and I want to go back to the classifieds section.
 
I have searched the forum and tried other suggestions but so far none have worked so I thought I would start a new thread.
 
Thoughts?
 
Thanks in advance!

Scotty has nailed this one down already

See this thread:

Then go get the mod:

Then show some love for Scotty.

Take care,
Shaun

Thanks Shaun!
 
I have already done the items listed on the mods page. My page does correctly redirect to the login / incorrect permissions page and logs in but it doesn't return to my new page. Instead it returns to the default page of the forum. This is the problem I'm trying to fix. The thread that you directed me to seems to end before they found an answer to that problem.
 
By looking at the code it looks like you might be able to do something like this:
 
response.redirect("" & RootLevel & "forum/login_user.asp?returnURL=classifieds.asp")
 
but this doesn't work.
 
Ideas?

What you will need to do is around line 108 of the file login_user_test.asp is add in some extra code like below:-

If strReturnURL = "classifieds.asp" Then strReturnURL = "../classifieds.asp"


You will need to change the part in red above to the path to the classified.asp page on your website.

This has not been tested, but it should work, or at least something like this will work.

Thank you Shaun for the appreciation but my Darsey has already got the Member only part working.

Unfortunately Web Wiz Forums will only redirect within the forum directory for security reasons, so I have not added the redirect part to my tutorial, I will add a note regarding it though.

That would be great Scotty! Thanks!
 
Would this work? What if I redirected to an asp page within the forum folder (ex Members_Only_Redirect). I can pass that asp page a variable through the querystring telling it which page to redirect it to outside of the forum.... would this work since this new page wouldn't have any of your security includes in it?
 
Just a thought...

Yes that would work by crating a redirect file within the forums files.

The reason for not allowing paths outside the forum root is that a hacker could use that to send the user to a malicious script or page.
