Hi all:
I have wwf for 4 years, now with v8, and my forum is part of a large portal that makes a lot of use of members accounts.
Before i added a cookie when the user logged in so it stored the username in a cookie with another name.
Now when i add the code "Response.Cookies(strCookieName)("U_NAME") = strLoggedInUsername" in register.asp, after Response.Cookies(strCookieName)("UID") = strUserCode, and then log in, no cookie is created.
When i try to retrieve the cookies content through a request.cookie, nothing appears.
How can i store the members usernames inside wwf's cookie so i can use it throughout the portal?

Version 8 has a built in member API.
Edit in nootepad the file functions/functions_member_API.asp to find more details and how to enable this feature.

thats great for someone tho has a loggin system other than wwf's one, which is not my case, as i converted my login system to wwf only a long time ago.
With last version i just added a line in register.asp to create another cookie with username, but its not working in this 8 version.
I added this line:
Response.Cookies(strCookieName)("U_NAME")= strLoggedInUsername |
after this code in register.asp:
'Write the cookie with the name Forum containing the value UserID number
Response.Cookies(strCookieName)("UID") = strUserCode |
but its not keeping it in the cookes. How can i store the username in a cookie so i can use all over the portal?
Thanks
