Hello,

Is it possible to have a page outside the forum that does the same as the login page in the forum ?
I want people to be able to login on a default.asp page just outside the folder "forum"

It should just need the login and pasword form fields on that page and once you enter then you go to the forum.

One solution would be for me that when you are not logged in on the forum you get the login page. (or when you loggout)

I hope someone has a solution for me. Thanks in advance.

Yes it is very easy just add your login form to a simple html page and direct the form to the check_user.asp page within the same diretory!

Im assuming you know how to build the form!

I have no idea on how to fix it,

Would you please be so kind to explain me how to do it?

It would  be great !!

Thanks

I've tried and tried but it doesn't work

Whatever... :)

The easiestway to do this will be as follows: copy everything between tags <form> and </form> in original login page and paste it into the external page at your site. That part of code looks as follows in my case (table tags deleted, cyrillic stuff changed to english):

---------------------------------------------------

<form method="post" name="frmLogin" action="login_user.asp?FID=0" onSubmit="return CheckForm();" onReset="return confirm('Form reset');">

User Name: <input type="text" name="name" size="15" maxlength="15" value="" />

password: <input type="password" name="password" size="15" maxlength="15" />

<input type="checkbox" name="AutoLogin" value="True" checked />Auto Login

<input type="checkbox" name="ActiveUsers" value="True" checked />Active users

<input type="hidden" name="sessionID" value="538760709" />
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Login" />

</form>

--------------------------------

Don't forget to mention the full URL (just in case :) to actual forum login page, and replace SessionID with the actual one for each user.

Good luck

wow i asked that lol good going on "Dreamweaver" wasnt awake heres how you can do this on your asp page modified the one above to work correctly

put this where you want 4 your login you can modify the tables if you like

<%
Dim Return

return = Request.ServerVariables("SCRIPT_NAME") & "?" & Request.ServerVariables("QUERY_STRING")
%>

    <form action="login_user.asp?return=<%=Return%>" name="frmLogin" method="post" onSubmit="return CheckForm();">
          <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">
           <tr>
            <td align="right" width="31%"><span class="text">Username: </span>&nbsp;</td>
            <td width="69%">
             <input type="text" name="name" size="15" maxlength="15" />
            </td>
           </tr>
           <tr>
            <td align="right" width="31%"><span class="text">Password: </span>&nbsp; </td>
            <td width="69%">
             <input type="password" name="password" size="15" maxlength="15" />
            </td>
           </tr>
           <tr>
            <td align="right" width="31%">&nbsp;</td>
            <td width="69%" class="text"><span class="text"><input type="hidden" name="AutoLogin" value="True" checked /></span></td>
           </tr>
           <tr>
            <td align="right" width="31%">&nbsp;</td>
            <td width="69%" class="text"><span class="text"><input type="hidden" name="ActiveUsers" value="true"></span></td>
           </tr>
           <tr>
            <td align="right" width="31%">&nbsp;</td>
            <td width="69%">
             <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Login" />
             <input type="hidden" name="sessionID" value="<% = Session.SessionID %>" />
            </td>
           </tr>
          </table>
          </form>

In order for this to work you need to add a line of code below in your login_user.asp at line at 165

Response.Redirect(request.querystring("return"))

will look like this once entered

    Response.Redirect("default.asp")
   Response.Redirect(request.querystring("return"))
   End If

I will try that right away.

Thanks in advance

I have a problem wako,

I did put your code on a asp page outside the forum:

I received an error message page not found.

I changed in the folder carestel the login_user.asp as you said.

I'm sorry to disturb you.

3BEPb:

I don't know what you mean with: ...and replace SessionID with the actual one for each user.

I didn't replace it. I entered the forum with the message: unsufficient permission.

Can you tell me exactly what I should replace please ?

Thanks !!

Use the Code I posted Only! in green above

try to adjust exactly where your login_user.asp is like so

<form action="carestel/login_user.asp?return=<%=Return%>" name="frmLogin" method="post"

WAKO:

Thanks a lot, it works fine now !!

The only thing I would like to ask is when the user logs out he returns to the loginpage outside the forum.

Many thanks !!

Or just do this open up log_off_user.asp and change this in red to where you want them to go

Response.Buffer = True

'Clear the forum cookie on the users system so the user is no longer logged in
Response.Cookies("Forum")("UID") = strLoggedInUsername & "LOGGED-OFF"
Response.Cookies("PrForum") = ""
Session("ViRead") = ""
Response.Cookies("LPM") = ""

'Reset Server Objects
Set rsCommon = Nothing
adoCon.Close
Set adoCon = Nothing

'Return to the forum
Response.Redirect "default.asp"

to this
