login box for non-vB pages

[Ruth]

i need to do the following in non-vB pages:

(1) if the user already logged use their cookies and display a welcome $username + logout link

(2) if the user is not logged use the login form before displaying the page content.

(3) When the user logs in successfully, plant a cookie.

appreciate your help ...

thanks in advance

I need help with this too. I have gone through all the nonvb login box posts and none of them have helped - I really can't see why this is so hard. Please help some one.

start by including global.php, if your above the forum root do a chdir('./vb/') then include('global.php') then just do a if($bbuserinfo[userid] != 0) {DISPLAY WELCOME;} else {DISPLAY LOGIN BOX}

just copy the code from the templates to the page

Thanks i'll give that a go now.

Mr e,

I have put this into my index.php file on my www.mysite.com/index.php:



Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------



and then further down I've added:



Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.

Everythings working fine except I get this at the top of my index file:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/marulat/public_html/lib/mtlibrary.lib:19) in /home/marulat/public_html/forum/admin/functions.php on line 1652

There is a thread which explains the header errors in the hacking hints and tips forum. You might want to take a read of it :):

Thanks for the link miSt! I think the offending code is:



Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.

This little piece of code is also used in the top of my page for another script:


Code:

perfect all done. Thanks a million everybody for you help!

oh one more thing:

Where I have my login box include, it leave a HUGE gap above it. any ideas?

when i try this i keep getting the following

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: gettemplate() in /home/****/public_html/overallfoot.php on line 55

But why only on that template? the ones before it worked fine.

line 55 is:
eval("\$logincode = \"".gettemplate('webwelcome_logincode')."\";");

Must the index have a PHP extension?

Is there another extension that can be used that will also work with php? IE *.asp or something?
