I need help with a PHP script. I would like users to be able to login to the forums from a non-vB page. If someone could make a script for me or show me how to do this, it would be much appreciated. I know HTML, so i can do the layout myself. I have tried one of the hacks posted here, but it didn't work. I have include what I would like it to look like below.

If user is not logged in:

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

Welcome Guest! Click Here (http:///) to register or login below.

Username: |--------|
Password: |--------|

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

And if a user is logged in:

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

Wecome back Username. Click here (http:///) to go to the forums or click here (http:///) to logout.

You have # of Private Messages new messages. Click here (http:///) to read them!

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

Thanks

Check the released hacks forum. Search for login. It's there already.

this should work, don't forget to fill in your own path to your board directory in the chdir() routine.

I tried the above script. HOwever, I want to use it with cookies, and on a non vB page. The login works fine, but when i got back to the page where I want the login, it doesn't have my username. It still acts like I am not logged in.

If you have included the script with the url instead of the path to the file, that's probably why it doesn't work.

don't forget to set your cookie domain .mydomain.com (notice the first dot) in your board options

I was able to do this myself ! Surprised as I was !
though I cannot figure out how to give en error message back if password or username are not correct.
anyone can point this out please?
