how do i make it so that when people log in, it takes them to the main portal page (ie: mysite.com/index.php) instead of directly into the forums? (ie: mysite.com/forums)

thanks in advance :glasses:

It should already take them to the index page if you followed the instructions in the install file and made the modifications to your member.php file. ;)

i made the proper modifications as instructed, but it doesnt seem to be working correctly..where can i start looking for this redirecting problem?

thanks tigga..

If you made that modification to member.php and uploaded the file then it will work as it's supposed to.

//header("Location: $url");

$url = str_replace("\"", "", $url);
eval("standardredirect(\"".gettemplate("redirect_l ogin")."\",\"\$url\");");
} else {
$bbuserinfo=getuserinfo($userid);
eval("standardredirect(\"".gettemplate("redirect_l ogin")."\",\"\$url\");");
}

does this look right?...should it be double like that?..looks like the code inputs twice... :bored: i just went over the proceedures to see if everything is correct in member.php...but im alittle confused about the code showing up twice here...

Yes, that's the way it should look. It's not doing anything twice as there is an } else { statement before the last line.

i appreciate your help tigga, but what else can i look at cause it doesnt appear to be directing them to the portal after sign in..thanks

If you'd like to PM me with the FTP info and url to your site I'll take a look and see what the problem is.

..as of for the second part for the member.php editing, does this look correct?

$session['sessionhash']=md5(uniqid(microtime()));
$session['dbsessionhash']=$session['sessionhash'];
$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO session (sessionhash,userid,host,useragent,lastactivity,st yleid) VALUES ('".addslashes($session['sessionhash'])."','0','".addslashes($session['host'])."','".addslashes($session['useragent'])."','".time()."','0')");
vbsetcookie("sessionhash",$session['sessionhash'],0);

eval("standardredirect(\"".gettemplate("error_cook ieclear")."\",\"\$url\");");

will do :cheeky:
