Thanks.

Im at work at present so I havent had a chance to try this yet.
It may or may not work, and make sure you back up your login_inc.php first.

Find

PHP Code:


		
			
// Display login boxes + button

// You can style this with html or CSS as normal if desired.

echo"

    <form action=\"".$forumpath."/login.php\" method=post onsubmit=md5hash(vb_login_password,vb_login_md5password,vb_login_md5password_utf)>

    <script type=text/javascript src=\"".$forumpath."/clientscript/vbulletin_md5.js\"></script>

    User Name:<br>

    <input name=vb_login_username type=text id=navbar_username onfocus=if (this.value == '$vbphrase[username]') this.value = ''; size=10 />

            

    <br>Password:<br>

    <input name=vb_login_password type=password size=10 />

    </br>

        

    <label for=cb_cookieuser_navbar><input name=cookieuser type=checkbox id=cb_cookieuser_navbar value=1 checked=checked />

    Remember Me?<br /></label>

    

        

    <input type=submit title=$vbphrase[enter_username_to_login_or_register] value=\"Log In\" />

        

    <input type=hidden name=s value=$session[sessionhash] />

    <input type=hidden name=do value=login />        

    <input type=hidden name=vb_login_md5password />

    <input type=hidden name=vb_login_md5password_utf />



    </form>

";

And replace with

PHP Code:


		
			
// Display login boxes + button

// You can style this with html or CSS as normal if desired.

echo"

    <form action=\"".$forumpath."/login.php\" method=post onsubmit=md5hash(vb_login_password,vb_login_md5password,vb_login_md5password_utf)>

    <script type=text/javascript src=\"".$forumpath."/clientscript/vbulletin_md5.js\"></script>

    User Name:<br>

    <input name=vb_login_username type=text id=navbar_username onfocus=if (this.value == '$vbphrase[username]') this.value = ''; size=10 />

            

    <br>Password:<br>

    <input name=vb_login_password type=password size=10 />

    </br>

        

    <input type=submit title=$vbphrase[enter_username_to_login_or_register] value=\"Log In\" />

        

    <input type=hidden name=s value=$session[sessionhash] />

    <input type=hidden name=do value=login />

    <input type=hidden name=cookieuser id=cb_cookieuser_navbar value=1 checked=checked />    

    <input type=hidden name=vb_login_md5password />

    <input type=hidden name=vb_login_md5password_utf />



    </form>

";

It seems to be working properly right now. Thanks!

This is my situation. I installed the Simple -version on my forum and it was working perfectly. No problems what-so-ever, things were going as smooth as I could hope.

Then I decided to setup a test forum, and proceeded by creating a testvb folder, protected it with htaccess and installed the test forum along with the Simple login extension. This is where the problems begun.

According to vB instructions, the 'Path to Save Cookies' setting (Cookies and HTTP Header options) must be set to the directory of individual forums, if one runs more than one forum on the same domain. In my case, this meant that I set the path on my live forum to '/forums/' and on my test forums to '/testvb/forums/'.

This, of course, meant that the Simple login extension stopped working on my live forums since the 'Path to Save Cookies' setting should be set to '/'. If, on the other hand, I leave the live forums setting to '/', then I am not able to log on to my test forums at all, while the extension works perfectly on the live forums.

Does anyone see a way around this problem, or am I just out of luck. Is it possible to use this extension simultaneously and successfully on test forum thats running on the same domain with the 'live forum'.

Really cool hack, but i can't use it because i have a random banner / header script going on, and the..

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php 

    chdir('/path/to/your/forums');  

    require_once('/path/to/your/forums/global.php');   

    require_once('/path/to/login_inc.php'); 

?>

Makes it no longer work :(

Dammit, any fix ? :)

Maybe.
Can you post the first dozen lines or so of your page so we can have a look.

Confirmed working on vB 3.6 Beta 1

Hi bill,

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php 

// Random Picture v0.1 

// (c) Guido Faecke, GF-Data Inc. 



  $pic_dir = 'images/banners/'; 

   

  $counter = 0; 



  $d = dir($pic_dir); 

  while($entry=$d->read()) { 

    if ($entry != "." && $entry != "..") { 

      $array[] = $entry; 

      $counter++; 

    } 

  } 

  $d->close(); 

  $counter--; 

  $which = rand(0, $counter); 

?>

Have you tried something like

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

chdir('/path/to/your/forums');   

require_once('/path/to/your/forums/global.php');    

// Random Picture v0.1 

// (c) Guido Faecke, GF-Data Inc. 



  $pic_dir = 'images/banners/'; 

   

  $counter = 0; 



  $d = dir($pic_dir); 

while($entry=$d->read()) { 

    if ($entry != "." && $entry != "..") { 

      $array[] = $entry; 

      $counter++; 

    } 

  } 

  $d->close(); 

  $counter--; 

  $which = rand(0, $counter); 

?>

<? echo '<img src="'.$pic_dir.$array[$which].'" border="0">'; ?>



//whatever stuff you like goes here.

<?php  

// And we put this where we want the login box

    require_once('/path/to/your/login_inc.php');  

?>

I don't really understand that, the random image script goes inside a table, and the php code your supposed to put at the top of the page won't work if it's in the table too, right? :s

Ok, I thought that what you posted was at the top of the page.

Correct, my code wont work if its not at the very top of the page (before any output anyhow).

I suspect that your banner script may be broken because of the directory change in my script.
What was the exact error message you got?
You can change back to current directory after my script if you like.
I will post the code to do that as soon as I remember how...
