Splendid. Working perfectly. Many thanks.

I really enjoy this hack, thank you for offering it.

well, I have an issue that is not sooo important maybe.

I have created my own pages within the forums directory and everything went just great.

Now when I created some pages in the parent directory and pulled the information there everything went fine too EXCEPT when I look at the pages with Internet Explorer.
In IE it does not show the welcome box correct. in the external page I seem to be not logged in.

Strange is thatI can use the login box for logging in and as I have set a redirector it will log me in and redirect me tothe forumhome.
I am logged in there then, but when I enter the external pages again I seem to be logged out =(

In Firefox everything works perfect though =) so it must be one of the issues of IE again...

anyone an idea? Internet Explorer is the whip to hurt Web Developers...

Guys, I've now read the first and last twenty pages of this article and still cannot find a solution to the problem I am encountering. Bear in mind: you're not talking to an expert coder but I know how to work the occasional miracle.

Ok: this is my case:

Forum root: [domain]/knowledge_share/upload/index.php

Now I'd like to add a page, named 'index.php' and created through this article, two levels higher, effectively creating a home page:

[domain]/index.php

Template: achieved through vb admincp
'test.php' as configured and described on first page of this article, now called 'index.php' and uploaded to appropriate location, including following change:

/REQUIRE BACK-END
chdir ('/home/[domain]/public.html/knowledge_share/upload');
require('./global.php');

What changes must I make to what's now called 'index.php' to make this affair work?

Cheers to anyone willing to shed her/his wisdom onto this...

PS: If discussions on this stuff escaped my attention, it's not because of lack of effort on my part. Simply didn't see it. Didn't run first-off to the 'Reply To Thread' box without doing some searching......

Thanks a lot !!! For all ...

Anyone?

Anyone know how to do a login form? Everytime I use the example and use the login, it doesn't work. It just reloads the page.

Thanks for this mod, took me a while to 'get' what to do but now I got it and its easy :)

It doesn't work for me.

It shows me:

You probably deleted an ' when editing the file.

I have 45 pages created this way and they all work. However, I can not get them to recognize permsission. I don't want unregistered users to have access, but everything I've tried to manipulate the code doesn't work. It seems unregistered users can still browse to these pages no matter what I do.

I created my php file and called it 'test' and configured according to the hack specs.

I went to ACP>Style & Templates>Style Manager>Clicked drop down on my style>Selected Add New template.

I added the code the hack specified and named the new template custom_test

The page is now accessible with this link http://www.yourdomain.com/misc.php?d...&template=test

as is all my other pages I created the same exact way
http://www.yourdomain.com/misc.php?d...template=test1
http://www.yourdomain.com/misc.php?d...template=test2

and so on and so on.

Again, all the pages work fine. I just need to know how to make them permission based to block unregistered users from being able to browse to them.
