I'm guessing someone has already done this. Can you point to where? If not, can anyone code this?

On my board, we allow postings by Unregistered users.

All 3 examples probably require the same logic, but anyway:

Case 1: You're at a threadlist, you're logged in, but you decide you want to either post a reply as Unregistered, or you want to log-in under a different screen name. So, log-out, but return to the same threadlist.

Case 2: You're logged in, reading posts, and before you reply, you decide you want to either switch usernames or reply unregistered (or start a new thread as unregistered name). Log-out, and return to the page of posts (showthread).

Case 3: You're logged in, you hit reply, you're at the message-compose screen, you decide you want to post under an unregistered name. Log-out, return to the message-compose screen.

Anyone have this code already written? Thank you.

You can probably change most of this in the templates.

I am not a coder, yet have immersed myself in vB templates over past 3 weeks. I have been all over them and done all I can. I have searched forums exhaustedly, I have asked questions in both How do I and "Hack Requests" sections. In short, if you know how to do it, by all means please share me some answers. I don't know how to code PHP and will not experiment with my php files -- that is not my strength. That's where I need the help.

Here's my site:
www.theflow.com/forums

Use this testname:

username: test
password: test

**2** Want to have a login and logout box on every forum. And when a user logs in or out using this login, I want that vB redirects him to that forum, not the list of forums. Can I do this ?

Logging in tries to do this.
Logging out will require you to hack the logout function in member.php to redirect dynamically.

**6** A "login"-button which changes to "logout" if a member is logged in? --
Modify your header template to contain the variable $loginlogout where you want this image and place this in your phpinclude template:

if ($bbuserinfo[userid]) {
$loginlogout = "<a href=(...)><img src="login.gif"(...)>";
} else {
$loginlogout = "<a href=(...)><img src="logout.gif"(...)>";
}

**7** Creating a Login template? I created a template for a login page that was basically the same page you get when you try to post something without being logged in (error_nopermission). But I don't know how to call it from anywhere. I tried adding

to index.php and then trying index.php?action=loginuser, but that didn't work.
Can anyone tell me how to do this?

--
Ed Sullivan,vBulletin Developer: add this just before an if ($action=="blah") { line:

Then call action=YOURACTION

-------------------------------------------------------------------
**8** I know there is a login option at the bottom right, but would it be possible to get one on a separate page?

Kier, vBulletin Developer:
Save the following as something.htm, edit the path/to/forums/ so that it points to the member.php in your forums directory, and upload:

-------------------------------------------------------------------
**9** How do I get the same details (login option, Birthdate, Private messages, etc) that appear on the index page of the forum to appear on every page?
-- You will have to take the code for those features out of index.php and put them in global.php

I'm still looking for a solution. Thank you.
