Outside of Forums Check for Forum Cookie
 

I have my site at mydomain.com and my forums at mydomain.com/forums

I want the information at mydomain.com to be only viewable to the people that are logged in. What cookie should I check for and include on every page to see if the user is logged in or not?

Is this mydomain.com a portal page or just a regular html/php/whatever page?

It's just a regular php page.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone have any ideas? I got most of it right I think, but I want your input.

try this..

chdir("./forum/");
include_once('./global.php');
chdir("../");

if ( !$bbuserinfo['userid'] ) {
print "you gets no love";
} else {
print "content content content!!!"
}

I need this too but also a check if the user is a member. What do I have to add?

Harry, I have been working on this for a while tonight, it's already going on 6am over here. I'm off to bed, but I got it to work finally, I will post the code in the morning.

I will be patient :-)

did that code snippet i posted up work? you'll obviously have to modify it to fit your use
