Forum Login BOX

[hqlman]

Hi guys im not a pro with coding so pls be nice,

Ive made a html homepage for my site, and i have integrated a login box on this page for the forums, ive managed to code the box so that when the user enters their username and password they are logged in and redirected to the forum index, but if the user returns to the homepage, they still see the login box ,

I need help with the coding, such that if a user is logged in and they return to the homepage they see that they are logged in and unread messages etc exactly like we have on vbulletin forum, and maybe a log out button too,

Below is the code i have used, pls tell me what else i need to do,
Thanks in advance

<form action="forums/login.php?do=login" method="post" onsubmit="md5hash(vb_login_password, vb_login_md5password, vb_login_md5password_utf, 0)">
															  <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="3" border="0">
		<tr>
			<td class="smallfont"><label for="navbar_username">User Name</label></td>
			<td><input type="text" class="bginput" style="font-size: 11px" name="vb_login_username" id="navbar_username" size="17" accesskey="u" tabindex="101" value="User Name" onfocus="if (this.value == 'User Name') this.value = '';" /></td>
			<td class="smallfont" nowrap="nowrap">&nbsp;</td>
		</tr>
 
		<tr>
			<td class="smallfont"><label for="navbar_password">Password</label></td>
			<td><input type="password" class="bginput" style="font-size: 11px" name="vb_login_password" id="navbar_password" size="17" tabindex="102" /></td>
			<td>&nbsp;</td>
		</tr>
		</table>
		<span class="smallfont">
		<input name="submit" type="submit" class="button" accesskey="s" tabindex="104" title="Enter your username and password in the boxes provided to login, or click the 'register' button to create a profile for yourself." value="Log in" />
		<input type="checkbox" name="cookieuser" value="1" tabindex="103" id="cb_cookieuser_navbar" accesskey="c" /><label for="cb_cookieuser_navbar">Remember Me?</label></span>
		<!--<a href="forums/register.php" class="style2">REGISTER</a>-->
		  <input type="button" onClick="parent.location='forums/register.php'" value="Register" />
		  
		  
		    <input type="hidden" name="s" value="" />
		    <input type="hidden" name="do" value="login" />	
		    <input type="hidden" name="url" value="/forums/" />	
		    <input type="hidden" name="vb_login_md5password" />
		  
		    <input type="hidden" name="vb_login_md5password_utf" />
		  <tr><td>&nbsp;</td>
		</tr> 
														</form>

[Mr-Moo]

There are already actually a couple things on the forum about this, try using some of the search in the future.

Here are two examples:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...ighlight=login
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...t=login&page=2

By the way - Us coders are here to help, we are not always mean

[Taragon]

Also this http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showp...7&postcount=17 definitely works.

Demo: http://die16-clan.com/forum/

[hqlman]

Thanks for the help guys, i did use the search bar and found the programs uve shown me, but only 1 works to my requirements which i couldnt get to work at first but now i have
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...ighlight=login

I still need a bit more help, after logging in the user sees




I would like to add some more details like we can see on a vbulletin:


I would like to have those notification in the empty space i have on my homepage as shown in the first picture, but i do not know the code required and where it should go,

thanks in advance

[Mr-Moo]

You have to copy the functions from the styles in your navbar to that location. For example, look at the navbar file and look for the private messages code and copy that over. Keep tinkering around with this until you have your desired results.

Hope that helps!

[hqlman]

Hi, Thanks for your reply, im not very good with this, so below is my code from the navbar and i cannot find anything to do with the PM system,

Could you please point it out for me, and tell me how i could use it,

Many thanks

[Mr-Moo]

Out of the code you provided, this was displayed

PHP Code:

<if condition="$show['pmmainlink']"><tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="private.php$session[sessionurl_q]" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[private_messages]</a></td></tr></if> 


That is the code you should be placing into your HTML page, however you will run into some issues since that is not HTML, but PHP mix.

For your reference, here is my PM information from my style:

PHP Code:

<!-- breadcrumb, login, pm info -->
<table class="thead" style="height: 30px; width: 988px; margin-bottom: 4px;">
<tr width="988px">
<!-- <div style="width: 988px;"> -->
    <td class="alt1" style="background: #e70015 url(http://exomagic.com/forum/images/exomagic/misc/main_bg.png) repeat-x top left; padding: 2px; width: 988px;">
        <if condition="is_array($navbits)">
            <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%">
            <tr width="100%">
                <td><a href="#" onclick="history.back(1); return false;"></a></td>
                <td>&nbsp;</td>
                <td width="100%"><span class="navbar"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="1">$vboptions[bbtitle]</a></span> $navbits[breadcrumb]</td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
            <td class="navbar" style="font-size:10pt; padding-top:1px" colspan="3"><if condition="$_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST'">&raquo;<else />&raquo;</if> <strong>$navbits[lastelement]</strong></td>
            </tr>
            </table>            
        <else />
            <div class="navbar" style="font-size:10pt"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="1"></a> <strong>$vboptions[bbtitle]</strong></div>

[hqlman]

thanks for the reply, your code seems to be a lot more complexed than mine,

I had changed th homepage to php so I could use the php script from the add on, have u had a look at the add on script? I am not 100% sure exactly where I'll have to put the code you located in the given filed of the ad on:

This for ure help

[Mr-Moo]

If you insure the globals.php and functions files are included it should display properly.

You also need to display the template

Not sure which script you are using, can you post the link?

[hqlman]

This is the script im using, the author describes that you can add things to your login box, but there;s no support, im glad there's still people like you around
