login area on non-vb page

[hitmanuk2k]

i want a login area on a non-vb page. but i dont just want the login box, once logged in i want it to display the:

"Welcome X Users.
You last visited...."

How can you use if conditions like you'd need to on a non-vb page?

bump.

You can just use vB's conditionals by requiring global.php.

Add:

PHP Code:

require_once('./global.php'); 


At the top of your file.

If you're using an HTML file, ofcourse use

PHP Code:

<?php require_once('./global.php'); ?>

Hope that helps.

you will have to chdir to your forum directory before calling global.php

[hitmanuk2k]

I'd appriciate showing how to do this as my knowledge is limited. The forum directory is /forum

[Marco van Herwaarden]

PHP Code:

chdir("/path2yourserver");

<a href="http://www.pesinsight.com/indexdev.php" target="_blank">http://www.pesinsight.com/indexdev.php</a> - more progress... but still, not working? if you look at code you can see global is called for...

well, actually you cant see it when you view source, but i definitley have it at the top before the html

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Mae sure no http header is send before the global.php is being called.

OK well I give up its causing all sorts of errors, maybe ill try and get it working further down the line.

for now can someone just give me a simple way of sending those who log in on the main non-vb page to the forum home. at the moment they are returned the non-vb page.
