login form

[meowmeow]

in which file can i find the form thats used to login when you enter the index.php?
I'm trying to modify this and I cant find where it is! I hope i've explained what i'm looking for!

is it in vbulletin-style.xml....
problem is its 13000+ lines of code!!! :surprised:

[Zachery]

the .xml file is only uised to IMPORT the data, all templates are stored within the Template system

AdminCP > Styles & Templates > style manager > click on << >> > search for the templates :

so the login code is not present in any of the PHP files?

I now have a user which has logged in (not to VB) and wants to access the forum without having to login again.

should i write a script that gives the user a cookie the same as VB would (but looks complicated, there are 20 functions where there is one vbsetcookie or another i have no idea which to use.)

or write a form in my script that would behave like the login form in VB?

I dont think I have a clue on either of the 2 ways....

I think if i put a button inmy script that send username and password to the same file & with the same "name" as the VB login form VB should do the rest no?

[Zachery]

No, NOT files, all templates are in the DATABASE.

ok,
what about the error messages..
if say for example i want to modify the error message when the user logs in incorrectly!
I cant seem to find it...
I followed things thru from
login.phprint_standard_error -> functions print_standard_error() -> functions standard_error

i imagine its in a template but if i search thru the admin panel error_badlogin it doesnt find anything

Those are in phrases. Every piece of text in vB3 is in the form of a phrase.
