I know this has been asked before but for the life of me I can't find an workable solution. How do you log in users outside of VB4? We have a private intranet site and I'm adding private forums to this.

I will be creating the users and will know their passwords (they will not know them). I need to log them in. I've done this in vb3 a number of years ago but can't get it to work in vb4. I'm working with php.

UPDATE

Figured it out. This is what worked for me using a combination of php and javscript to auto log them into the forums when they click the forums button from our website:

php

PHP Code:


			
$hasher = md5('users password');
        
$destination = "'https://yourpathtothe/forums/login.php?do=login";
$params = "{
    'url':'index.php',
    'vb_login_username':'users login', 
    'vb_login_password':'".$hasher."',
    'vb_login_md5password':'".$hasher."',
    'vb_login_md5password_utf':'".$hasher."',
    'do':'login',
    'securitytoken':'guest',
    's':''
}";

javascript

Code:

<html>
	<head>
		<script>
			function post_to_url(path,params) {
				method = "post";

				var form = document.createElement("form");
				form.setAttribute("method", method);
				form.setAttribute("action", path);
				
				//Move the submit function to another variable
				//so that it doesn't get overwritten.
				form._submit_function_ = form.submit;
				
				for(var key in params) {
					if(params.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
						var hiddenField = document.createElement("input");
						hiddenField.setAttribute("type", "hidden");
						hiddenField.setAttribute("name", key);
						hiddenField.setAttribute("value", params[key]);
			 
						form.appendChild(hiddenField);
					}
				}		
				
				document.body.appendChild(form);
				form._submit_function_();
			}

			window.onload = function() {
				post_to_url('<?php echo $destination; ?>',<?php echo $params; ?>); 
			}
		</script>
	</head>
	<body>
	</body>
</html>

Not the most elegant solution but hopefully it will help others get started.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
