Okay i've just tried putting the login form with the reason for the boards being closed, and sorry to say: it doesn't work!

The only way, is to log in via the admin cp...
however, this only applys for administrators. What about other user groups?

I told ya so.
Guess that was never thought of/tested when he released it lol.

Sorry DarkSSJ3 but your hack doesn't work :-(
Nice idea though!

I'll carry on working on this idea on my test forums, and if i manage to find a way round it, i'll release it on here! But i doubt it'll work...

it doesn't work? It works for me :s Be sure to do the query.

PS
Mods/smods can login using the modcp

[EDIT]
I'll create an system that will alow an user to login without using admin/mod cp. For now at least admins and smods and mods that are assigned to an forum can login using the cp's.

But I asumed users would simply be logged in

That would be great - since on our board we are looking for something just like that.

Your hack created an error for me ... also I couldnt find the script in admin/global.php ... it was in ./global.php
is it supposed to be like that

Sorry if this sounds dumb ... I am fairly new to this

Mephisteus · #17 07-17-2003, 10:39 AM

it's supposed to be in global.php

So that's ok

I get this:

So like... what's wrong, doya think? I tried the edited bit up a few posts, but that didn't work either, sadly. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Never mind, fixed it.
