login box for non-vB pages

[Ruth]

i need to do the following in non-vB pages:

(1) if the user already logged use their cookies and display a welcome $username + logout link

(2) if the user is not logged use the login form before displaying the page content.

(3) When the user logs in successfully, plant a cookie.

appreciate your help ...

thanks in advance

I need help with this too. I have gone through all the nonvb login box posts and none of them have helped - I really can't see why this is so hard. Please help some one.

[mr e]

start by including global.php, if your above the forum root do a chdir('./vb/') then include('global.php') then just do a if($bbuserinfo[userid] != 0) {DISPLAY WELCOME;} else {DISPLAY LOGIN BOX}

just copy the code from the templates to the page

Thanks i'll give that a go now.

Mr e,

I have put this into my index.php file on my www.mysite.com/index.php:

<?
chdir("forum/");
require('global.php');
chdir("../");
$templatesused='webwelcome_welcometext,webwebwelcome_logincode,webwelcome_logoutcode,webwelcome_unregmessage,webwelcome_pmloggedin';
?>

and then further down I've added:

<? // if user is know, then welcome
if ($bbuserinfo['userid']!=0) {
  $username=$bbuserinfo['username'];
  eval("\$welcometext = \"".gettemplate('webwelcome_welcometext')."\";");
  eval("\$logincode = \"".gettemplate('webwelcome_logoutcode')."\";");

} else {
  $welcometext = "";
  eval("\$logincode = \"".gettemplate('webwelcome_logincode')."\";");
}

if ($bbuserinfo['userid']==0) {
  eval("\$unregwelcomemessage = \"".gettemplate('webwelcome_unregmessage')."\";");
}

?>

Everythings working fine except I get this at the top of my index file:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/marulat/public_html/lib/mtlibrary.lib:19) in /home/marulat/public_html/forum/admin/functions.php on line 1652

There is a thread which explains the header errors in the hacking hints and tips forum. You might want to take a read of it :

Thanks for the link miSt! I think the offending code is:

<?php require '/home/marulat/public_html/lib/******.lib';
chdir("forum/");
require('global.php');
chdir("../");
$templatesused='webwelcome_welcometext,webwebwelcome_logincode,webwelcome_logoutcode,webwelcome_unregmessage,webwelcome_pmloggedin';
?>

This little piece of code is also used in the top of my page for another script:

<?php require '/home/marulat/public_html/lib/******.lib';
?>

[Dean C]

Your Welcome - i hope your problem is now solved

perfect all done. Thanks a million everybody for you help!

oh one more thing:

Where I have my login box include, it leave a HUGE gap above it. any ideas?

[Nebby]

when i try this i keep getting the following

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: gettemplate() in /home/****/public_html/overallfoot.php on line 55

But why only on that template? the ones before it worked fine.

line 55 is:
eval("\$logincode = \"".gettemplate('webwelcome_logincode')."\";");
