I've got a webpage which has two buttons. One needs to log you into the FUDforum and display the main page. The other needs to log you into the FUDforum and then display a particular forum.
I've got the login working fine by just having the buttons submit a form to the FUD login page, however I thought you could send returnto as a form field to tell it where to go after the login, but it doesn't seem to work.

any suggestions?

OR, i just thought of an alternative. How does the FUDforum determine if a user is logged in? If it's based on some session variables, then I can set these myself to do the auto-login, and then just direct to the correct page.

Thanks,
Mark

The forum determines the user status via the user_id field stored inside the sessions record. The returnto field is stored in the database based on previous request, so if you want to change it update the returnto field in the relavent session record.

ok, but what if the user has never logged in to the forum, then they wont be in the sessions record to update the returnto.

If the user does not have a session I'm afraid you'll need to modify login.php.t to have some pre-determined default built-in other then the front page of the forum.

i just found the api for login supplied with FUDforum and am trying to write the same thing in ColdFusion, to edit the ses table so that it logs in a user automatically. I can't get it to work though, do you know what fields in the ses table FUDforum bases if you are logged in or not on? Does it use the time_sec to check when you logged in?

Thanks,
Mark

time_sec is only used if the session is a URL session. The main thing you need is the sys_id field, which the ses_make_sysid() function generates.
