Hi, I'm trying to make a login box on my main page (not where the forum is) .. and I want to use the "returnto" tag to send the user back to the main page (/index.php) when the user has logged in.

I assumed that was what the "returnto" tag was for. However, it does not work Sad ..

The user is sent to /fud/index.php not /index.php, even though I specify the full URL ..

here's my code:
<?

	$sess_string = $HTTP_GET_VARS["S"];
?>	
	<form name="quick_login_form" method="post" action="/fud/index.php?t=login">
	<input type="hidden" name="S" value="<?=$sess_string?>">
<table>
<tr class="SmallText">
	<td>brukernavn</td>
	<td>Passord</td>
	<td colspan=2>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td><input class="SmallText" type="text" name="quick_login" size=18></td>
	<td><input class="SmallText" type="password" name="quick_password" size=18></td>
	<td><input type="checkbox" name="quick_use_cookies" value="1"><font class="SmallText"> Bruk cookies?</font> </td>
	<td><input type="submit" class="button" name="quick_login_submit" value="Logg inn"></td>
</tr>
</table>
<input type="hidden" name="returnto" value="http://127.0.0.1">
</form>


Also, if someone had a short snippet for finding out wheter or not a user is logged in, that would be appreciated.

This is due to the nature of the forum redirect's returnto can ONLY be a forum based URL. This is done to prevent XSS exploits by specifying offsite returnto URLs. If you want to redirect the user to a non-forum URL create a small php script inside the forum's directory that will do just that and then redirect the user to that script.

ah, ok, thanks.

btw; have you guys thought about providing a developer's documentation or something? That would be very useful IMHO, and would probably increase the number of plugins etc. drastically Smile

My view on plugins is somewhat mixed, while I see no problem with people adding all kinds of functionaly, I do see a problem with an audited plugins being out there. Many of the security faults in other forums often results from such plug-ins and detract from the overall image of the forum. By making requiring the developers who want to make modification first obtain good understanding of the code I believe this can be avoided.

hello folks,

have the same problem as well. i built a site seite1.php and saved it to the www-root, took the code above and changed the url and hoped it would work. it did not...
the line: $sess_string = $HTTP_GET_VARS["S"]; caused an error of an undefined index s and the redirection opened the index.php again.
so, please do me a gib favour and tell me what to do!

thnxx a lot

The line that causes a warning tries to find the URL session. To fix the problem do this:
<?php
$sess_string = isset($_GET['S']) ? $_GET['S'] : '';
?>

Aye, but there are hardly even any comments that allude to what is going on in the code. My biggest issue is trying to understand how the templating system works; it is really funky IMHO.

The whole idea about the templating system is that you do not need to go into PHP code, you can make the necessary altertions by modifying the mostly plain HTML .tmpl files. The code which does the template compiling probably would take a small book to fully describe and document and even then there would be a few ambiguities.

Maybe I was reading things incorrectly, but wouldn't someone need to know how it works to add new php code that has a user interface?

Not really, first of all you can copy/paste from existing page and there is also documention on the various templating tags and basic theme compiler operation.
