EDIT: Kinda of a lost cause to write it in cgi, when javascript should be used.

If you want a php version, try this:

If i can get this to work right, it'll do it for you. My sites written in php also, so when i get it right i'll tell you.

With this, you'll need to exploit it when it's done.

It's in JavaScript, so it has nothing to do with PHP/CGI/whatever...

Use:

BUT, don't forget to change $vars_config{CGIURL}, the Wordlets and ofcourse $vars_config{Cookie_Number}. The best thing to do is execute the CGI file, choose to View Source and copy & paste the JS code.

Don't forget it has to be on the same domain.

Hmm, shows up now. But still some probs. Even if you're logged in on the forum, it shows you as not logged in on the main page. I click Log In on the main page, log in, then if i click back it still says logged out.

However if I type in the address for the page and go there instead of hitting back it shows me logged in.

Also, if I leave the site and come back I'm logged out again. Gotta be a cookie prob somewhere... I dunno.

Noticed this a while ago too.. If I click the my profile link on the main page it says I'm not logged in.. argh

Don't forget to always use exactly the same subdomain/domain as the forums, try http://www.4x4c.racesim.net/index2.php instead of http://4x4c.racesim.net/index2.php .

Hmmm...I tried all of this and nothing's showing up on my site. I have a test page up at:

http://www.vhtrading.com/vht4/index.shtml

..and the output should be appearing before the word "test" before the large "What's New" header. I know it's not a domain prob, because I am using the exact same path for three other SSI's on the same page. LK, is your second JavaScript example supposed to go with the cgi file itself? I tried that, and obviously it doesn't work

Didn't Skorpion/Jamin (or somebody else) have a login/username script on their non-UBB homepage at one time? If I'm remembering correctly, does anybody still have a copy of that script? Thanks.

Of course you can't see it in the source, it's already "executed". wink And like I said, the "showname.cgi" is called the exact same way that my other SSI's are called and the other ones work. LK, would you like for me to e-mail you the source code so's you can see it?

I mean I can't see the JavaScript code. Are you sure you printed the header + this code?

Okay, I've added the JS to the header, but the SSi still doesn't show up (again, right before the word "test" above the "What's New" Header):

Not sure what you're referring to, but now I'm getting an "object expected" error on the page.

Well, before this topic slips down into tne netherworld of never-responded-to-ever-again posts wink , let me add that the "showname.cgi" script itself is not working on my site:

http://www.vhtrading.com/cgi-bin/showname.cgi

I assume that before the SSI can work, the cgi file itself must be functional . I doubt if it's a permissions issue, because I've tried chmod-ing the file to 775, 777, etc. and it's not working. Somethin' else must be causing the 500 Error frown

You didn't print the header, probably. Take a look at the error log

Not working for me...
PHP 4.0.6 ($_COOKIE[] is unsupported in this version)
PHP Code

// change this!!!
$dir_to_noncgi = "../ubb";
// change this!!!
require "$dir_to_noncgi/vars_config.inc.php";
global
$Cookie_Number, $CGIURL;
$my_cookie = $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['ubber'.$Cookie_Number];
$my_ubb = "$CGIURL/ultimatebb.cgi";
if (
$my_cookie) { $take_me_apart = explode("&", $my_cookie);
$username = $take_me_apart["2"];
echo
"Hello $username! [ <a href="$my_ubb?ubb=logout">Logout</a> ]";
} else {
echo
"You are not logged in [ <a href="" . $my_ubb . "?ubb=login">Login</a> or <a href="" . $my_ubb . "?ubb=agree">Register</a> ]";
}

The javascript version works, but I need the PHP version to work because I need to know whether they're logged in BEFORE they can view the page (security reasons.)

Thanks for any help smile

hmmmm... I am doing it a bit differently. I want to create a table on the front index.php that gives them the:

Hello Username [ Logout ]

If they are logged in. If they aren't logged in, I want to give them a login box. That part is easy, except that it's never recognizing me as being logged in. You can see the results on the front page here, lower right hand corner.

Here's my code:
Code
<?
// Name: Name on front page by raiyan
// Description: Grabs your ubb name and prints it
// change this!!!
$dir_to_noncgi = "/home/virtual/admin35/var/www/html/ubb";
// change this!!!
require "$dir_to_noncgi/vars_config.inc.php";
global $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS, $HTTP_SERVER_VARS, $Cookie_Number, $CGIURL;
$my_cookie = $_COOKIE["ubber$Cookie_Number"];
$my_ubb = "$CGIURL/ultimatebb.cgi";
if ($my_cookie) {
$cookie = explode("&", $my_cookie);
echo "Hello $cookie[2]! [ <a href="$my_ubb?ubb=logout">Logout</a> ]";
} else {
echo "<form action="$CGIURL/ultimatebb.cgi" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="ubb" value="do_login" />
Login Name: <input type="text" name="username" size="15" maxlength="40" />

Password: <input type="password" name="password" size="15" maxlength="30" />

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Login" /></form>";
}
?>
Any ideas why it's not recognizing me as being logged in?
