Hello im just new to Threads, UBB at all infact. I was wondering if any one can help me with a little issue. Im looking for a script that i can include on my front page that will allow site members to login/logout.<br /><br />If they are already logged in the script displays there info instead of the login info. I plan on using this to authenticate my entire website, But dont want to use the IIP.<br /><br />Thanks allot for any help you can offer.

Since the login pal from IIP is based on Threads. <br /> <br />You could write up a little script based on the login script function of login.php from threads. Althought the easiest thing might be to cosmetically change IIP's loginpal to suit your needs.

yeah i was thinking about that but my index page is already finished, ill just have to do some coding and haxing myself to see what i can come up with. thanks.

Well the login pal could be coded as a standalone application to a degree. There are certain variables you would need to add to the page to make it work but may be the easiest way to go.

Hi,<br /><br />I think we did pretty much this. We have an index page for the site and on it wished to display certain parts of the IIP.<br />What I did was install the IIP, then copy bits and pieces of the code to our own index page, which seemed to work quite well (make certain the paths are correct though).<br /><br />The parts I added were:<br /><br /><br />You can then just add in the parts of IIP you want by calling them like this:<br /><br /><br />Sanuk!

thanks, Ill do that, What about formating the look of the include, they use templates right? guess i could just edit that to fit my needs too right? Cool. Thanks again. Please let me know if i am correct.

Yep you format the html to your needs.

thanks again. that was Great. One more question though, I can just leave out the link to the enterance that we have to add to the language files right? that will leave it off of the forums so that its not available?

Thanks again and sorry to bother you with these questions.

Never Mind, I got it thanks for the help, Now i just have to get it to re-direct back to the front page, instead of the home of the user that had logged in. Thanks.

My Home or Main Index is a user preference for logging in set in the "Display preferences, number of shown threads, languages, colors...". So you will probally need to run a querry to update your users preference if you want them to go to the main index. If you don't want them to be able to choose you will need to comment out that option. I believe it will be in editdisplay.php, the language file editdisplay.php or editdisplay.tmpl. I'm not sure which.
