Thanks Josh, I use this one a lot <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

This works fine, except the generic page show the user:<br /><br />You are not logged in. [Login] <br /><br />how to correct?

Do you have forum cookies set globally?

I can't find a setting in my cp o set them globally?

Control Panel - > Primary Settings <br />Advanced Options Tab <br /> <br />If the page you created isn't in your ubbthreads direcotry then set the cookie path to / <br /> <br />Also don't use http://www.yourdomain.com and http://yourdomain.com (no www) interchangably as the cookies are different between the two. You can be logged in at www. but not at the domain without the www.

hmmm, if I take the www out all users get this on submit:<br /><br />The host you are trying to send the input from is not a valid host. <br />Please use your back button to return to the previous page.

You can also set that part at whatever name registration service you use (register.com, joker.com, etc.). Set the http://yourdomain.com as an alias for http://www.yourdomain.com. <br /><br />You'll need to set the cookie globally like Josh explained to / (the root of your site), that way it will be available to your whole site.

my cookie is set / as default, never changed that. Thanks for the tip to change at registrar - didn't think of that.

[/]<br /><br />Use whatever one you use normally - that error you get is the referral check, which you can either turn off in your admin area.<br /><br />You also should list both domains for the referral check:<br /><br />Control Panel -> Primary Settings -> Advanced Options<br /><br />In the box that says "Domains for HTTP Refer check" separate them with a | per the example.com domain shown there.

Even after following your advice to the minute it still shows "you are not logged in".<br /><br />I have done http://www.nobody.com|http://nobody.com<br /><br />and have also tried with referrer enabled and disabled.<br /><br />Make no difference. The not logged it won't go away.

This is great, an extremely useful little thing that I'm getting a lot of use out of.<br /><br />However, there are a few additional info pages that I'd like only to be visible to members of the forum that are logged in. How would I go about doing that?<br /><br />Further restriction by group (if they're not in a specific group, they can't see it) would be nice as well. Is that a lot of extra stuff that would require more than just the generic page stuff?

To restrict a page to logged in users only, just below the authenticate function, add this<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />To restrict a page to a specific usergroup, first:<br /><br />Find this:<br /><br /><br />Change to this:<br />[/code]<br /> $user = $userob -> authenticate("U_Groups");<br />[/code]<br /><br /><br />Below that, let's assume that you only want to allow access to usergroup #5, and if they aren't in the #5 group, we block them<br />Add this:<br /><br /><br />To account for allowing multiple usergroups, example admins, moderators and group 5 are allowed:<br /><br /><br />That should do it. <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
