LOGIN.CGI - Version 3.5 [Public Release]
Supports versions 5.xx of UBB Licensed ONLY
By Jim Goldbloom sysop@accessdeniedbbs.net

Release date: 02/02/01 3pm

This is my final release for 5.xx series of UBB.
A new beta for UBB6 users will be available in a few weeks.

What is LOGIN.CGI?

So you're thinking why not just use .htaccess and be done with it? HA! I say, HA HA HA! ;-)

This version supports support for UBB styles (colors/fonts/etc.) plus a nifty new option to ban users who do not have posting enabled in their profile, if you wish. Other cosmetic fixes and it's an EXTREMELY stable version. I also updated the docs and perl-cookie.lib to help Windows users. This is a complete front end to tighten security on your UBB and allow a customized login screen complete with guest login support (optional), SSI redirects of forum topic pages requiring login first, IP ban checking, invalid/missing/illegal logins, and fixes problems with a few cookies. This is a powerful front end and I am sure you'll enjoy, it's highly customized and even includes custom redirect option you can use as you see fit.

Full features listing in this version:

* authenticates username/pass with UBB member files
* catches/logs ALL invalid/missing/illegal logins
* full support for IP ban list in CP
* Optionally force logout users who do NOT have
posting capability enabled but are registered.
* login username displayed in UBB; logout prompt hack
* full support for guest login mode
* support for registration screen (new members)
* support for lost password function in UBB
* when posting, username/pass fields *always*
filled in automatically even if other cookies expire
* guests are restricted from posting - full control
* custom entry point login screen integration for
unique online experience for your users
* automated logging (creates browser viewable HTML)
including date/time/user/IP/hostname lookup
and ability to disable events as you wish
* optional SSI support for max. data protection
(such as accessing UBB HTML topics/forums) with
registered user auto-redirect after login
* forced/manual login/logout, integrated into UBB
* allow custom private forum/screen redirect to
expand functionality of your UBB
* demo screens included in release archive
* full documentation and examples in archive
for UBB hacks, login screen demo, SSI setup
* friendly login-setup.txt - new and improved
* very streamlined UBB hacks, easy to install
* redirects have sensible timing delays
* colors and fonts are pulled from UBB styles
settings so clean, integrated interface for
any HTML generated by the script.

Hey Hate98, you just released the final version on Feb 2nd and already you've taken it off your site? UBBHackers is history, so I can't get it from them, either.

Know anyone else that might have ver 3.5?

No, I am just an idiot and forgot to put the 305 file back onto the server after I redid the download page. It's back up there right now and downloadable.

Sorry 'bout that! Please note I do not support it by adding hacks or source, but I can answer questions about it... just no more mods to it. I took UBB5xx off my server and happily run UBB6 currently.
