ahhhh... hmmm.

We can already check to see if they are cookied and show their name [logout] or if they aren't ask them to login/register. Would this take it further and allow them to see latest threads or not depending on if they were logged in or some such thing?

maybe pm notification?

Greetings.
At one point I thought the following topic would answer the question of loging in throughout the site. Here is the topic I'm talking about " Login sequence ", but after trying yesterday and early today I gave up on it. If anybody can figure out how to make this work, I feel that a more simple implementation of Login in plus other scripts can be done, cutting down on the time needed to modify and blend such scripts....or maybe I just don't know what I'm talking about... .
this could be useful to add things like a newsletter and classified ads sections.

What about the code here?

http://www.ubbdev.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=14;t=000566;p=2#000024

I'm working with cgi and html files for now. how can I make that work with other than php?

I love to see what people put together. If you use the SSI functions of the hacks you install you can come up with a very nice home page or entry into your site.

rabriar - Just change the <php and ?> with the call you use for HTML.

nope that didn't do it.
I'll check the books again...

ok I got that working, but still, it stays in the same page. How can I redirect the user to the login page if hey are not logged in, just like in the forum summary. I did a "view source" and all, but still when I add it to a page if you are not logged in, you are still able to see ther est of the page.(here is an axample of what I'm talking about Test Page .)
What I want to do is that if you are not logged in, have you redirected to a login page. But if you are logged in then you can have access to the contents of that page.
Can this be done?

Thank you

Rabriar

There is an error with your UBB News there, it isn't showing the news for you.

No it's just the black text on a black background.
I left it like that, basicly I just wanted to show you that the script shows you the rest of the page even though you are not logged in.

Rabriar

I don't think the code you used is supposed to stop the page loading if your not logged in.

ahh ok.
I see what I can do, that's what I understood from the old posts. But there has to be a way to do it, I'll work on it during the week.

ok once again, this is a very rough look at what I'm working on. My Portal
I'm working on more things to add to it, if anybody wants to get involved in it you can email me or PM me, I'll try to add stuff as my time permits.
It's not great, but just a beginning.
and yes I have to work on the graphics (buttons), not my best area....

Well, it looks like that now, I'll add borders to the table to see if it looks better with them. I did not want to end the week without adding something to it .
Click the link for "My Portal" in the quote above to see how it looks.

I'm working on something, and by no means I'm an expert. But I'm just having fun, I'll see how diferent, things look when the developers are done, from what I'm doing. my work is extremely rough, but if anybody wants to check it out send me a PM and I'll send you a link so you can track my progress, as I work on it on a daily basis, and time permitting. Please keep in mind that I'm just a regular webmaster, so expect no dazzling graphics, just a basic portal.
Perhaps if you have some knowledge, we could share and do a little project :-), I welcome inputs; By no means I'm competing with the experts, I just see a few of us getting impatient...
Rabriar</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">why don't you join the *official* project?

Not too bad.

I am also going to add more things to my PN then I had, I only had Latest Threads and WOL and soon to add some Statistics and maybe PM notification.

I have no skills to offer to the *official* project I'm good at seeing something after it's done, and maybe finding errors, but I can not write code at all, so there's no need for me to just add my name there, just to be there.

I'll just wait for the portal to be done.

Rabriar

This portal sounds like it is going to be great. Keep up all the hard work you guys.

Anything NEW going on with this?

Ray

I'm wondering the same thing, no update for a while.

i have to apologize for the lack of updates. it seems that the few of us involved have been overloaded with real life things lately and haven't had the time to devote to the portal that we should. I hope to be able to change that very soon.
