Hi. My website is
http://kh13.com/ and my forum is
http://kh13.com/mybb/.
On the index page, I have placed the following code before any HTML.
<?php
chdir('mybb'); // path to MyBB
define("IN_MYBB", 1);
require './global.php';
?>
Then, where I want the login forum to appear, I have placed this:
<?php echo "$welcomeblock"; ?>
I included all relevant CSS and put the following in the <head> tag:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://kh13.com/mybb/jscripts/prototype.js?ver=1400"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://kh13.com/mybb/jscripts/general.js?ver=1400"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://kh13.com/mybb/jscripts/popup_menu.js?ver=1400"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
var cookieDomain = ".kh13.com";
var cookiePath = "/mybb/";
var cookiePrefix = "";
var deleteevent_confirm = "Are you sure you want to delete this event?";
var removeattach_confirm = "Are you sure you want to remove the selected attachment from this post?";
var loading_text = 'Loading. <br />Please Wait..';
var saving_changes = 'Saving changes..';
var use_xmlhttprequest = "1";
var my_post_key = "<?php echo "$mybb->post_code"; ?>";
var imagepath = "images/midnight";
// --></script>
This creates a welcome block identical to the one that is included in my forum. However, when I login at
http://kh13.com/ and submit, it redirects me to
http://kh13.com/member.php (instead of reloading the current page) and the welcome block shows no signs that I have logged in (it still shows the guest message).
What am I missing? What do I need to do to get the login form to work on non-MyBB parts of the site? Thanks.
You can login using the following details to test it:
Username: Test
Password: password

As far as I can see, it does link to that location... if I look at the source of the page (after the PHP has loaded that template), then the code shows this:
<span id="quick_login">Hello There, Guest! <a href="http://kh13.com/mybb/member.php?action=login" onclick="MyBB.quickLogin(); return false;" class="login">Login</a><a href="http://kh13.com/mybb/member.php?action=register" class="register">Register</a></span>
So, any idea what I need to change? Thanks for the reply.
I couldn't find the CSS for #quick_login anywhere. In which file is that located?

Yes. But that's generated by what you set your forum's directory to(when you installed it). I don't see any way to get it to work without the action="" of the login form being set automatically..
Oh, I think the member.php problem lies in one of the Javascript files. The code in general.js used to say "form.setAttribute("action", "member.php");", and I have changed it to "form.setAttribute("action", "http://kh13.com/mybb/member.php");". When I login now, it reloads the current page. However, it still shows the guest message.

I think it's because it sets the cookie for
http://kh13.com/mybb/, not
http://kh13.com..I could be wrong though:p I'm pretty sure that's why..

Oh, thanks a lot. I changed the cookie path and now everything seems to be working.
I have one more question though... at the start of the page, I used the following code:
<?php
chdir('mybb');
define("IN_MYBB", 1);
require './global.php'; ?>
However, on other sections of my site (such as kh13.com/something/), the chdir location would have to be "../mybb", for example. Because the <head> tags are generated by an include file, how can the chdir code always link to kh13.com/mybb? I have tried chdir('http://kh13.com/mybb'), however this did not work. Is it possible?

Neither of those work? I think you can't use ../ in the chdir() function..
Quote:Neither of those work? I think you can't use ../ in the chdir() function..
Well I haven't tried using "../" yet, I've only put the PHP code on the index page.
Instead of adding the PHP code to every page, I was just going to put it into a file which every page includes. However, if I simply use chdir(mybb), then pages in other directories will not link to the correct location. I tried to fix this by using chdir(
http://kh13.com/mybb), however that did not work.
You can try doing, and replacing PAGE_NAME.PHP with the current page:
$dir = str_replace($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], "PAGE_NAME.PHP", $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
chdir($dir);
Not sure if it'll work, but it's worth a try.:p
