Very simpel
Put the next code in your page at the place where you want that people can click to login :

<?php
// Administrative links:
user_login_link( '<li>', '</li>' );
user_register_link( '<li>', '</li>' );
user_admin_link( '<li>', '</li>' );
user_profile_link( '<li>', '</li>' );
user_logout_link( '<li>', '</li>' );
?>

Thanks Topanga.

But will that bring them straight to the frontpage where they can see the members only blog or does that bring them into the admin first?

that brings them back to the page they are when they click that button

I have seen what you mean on the following site: using redirect.

http://isaac.beigetower.org/

Now when they come back it should show the previously hidden members only post.

I don't want anybody who registers to have access only the ones I give permissions to:

Or that just comes later in the process when I check box their permissions to view the members only blog.

sorry for my stupidty :roll:

So your site is open for new members ?

At my site, people can't register... that means, that only people who are alredy a member, can log in, and obviously, see the members only posts imediately when they come back...

Ok I just shut up and did it.

great!

Thnx Topang

It did redirect me to the index page.

how about if I need it to redirect to a another page?

How do I fit the new redirect http:.. nicely into main.php?

<?php
// Administrative links:
user_login_link( '<li>', '</li>' );
?>

or does the login redirecting go in login.php?

default:
/*
* Default: login form:
*/
if( is_logged_in() )
{ // The user is already logged in...
$error = T_('Note: You are already logged in!');

param( 'redirect_to', 'string', $ReqURI );
if( basename( $redirect_to ) == basename( $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] ) )
{ // avoid "endless loops"
$redirect_to = $admin_url.'/';
}
$error .= ' <a href="'.$redirect_to.'">'.T_('Continue...').'</a>';
}

// Display login form:
require( dirname(__FILE__).'/_login_form.php' );
exit();

I have absolutely no clue.
I'm not the kind of woman who's messing around in the code.

The page with all my post ist index.php. Perhaps thats why I don't have a problem.

I hope somebody else will have a sollution.

As far as I understand it, if you click on the login link on the main page, you will be redirected back to where you came from. If you hit /admin, you'll go to the admin page. The idea is that you don't give people who aren't supposed to get to /admin the address...

If you see this guys source code.

http://isaac.beigetower.org/

after someone logs in he directs them to his desired blog or category.

If anyone can show me which php file and where to put example.

Thnx Topanga I'm the same. Not that brave to mess around with code I don't really get yet.

But the org is requesting it, so I have to come thru. I know the default is a symbol which tells it to get the index.php. I need it to redir to a specific cat or blog.

I think it should go in one of these 2 red text places in _function_users.php but i'm not brave to experiment.

* user_login_link(-)
*
* Template tag; Provide a link to login
*/
function user_login_link( $before = '', $after = '', $link_text = '', $link_title = '#' )
{
global $htsrv_url, $blog;

if( is_logged_in() ) return false;

if( $link_text == '' ) $link_text = T_('Login...');
if( $link_title == '#' ) $link_title = T_('Executive Login');

$redir = '';
if( !empty( $blog ) )
{ // We'll want to return to this blog after login
$redir = '?redirect_to='.htmlspecialchars( get_bloginfo('blogurl') );
}

echo $before;
echo '<a href="', $htsrv_url, '/login.php', $redir, '" title="', $link_title, '">';
echo $link_text;

Have you tried doing what I said? Because what I said does work. I tried it myself this morning. You haven't actually said what blog you want to redirect to. Do you want the user to return to the same blog they left, or a different one?

Ok, I'll explain what each bit of the code you copied does, so you understand where I'm coming from:

$redir = '';
if( !empty( $blog ) )
{ // We'll want to return to this blog after login
$redir = '?redirect_to='.htmlspecialchars( get_bloginfo('blogurl') );
}
The get_bloginfo('blogurl') tells the script which blog the user came from, so it knows where to send them back to.

echo $before;
echo '<a href="', $htsrv_url, '/login.php', $redir, '" title="', $link_title, '">';
This tells the script where to find the login page, which in turn processes the login procedure.

So, if you don't want members to be able to access the admin screen, you need to put this code in your _main.php file:

<?php
// Administrative links:
user_login_link( '<li>', '</li>' );
user_register_link( '<li>', '</li>' );
user_profile_link( '<li>', '</li>' );
user_logout_link( '<li>', '</li>' );
?>

Notice I've removed the admin link, so this means that unless the users specifically know where thappen to stumble upon it, well, there's not much they can do with it anyway.

Now, for your second question. Firstly, it's pretty damn silly to display the user's password on the screen, due to brower histories and caches and stuff, and as such, no existing function shows the password (although I'm sure one could be hacked together).

But, to show the user's username, put this code on your _main.php somewhere:

<?php $User->login(); ?>

You can also display their preferred name (the one they choose on their profile page) by using this code:

<?php $User->prefered_name(); ?>

I'm not sure if those last two will work, since I've never used them, I'm just going by what the manual says here.

Thnx Graham.

I don't want to go back to the index page where they logged in from. I want to redirect them to a protected members only blog.

so i should put my http://protectedblog here?

$redir = '?redirect_to='.htmlspecialchars( get_bloginfo('http://otherblog') );

$redir = '';
if( !empty( $blog ) )
{ // We'll want to return to this blog after login
$redir = '?redirect_to='.htmlspecialchars( get_bloginfo('blogurl') );
}
The get_bloginfo('blogurl') tells the script which blog the user came from, so it knows where to send them back to.

And here too?
echo $before;
echo '<a href=http://protectedblog', $htsrv_url, '/login.php', $redir, '" title="', $link_title, '">';

This might work - make a backup of the file before you touch it.

$redir = '';
if( !empty( $blog ) )
{ // We'll want to return to this blog after login
$redir = '?redirect_to= echo 'http://membersblog';;
}

Do not touch the second section. It tells b2evolution where to find the login.php file, which is required to process the login.

tryed it and didn't work. got a could not parse so I must have put it in wrong.

I'm gonna try on main.php

Could it be somewhere in the login.php?

Ok, if that didn't work, it's beyond my level of php. Could you give me a url so I can see what error you're getting exactly? It may help me solve this. If I can't maybe one of the actual coders can help (the last suggestion was a pure guess :oops: ).

Hi Graham,

my login script is on the index.php page which was inserted in main.php:

<?php
// Administrative links:
user_login_link( '<li>', '</li>' );
user_logout_link( '<li>', '</li>' );
?>

// recommended by the kindhearted Topanga //

Now after someone logs in it redirects them back to index.php

I would like to change the default redirection to a different page ( or blog ) or category.

could be as simple as modifying the code above in the main.php ?

thnx

Umm, could you give me a url to look at? Asking the same question over and over, without answering the questions I ask won't get us very far...

Your a patient man Graham.

The url is http://www.fmki-kaj.org

when i click login it opens this html page which is fine:

http://www.fmki-kaj.org/articles/htsrv/login.php?redirect_to=http://www.fmki-kaj.org/articles/index.php

now the red part of the url I would like to change to:

http://www.fmki-kaj.org/articles/index.php?blog=9

"FMKI Publisher" ...?

Hi Isaac,

thats so the members won't get lost when they arrive at that url.

btw sorry to make an account on your site, I was trying to see what it does. your site is very well done.

can you help me with my redirecting problem?

No problem, I love deleting users named "test." :) (This was my third, actually.) If it really ever bugs me, I'll disallow new registrations or something.

I just skimmed through this thread, and here's what I can offer you off the top of my head:
The "$redirect" variable gets set from the URI. (Go to the login form, and you'll see it says "login.php?redirect=http://etc/url/page.php?querystring=stuff" in the address bar.)

The easiest way to control where someone gets redirected to: Change the link that they click on. Yes, it is as simple as modifying the code above in _main.php. Just hardcode a link to .../htsrv/login.php?redirect=http://example.com/where/you/want/them/to/go.php?cat=45&blog=2&etc
When they login, they'll get forwarded to that url.

Isaac, do you mean somewhere in this part of login.php

default:
/*
* Default: login form:
*/
if( is_logged_in() )
{ // The user is already logged in...
$error = T_('Note: You are already logged in!');

param( 'redirect_to', 'string', $ReqURI );
if( basename( $redirect_to ) == basename( $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] ) )
{ // avoid "endless loops"
$redirect_to = $admin_url.'/';
}
$error .= ' <a href="'.$redirect_to.'">'.T_('Continue...').'</a>';
}

// Display login form:
require( dirname(__FILE__).'/_login_form.php' );
exit();

No, he means to change the link on your _main.php.

Graham wrote:

This my _main.php. I just don't know where to put the redirecting link.

I think it goes where i highlighted in red, but I don't know how to put a link cleanly in there. :oops:

Tony,

Please stop posting the entire contents of files. Usually only a little bit is required to get your point across, and so far, you've highlighted the correct part each time. Just paste the part that you would highlight. Thanks.

Add this to your _main.php somewhere (anywhere you like, really), and tell us if that's what you want:

<a href="http://www.fmki-kaj.org/articles/htsrv/login.php?redirect_to=http://www.fmki-kaj.org/articles/index.php?blog=9">Login link</a>

If that's not what you want, please let us know what's wrong with it, and we'll do our best to solve your problem.

Sorry Issac, it must have been desperation, I have never done that before.
I thought the problem was so easy to solve but I still couldn't solve it.

Ok.
<ul>
<?php
user_login_link( '<li>', '</li>' ); <----- This is where it should go
user_register_link( '<li>', '</li>' );
user_admin_link( '<li>', '</li>' );
user_profile_link( '<li>', '</li>' );
user_logout_link( '<li>', '</li>' );
?>
</ul>

<a href="http://www.fmki-kaj.org/articles/htsrv/login.php?redirect_to=http://www.fmki-kaj.org/articles/index.php?blog=9">Login link</a>

do I just replace the green code with the red code or does the red code fit inside the green code.

I know you guys are laughing but plz I gotta know :lol:

thnx!

<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.fmki-kaj.org/articles/htsrv/login.php?redirect_to=http://www.fmki-kaj.org/articles/index.php?blog=9">Login link</a></li>
<?php
user_register_link( '<li>', '</li>' );
user_admin_link( '<li>', '</li>' );
user_profile_link( '<li>', '</li>' );
user_logout_link( '<li>', '</li>' );
?>
</ul>

That should sort you out.

Thanks all for your kind patience. :D

I am gonna go read a php book and a few others

cheers![/b]

in the /b2evocore/_functions_user.php file change the following variable assignment $redirect= for the login function to send to the home page, a similar change is made for the logout/register/profile functions as well

also note that if using multiple blogs you will want to fill in the last $redirect= ''; to contain the home page as shown

function user_login_link( $before = '', $after = '', $link_text = '', $link_title = '#' )
{
global $htsrv_url, $edited_Blog, $generating_static;

if( is_logged_in() ) return false;

if( $link_text == '' ) $link_text = T_('Login...');
if( $link_title == '#' ) $link_title = T_('Login if you have an account...');

if( !isset($generating_static) )
{ // We are not generating a static page here:
$redirect = '?redirect_to=http:%2F%2Fliberty.hypermart.net%2Fcgi-bin%2Fblogs%2Findx.php';
}
elseif( isset($edited_Blog) )
{ // We are generating a static page
$redirect = '?redirect_to='.$edited_Blog->get('dynurl');
}
else
{ // We are in a weird situation
$redirect = '?redirect_to=http:%2F%2Fliberty.hypermart.net%2Fcgi-bin%2Fblogs%2Findx.php';
}
