Hello, I'm using Template 89 from the free templates from the Zymic site. One of the reasons why I chose this template is it's look and the login area. This is a good template. Thanks to the designer and coder for putting this template together!
However, I now have a question: How can I use the login box area from the index page and have it be able to login the user to the forum from there? Here's my forum: http://vtplan10.uuuq.com forum: (PHPBB3) http://vtplan10.uuuq.com/forum This site is for school. I'm getting this ready for next year. (Sept. 09). EDIT: Yes, I did read the Registration & login forum topic, and I don't think it applies here. Correct me if i'm wrong.. EDIT2: here's the topic link i read: http://www.zymic.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=4034 |

thx swordz, but I'm not using .php as my homepage, it's .html
Here's where I found how to login outside of the forum-- http://wiki.phpbb.com/External_Login this worked, but only to login to the forum. I now need to find some way to make it show basic info after logging into the forum EDIT: you can see what i did by clicking on the link in my signature. I want that login box at the top-right to show basic info after logging in to the forum. Any ideas? Note that i use html-not php-as my homepage file. |

Without php this is not possible.
Change your homepage file extension to .php. Once you've changed all the incoming links, it should work as it currently does. swordz |

No - without the php tags it assumes everything is html. This then allows you to put some php code in though.

Swordz, the link you gave me earlier was a bit confusing, so i looked around the phpbb forum a bit and found this topic. It helped me out, and i also asked them to help me out a bit.
For all those people who uses this (or any other template that has a login box somewhere in the template, I think this should solve your problem! |
