SSI results in full website

[locutusweb]

Hi,

I am playing with SSI. Basically I want a SMF login box on my own php pages. The weird thing is that I alway get the full blown forum website instead of the simple login box.

I used this example (Yes, the "require" is set correctly in my case)

Code Select Expand

<?php
require_once('/path/to/forum/SSI.php');

if ($context['user']['is_guest'])
{
ssi_login();
}
else
{
//You can show other stuff here.  Like ssi_welcome().  That will show a welcome message like.
//Hey, username, you have 552 messages, 0 are new.
ssi_logout();
}
?>

What am I overlooking?

I believe that you also will need....

global $context;

Sadly, no difference.

Tried this piece of code on a different SMF installation (same server) and it worked like a charm. I have ran a diff between both SSI.php's but there were no diffferences that could produce this behavior.

Does your forum require users to be logged in?

Yesss!!! And...?

And? If your forum requires people to be logged in at all times, SSI will bump them to the login page unless you specifically tell it not to.

Before you call SSI.php, add this line:

Code Select Expand

$ssi_guest_access = true;

That's it! Works great now.

Thanks Arantor and Kindred.

Marked as solved!
