Placing Login Box on my Home Page

backend · January 14, 2006, 03:22:37 AM

There was an old topic about this, but it was more than 120 days old so it was no longer used.

I basiclly want to add a login box to my home page, so people can log into the forum right from the home page.

What do I have to do to accomplish this?

I was given this sample code, but dont know what to change in it and where to place it?

Quote<?php
require_once("{$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']}/forum/SSI.php");

//if person is in membergroup that should be able to see this then do stuff, else log in.
if (in_array(9, $user_info['groups']))
{
$who=$context['user']['name'];
//snipp bunchacodea
}
else
page_login();

//my own wrapper
function page_login()
{
echo <<<EOT
<html><head><link REL="stylesheet" TYPE="text/css" href="pband.css">
<title>First United Methodist Church of Pflugerville: Praise Band Uploads (Login)</title></head>
<body>
<a class=h href="../">Pflame Home</a> <a class=h href="index.php">Praise Band Home</a><p>
<center>
<table border=1 cellpadding=3 cellspacing=0 width="97%"><tr>
<td valign=top bgcolor="#ffffff" align=center>
<div class=title>Praise Band Uploads</div>
<div style='margin-top: 70px;'></div>
EOT;
ssi_login('../praiseband/upload.php', 'echo');

echo <<<EOT
<p style="margin-bottom:300px;"> </p>
</td></tr></table>
</center> </body></html>
EOT;
}

I would also know how to do this . . . heheheh heh, I will try the code given to you and play with it. Maybe I can get lucky and make it work.

I'm just learning PHP from the people in this awesome forum so chances are they have a better solution we'll just have to wait for the proz to explain things to us.
