Hello,
I am wanting to require a SMF login in order to access any part of my website except http://www.mysite.org/index.htm. More Specific, I want to require that the login takes place at my custom .php page which I used SSI.
For example: http://www.mysite.org/login.php
My site already exists and it has hundreds of directories, pages, etc, so it's not very feasible to edit and add a 'require SSI.php' to every page.
That being said - is this easiest accomplished with a .htaccess file and to require every user has to pass through http://www.mysite.org/login.php in order to access all other pages of the site? If so, can you help me with the syntax for the .htaccess file?
I hope I'm making sense, and I sincerely appreciate all your help!
Not really, it is best to actually add it to your pages, as unfortunate as that seems.
Do your existing pages share a header or other common file?
Arantor & Kindred,
I hope you're both doing well and I again thank you for your assistance here.

Sometimes. Most are random 1995-era-looking HTML files. But after spending all day thinking about it - I think I want to integrate SMF throughout, so I'll undergo the tedious task of editing the files. So, I need help with this one file, then I should be able to get the rest:
I figured this out by reading the online manual wiki:
<?php
require("path.to./forum/SSI.php");
if ($context['user']['is_guest'])
{
ssi_login();
}
else
{
ssi_welcome();
}
?>And here is one of pre-existing HTML files:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>mysite.org - welcome</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY TEXT="#000000" BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" LINK="#000000"
VLINK="#000000">
<P><TABLE BORDER="0" WIDTH="100%" HEIGHT="100%">
<TR>
<TD WIDTH="800">
<P ALIGN=CENTER><CENTER><TABLE BORDER="0" WIDTH="600">
<TR>
<TD WIDTH="509" HEIGHT="67">
<P> </P>
<P><a href="http://www.mysite.org/warning.htm"><img src="http://www.mysite.org/images/mysite.jpg" border="0">
</P>
</TD></TR>
</TABLE></CENTER>
</TD></TR>
</TABLE></P>
</BODY>
</HTML>
So, I simply added the two pieces of code together and changed the file extension to *.php as so:
<?php
require("/home1/mysite/public_html/mysite/forum/SSI.php");
if ($context['user']['is_guest'])
{
ssi_login();
}
else
{
ssi_welcome();
}
?>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>mysite.org - welcome</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY TEXT="#000000" BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" LINK="#000000"
VLINK="#000000">
<P><TABLE BORDER="0" WIDTH="100%" HEIGHT="100%">
<TR>
<TD WIDTH="800">
<P ALIGN=CENTER><CENTER><TABLE BORDER="0" WIDTH="600">
<TR>
<TD WIDTH="509" HEIGHT="67">
<P> </P>
<P><a href="http://www.mysite.org/warning.htm"><img src="http://www.mysite.org/images/mysite.jpg" border="0">
</P>
</TD></TR>
</TABLE></CENTER>
</TD></TR>
</TABLE></P>
</BODY>
</HTML>
However, in the case just above - the output displays BOTH the SSI login fields and the HTML display.
What I am trying to accomplish is that if the user is a GUEST then the GUEST sees nothing but the login or registering screen.
either include the HTML within the if/then/else
<?php
require("/home1/mysite/public_html/mysite/forum/SSI.php");
if ($context['user']['is_guest'])
{
ssi_login();
}
else
{
ssi_welcome();
?>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>mysite.org - welcome</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<?php } ?>
?>
or include a die statement
If you want to force a login, just:
<?php
require("/home1/mysite/public_html/mysite/forum/SSI.php");
is_not_guest();
?>
at the top before everything else.

Perfect. That does the job because I can simply redirect the login regardless where the user enters the site. Thanks again.
