why do i have to login and then login again when i get to the forums? it just seems kinda pointless to me, but maybe rollie has some reason for it and yes i know theres an "automatically login" option but i spend alot of time on shared computers so i don't realistically have that option.

Well, see, I'm lazy, and while it is possible to hack phpbb to do logins from outside the forums, I've had more pressing issues to attend to =)

The fix involves setting the phpBB cookie to be site-wide so that all pages receive the cookie. Then, you add the following code to your site-wide initialization script:
Code: Select all
// http://www.phpbb.com/kb/article.php?article_id=143
define('IN_PHPBB', true);
$phpbb_root_path = '/path/to/phpBB/';
include($phpbb_root_path . 'extension.inc');
include($phpbb_root_path . 'common.'.$phpEx);
$userdata = session_pagestart($user_ip, PAGE_INDEX);
init_userprefs($userdata);
Optionally, add a function to determine if a user is logged in.
Code: Select all
function logged_in() {
global $userdata;
if($userdata['session_logged_in']) return true;
return false;
}
But Rollie already knew that.
