Redirect with cookie set

[carl2782]

Hi everyone, love the script!

Can anybody help me, I'm trying to set up a site with this script and once someone is logged in and the cookie is set, if they then go to the homepage of the site again, login.php comes up with a blank page. I'm using login.php in a frame, do you think that would matter?

Cheers
Carl

Just thought I might mention also, I have tried to modify the part of login.php which relates to verifying the cookie. I changed the end of the script to this:

 // check if cookie is good
  $found = false;
  foreach($LOGIN_INFORMATION as $key=>$val) {
    $lp = (USE_USERNAME ? $key : '') .'%'.$val;
    if ($_COOKIE['verify'] == md5($lp)) {
      $found = true;
      // prolong timeout
      if (TIMEOUT_CHECK_ACTIVITY) {
        setcookie("verify", md5($lp), $timeout, '/');
      header('Location: '
             . ((REDIRECT_PREFIX != '') && (strpos($REDIRECTS[$login], 'http') !== false) ? '' : REDIRECT_PREFIX)
             . $REDIRECTS[$login]);
      }
      break;
    }
  }
  if (!$found) {
    showLoginPasswordProtect("");
  }

}

?>
But that just seems to redirect me the homepage of the website, not to my users' page. If anyone wants to see where it's happening, it's at http://banffconcierge.6te.net

Sorry to post 3 in a row, couldn't seem to delete or edit the other posts!

I've managed to get it to redirect me to the redirect prefix that is set in settings.php by having this:

header('Location: '
             . ((REDIRECT_PREFIX != '') && (strpos($REDIRECTS[$login], 'http') !== false) ? '' : REDIRECT_PREFIX)
             . $REDIRECTS[$login]);
      exit();

immediately below where it verifys the cookie in login.php. But I can't get it to redirect to the page set in users.php... Please help, I'm a bit of a rookie at this. Thanks!

Script should have been redirecting as is, no changers were needed. I think the problem is somewhere else. Did you change a login form? Could cause issues if changed incorrectly.

Hi, which is the definitive solution for this issue, blank page?

Thank you.

Have you set the redirect_prefix parameter in settings.php?
This needs to be the full URL up to the the slash before the redirect page..

e.g.  page redirected to = welcome.php
redirect_prefix should be = http://siteaddress.com/

full page URL = http://siteaddress.com/welcome.php

The white page is a problem for nearly everybody who uses this script. It is best to always link to the login.php page using the logout parameter to always log a user out before returning to login.

e.g. link to login.php with = login.php?logout=1
