Hi, I am extremely interested in using this product. I am a noob at webdesign and programming, so I purchased a package without any databases. I searched around until I found YaBB!

Anyways, I have a login box on my homepage of my site that I want to be connected with my forum. This way new users will be tempted to register for the forum because of the nice and pretty login box, while my base users will be able to sign in without an extra link.

Can anyone give me a tutorial of any kind? I read that other post, but I didn't really understand where I should put the code.

All help is appreciated!

here is the login form html Code:

        <form action="http://*yourURL*/yabb2/YaBB.pl?action=login2" method="post">
		<div style="clear: both; padding-top: 4px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 370px;">
			<span style="float: left; width: 33%; text-align: left; margin-bottom: 5px;">
				Username:<br />
				<input type="text" name="username" size="15" style="width: 110px;" tabindex="1" />
			</span>
			<span style="float: left; width: 33%; text-align: left; margin-bottom: 5px;">
				Password:<br />
				<input type="password" name="passwrd" size="15" style="width: 110px;" tabindex="2" />
			</span>
			<span style="float: left; width: 33%; text-align: left; margin-bottom: 5px;">
				Logged in for:<br />
				<select name="cookielength" style="width: 117px;" tabindex="3">
				<option value="1" selected="selected" >Keeps</option>
				<option value="60">1 hour</option>
				<option value="180">3 hours</option>
				<option value="360">6 hours</option>
				<option value="720">12 hours</option>
				<option value="1440">24 hours</option>
				</select>
			</span>
		</div>
		<div style="clear: both; margin-top: 5px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 370px;">
			<span style="float: left; width: 49%; margin-bottom: 5px;">
				<input type="submit" value="Login" tabindex="5" accesskey="l" style="float: left; width: 175px;" />
			</span>
			<span style="float: left; width: 49%; margin-bottom: 5px;">
				<input type="button" value="Forgot password?" style="float: right; width: 175px;" onclick="location.href='http://*yourURL*/yabb2/YaBB.pl?action=reminder'" />
			</span>
		</div>
        <input type="hidden" name="formsession" value="

what  goes here?

" /></form>


find
*yourURL*

and replace it with your url

I'm not to sure about the formsession data.  I know ithe value changes everytime I refresh

my guess would be to go to your forum and log out ... right click and select "view source"  then search for

name="formsession" value="

take the value you get (a long string of numbers and letters) and plug it into the form html.

you can change most of the html in the form to fit your needs

hope this is helpfull

Thanks you are helping me so much. I made a lot of progress because of your code, but I'm having a problem now.

If I type in a username and a password, a message displays that tells me that the field only accepts numbers. I then just used numbers to see what will happen and I get the same message.

This is my current setup for my login box.

Code:
<form action="http://www.newshotstudio.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?action=login2" method="post">
	  <div id="field_username"> <strong><span>Log in:</span></strong>
	    <input type="text" name="username" />
	  </div>
	  <div id="field_password"> <strong><span>Password:</span></strong>
	    <input type="password" name="passwrd" />
	  </div>
	  <div id="button_enter">
	    <input type="image" src="images/userlogin_enter.gif" alt="Enter" class="button" />
	  </div>
	<input type="hidden" name="formsession" value="A4BACBC6BAC0C46FA1C1C1AFB3B8688DB5B7B9B0564786"
	
what goes here?

" /></form>

I skipped the cookie length because I don't know how to program it without messing up my template.

This is my first website, so I am very new to design. I actually just downloaded a pre-made template and modified it object by object.

Can you fix it for me?

try this ...

Code:


    <!-- Start of User Login -->
    <div id="userlogin">
	<div id="userlogin_header">
	  <h2><span>User Login</span></h2>
	</div>
	<form action="http://www.newshotstudio.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?action=login2" method="post">
	  <div id="field_username"> <strong><span>Log in:</span></strong>
	    <input type="text" name="username" />
	  </div>
	  <div id="field_password"> <strong><span>Password:</span></strong>
	    <input type="password" name="passwrd" />
	  </div>
	  <div id="button_enter">
	    <input type="submit" src="images/userlogin_enter.gif" alt="Enter" class="button" />
	  </div>
	    <input type="hidden" name="formsession" value="73899A95898F933E7090907E8287375C8486887F255037" /></form>

    </div>
    <!-- End of User Login -->


I changed

Code:
	    <input type="image" src="images/userlogin_enter.gif" alt="Enter" class="button" />


to

Code:
	    <input type="submit" src="images/userlogin_enter.gif" alt="Enter" class="button" />


and your formsession value=

I think qersys was right ... the number value it's looking for is the cookie length ... so give this a try to see if it logs in and then we'll work on making it look pretty

Code:

			    <!-- Start of User Login -->
    <div id="userlogin">
	<div id="userlogin_header">
	  <h2><span>User Login</span></h2>
	</div>
	<form action="http://www.newshotstudio.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?action=login2" method="post">
	  <div id="field_username"> <strong><span>Log in:</span></strong>
	    <input type="text" name="username" />
	  </div>
	  <div id="field_password"> <strong><span>Password:</span></strong>
	    <input type="password" name="passwrd" /></div>
	  <div id="button_enter">
		  Logged in for:
		<select name="cookielength" style="width: 117px;" tabindex="3">
		<option value="1" selected >Keeps</option>
		<option value="60">1 hour</option>
		<option value="180">3 hours</option>
		<option value="360">6 hours</option>
		<option value="720">12 hours</option>
		<option value="1440">24 hours</option>
</select>
&nbsp;&nbsp;
	    <input type="image" src="images/userlogin_enter.gif" alt="Enter" class="button" />
	  </div>
	    <input type="hidden" name="formsession" value="73899A95898F933E7090907E8287375C8486887F255037" /></form>

if it helps ... you could also set a default value for cookie length as a hidden input.  that way you don't need to have it affect your template.  If You opt to go that way

use this
Code:

   <!-- Start of User Login -->
    <div id="userlogin">
	<div id="userlogin_header">
	  <h2><span>User Login</span></h2>
	</div>
	<form action="http://www.newshotstudio.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?action=login2" method="post">
	  <div id="field_username"> <strong><span>Log in:</span></strong>
	    <input type="text" name="username" />
	  </div>
	  <div id="field_password"> <strong><span>Password:</span></strong>
	    <input type="password" name="passwrd" />
	  </div>

<input type="hidden" name="cookielength" value="1" />

	  <div id="button_enter">
	    <input type="image" src="images/userlogin_enter.gif" alt="Enter" class="button" />
	  </div>

	    <input type="hidden" name="formsession" value="73899A95898F933E7090907E8287375C8486887F255037" /></form>
	<div id="userlogin_links"> <a href="http://www.newshotstudio.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?action=register" id="register"><strong><span>Register >>></span></strong></a> <br />
	  <a href="http://www.newshotstudio.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?action=register" id="notregister"><strong><span>Not Registered Yet?</span></strong></a> </div>
    </div>

Oh my god!

Thank you so much. I was worried that I would have to remove that nice little feature. It works perfectly now!

Is there anything that I can do for you? Anything you need help with? Some of my members enjoy making banners, so I could get someone to help with that.

Thank you!
