Topic: admin link

I am trying to create a link from the admin section of a site which opens up the administration of the forum without having to log on.
I have done it with a gallery with something like this:
<form action="http://www.mydomain.co.uk/forum/admin_index.php" method="post" name="form2" id="form2">
            <input name="Submit" type="submit" value="form">
       
          <input type="hidden" name="action" value="login" />
            <input type="hidden"  name="password" size=8 value="timspassword">
            <input type="hidden"  name="user" size=8 value="tim">
        </form>

This is not working sad
Anyone help with this
thanks

Re: admin link

Well, admin_index.php doesn't accept login requests tongue
You can submit to login.php and set redirect_url to admin_index.php

Oh, and I should mention that this is horribly insecure and depends on the user never changing passwords. You're better off integrating logins completely.
