Using the login system of PunBB.

Hi!

Thanks for your help. I included the common.php now.
But how can I use a variable to check if the user is logged in / if the logged in user is member of a special user group?

And:
If you login at the board and than check the website (other pages with the common.php included) - do you stay at the status "logged in"?

Thanks!

Ok, thanks for your help so far.

At the moment I have a problem including the board into my normal website design.

I have got an index.php for my design, and at the content part I have a switch where I include content parts of my page. For example, the script checks index.php?section=contact and includes at that position the content of a file with a contact form.

Now I included the common.php in the file index.php and want to include the board at the content area if the variable is called "board". But when I want to include the board/index.php, this error appears:

What is wrong?
I only found an explaination to include in the PuBB template, but I want to do it the other way around.

Thanks a lot!

I only included the common.php once in the index.php. The define/require is only once at the top of index.php.

How do I include generell content (not the board)?

At the place, where the content should be displayed is this code:

<?
switch($_GET['section']){
case "news": include("news.php"); break;
case "links": include("includes/links.php"); break;
default: include("news.php"); break;
}
?>

So, if you type in index.php?section=links you see the page with the links. Now, based on that, I want to include the board:

case "board": include("board/index.php"); break;

PunBB is in the dictionary /board/. But if I run the index.php with index.php?section=board the error in my last post appears.

common.php is included only once - at the top of index.php.

Thanks!

Okay, i see. I've corrected the code:

<?
if($_GET['section'] != board) {
define('PUN_TURN_OFF_MAINT', 1);
define('PUN_QUIET_VISIT', 1);
define('PUN_ROOT', './board/');
require PUN_ROOT.'include/common.php';
}
?>

But now, when I try to open index.php?section=board, the following error appears:

I don't exactly know what it means, but I think the script is missing the common.php.
What is wrong?

Thanks a lot!

That code is incorrect

if (!$pun_user['is_guest'] && $pun_user['g_id'] != 5)
{
}

or

if ($pun_user['is_guest'] == false && $pun_user['g_id'] != 5)
{
}

You put the == false within the ], which is wrong.

That error message and the defined path in that code above would appear to be contradictory.
