Topic: Auto Login
Is there a way that i can do something like login.php?username=Tyler&password=userspassword or something like that in a link to auto login someone?
Re: Auto Login
Take a look in the login page: there should be a checkbox to log you in every time you go to the forum ;-)
Re: Auto Login
If you really must be able to provide the username and password via the URL, you can hack login.php to fetch the username and password from the PHP array $_REQUEST instead of $_POST.

Will the login page still work as it does, and with the new way?

Yes.

Re: Auto Login
Strange i cant get it to work, oh well.
Re: Auto Login
Here's how. Open up login.php and locate:
if (isset($_POST['form_sent']) && $action == 'in')
{
$form_username = unescape(trim($_POST['req_username']));
$form_password = unescape(trim($_POST['req_password']));and replace it with
if (isset($_REQUEST['form_sent']) && $action == 'in')
{
$form_username = unescape(trim($_REQUEST['req_username']));
$form_password = unescape(trim($_REQUEST['req_password']));Then, to login, you access the script via:
login.php?form_sent=1&action=in&req_username=USERNAME&req_password=PASSWORD

Re: Auto Login
but its wont be safe method know?
God wisely designed the human body so that we can neither pat our own backs nor kick ourselves too easily
Re: Auto Login
It will not be any less safe provided that people don't lose track of their "login URL".

Re: Auto Login
Can someone tell me why this wont work now?
EDIT:I have taken unescape away and it works now.
Still any comments would be good.
Re: Auto Login
I would assume unescape was a PunBB function in an earlier version which no longer exists?

I have no idea what unescape() does, but try replacing it with $db->escape()
Re: Auto Login
It works fine with "$db->escape()". Thanks!
