Integrate RC login form in a box within my homepage..static HTML website

**rosali** · 05-16-2008 05:48 AM

The form code was originally posted by me in another topic in this forum. It should work. I use it myself.

If you are on IIS maybe you have to use: action="http://path_to_rc/index.php?_task=mail".

Also put into index.php at the very top just after "<?php"

print_r($_POST);
exit;

[debugging code ... remove after tests again !!!]

This will show you what was posted.

Hi Roland, thanks for trying to help, but I still have a problem-- I did what you suggested- the debug outputs all of the variables as expected - username, password, and domain--

but when you run the code, no password is inputted into the password field - you can just type in the password and it works, but that kinda defeats the whole idea--

by the way, the variable "My Domain" means to insert my own forum domain ie "myforum/forums.com", right?

any ideas?? I hate to give up on this as it is really cool in design and function -- just need to get the password to take--

thanks again, Sam

Sorry, I did not read carefully ... Give me some details about the forum you use. Maybe there is a cookie to pick up and to pass into the password field as hidden value?

Hey, Roland--- thanks for answering--

My forum is a pretty standard phpBB - using the prosilver style- not sure what else to tell you about it---

This code will automatically login a forum user f.e. "roland" as roland[at]gratisemail.dk. The Link Webmail in the footer navigates to RoundCube.

If this is what you are looking for, we have to modify roundcube slightly to do nothing while sitting in the forum iframe. Otherwise the messagelist will be loaded for each forum request.

Forgott to mention:

#1- clean PHPBB cache folder. Otherwise you'll get the cached template stuff and it won't work.
#2- PHPBB does not store the password in a way that it can be decrypted. So I had to do the modification by Javascript in the template code. It could be aswell done in the forum php code, if we modify the database and store the forum password in a way that it can be decrypted.

**sfreemanRCM** · 05-25-2008 10:06 PM

OK, I surrender, cannot get the password to input into the login page---

just doesn't make sense- the username passes just fine--- the password passes in the debug---

BUT it does NOT pass into the password field on the login form and the login fails-

Kamalk was apparenlty having the exact same problem-- thought for sure it was just a simple problem with the code---

frankly, I do not know this code, but I do not see where in the code the password is being passed--- thanks anyway-----

**sfreemanRCM** · 05-27-2008 01:51 AM

Some pretty basic code--- from my forum, I would like to let the user login to our email---

<li class="rightside">
<form name="f" action="http://MyForum.com/Mail/?_task=mail" method="post">
Web Mail User Name: <input name="_user">
Password: <input name="_pass" type="password">
<input name="_action" value="login" type="hidden" />
<input name="_host" value="http://MyForum.com" type="hidden">
<input type="submit">
</form>

When I add debug code to show outputs (see below), I get the expected results, i.e. Username, Password, and domain---

Array ( [_user] => myname@mydomain.com [_pass] => 12345 [_action] => login [_host] => http://mydomain.com )

What actually HAPPENS is that the username passes to the user name field, BUT the password does NOT - and login fails--- at that point you can just type in the password and login succeeds---

Got to be something simple, right??
PS - Changing host to 'http://mydomain/Mail/' doesn't help---

Thanks for looking...

**rosali** · 05-27-2008 05:49 AM

Remove '_host' input field or insert a valid hostname (localhost ... serverx ... or whatever FQND). Currently you have a URL there. Check what in main.inc.php is in $rcmail_config['default_host']. Same should be here.
