I am a complete non-techie with basic web design skills and little HTML. Now I have created a static website and as luck would have it, my hosting provider bluehost offered an automated RC install. I have gone ahead & offered free email to all my website members. Now I need to do the following for which I need your help and would be highly obliged for any/all assistance:

1. How do I integrate RC login form box into a corner of my homepage, so that users can immediately login when they visit?
2. How can a logout bring them out automatically back to the homepage?
3. How can I add my website colors & logos to the webmail interface?

Pls help..I have gone mad looking for specific answers..

Yeah, what he said!!!

Same problem here - would like users in my phpBB web site to be able to jump straight to their RC email account and bypass login, and be able to jump back.

Can this be done??? Securely, of course!! ;)

Thanks for any help, much appreciated.

Yes, .../skins/default/templates/login.html. You can use the html code or the java code. I think the java code is much more quicker(for me, it redirected the page quicker). You can test both. Just insert one of the codes anywhere in the section of the login.html file.

Hey Yann
thanks a lot...but, a bit of a trouble with this form. It does not accept the password when entered. I end up with the RC login page with a password error message. When I log in there, it works. kinda irritating.
I have PM'd you a test email ID and the domain details. Could you check & help?
thanks in advance!

The code that I am using:

Email:
Password:

do note that the host value has been changed as well. Is that correct?

Yann/or anyone else...

The password apparently is not being passed to the email log in - the user name is being passed just fine, but I get a login error because no password is there--- login fails---

also, if you install #2 code, I notice that trying to return to the forum from RCM, this code only sends you back to the login page of the forum--- not the page you came from---

so, it goes something like this...

user visits forum site, and logs in--- user wants to check e-mail, so user fills in name and password into form, and is taken to RCM-- password fails - invalid login --- form immediately closes and sends user back to login page, not to the page that they cam from--- any ideas / any fix???

Thanks!

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 "
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---

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.

-Roland

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-----

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

Web Mail User Name:
Password:

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

Array ( [_user] => [email protected] [_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...

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.

-Roland

vEry Thanks

Roland!!!

You da man!!

I tried everything else and was about to give up--- many thanks to you-- works perfect---

now I just gotta go back and add back the code that brings you back to the forum---

anyway, I owe you one!!

THe password is not being transfered in mine either!

when they logout... it will go http://www.domain.com/mail/?_task=mail also... can i make it go straight to the website mainpage instead?

[please help me how.

your question already has been answered in this thread. modify ./skins/templates/login.html as adviced.

How can I change the text for the submit button?

@blackace:

<input type=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot;w h a t e v e r&quot;>


P.S.: Basic HTML/JS/CSS/PHP/MySQL coding skills are required to use RoundCube!

Thanks rosali!


I haven't written code in a long while and I forgot what the syntax was.

Hi


If you still need do embed your site with forms, but you don't want/can't do it, using php, or something like it, - you can use Managing your objects together (http://www.mytaskhelper.com)
- this is free online database.

You can create any from you need, like Mailing List, make it public and add widget code to your site.


Please, let me know if you have any questions about it.

I also had a problem where the Password "looked" like it wasn't being passed by the form.  But it turned out I had misunderstood what should go in "myhost" in the following line of code of the original posted form.



The "myhost" value in the above code needs to be set to the "email" server.  I had assumed that I needed to enter my RoundCube web server for that value.  My email server is not the same device as my RoundCube web server.  I hope this helps.
