Hello folks!

what I'm trying to do is to use a login via flash to provide the information to login on xoops.
But I'm not getting it to work... the only thing I got running is to have the variables send together with the url but then I'm not able to login and get the wrong password/username error page.
As I look into the template file for the login procedure I need to have three variables to be able to login:

- op to identify the operation (login)
- uname --> the username
- pass --> for the password

When I click my submit button the url looks like:
Quote:

How can I handle that? I don't understand quite anything aboiut flash so I don't know ho to send hidden variables?

But how can I ...

a) change the checklogin file so that it can read the url?
b) make the variables not be visible on the url since I'm sending the user's password?

I looked up here through the forums and search function, but I couldn't find anything that helped me...
Thanks in advance,

any ideas?

Hi RedEye.

This will not work as you are submitting the required op, uname and pass variables through a GET, which XOOPS will not read.

You will need to submit the above via a POST. I don't use Flash so have no idea on how to do a POST submit in Flash. Try looking through the Flash help for POST submits.

I would be surprised if it can't be done.

RedEye,

not sure about doing this in flash but should be straight forward enough to just make a HTML file on your XOOPS site called whatever*.html:
















Then of course, just make a hyperlink in your flash app to yoursite.web/whatever*.html .... Not sure if you can encrypt your flash to safeguard the link or not but may be a mute point as the end-user will end up with the link info in their cache just by default. More could be done to secure this I'm sure but if you keep the whatever*.html file on your site you can keep working out the security details and change the password periodically as needed without having to resend/provide the app with new info each revision.

Hope this helps.. I've been pulling my hair out doing user group test 1 login at a time and well its tedious to say the least. This should be able to be manipulated to generate new accounts with a little modification just look at the register form in user.php file to work out the details.

Cheers
