Using Phorum logins

I use the following method of requiring phorum logins on my site in several places:

$pwd = getcwd();
chdir("../forum");
define('phorum_page', 'my_page');
include_once("./common.php"); 
phorum_require_login();
chdir($pwd);
unset($pwd);
echo "hi ",$PHORUM["user"]["username"];

It works as long as the person is already logged into the forum. I have problems though when they access a page in another directory without being logged in:

It tries to redirect them to login.php in the wrong directory. (thus giving a 404 error)

Any advice?

what is your HTTP Path set to in the General Settings?

path in general settings:

http://www.my_domain.com/forum



files with includes are in another folder like:

http://www.my_domain.com/other/include.php

Here is the (failing) redirect URL I get:

http://www.my_domain.com/other/login.php?0,redir=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.my_domain.com%2Fother%2Finclude.php%3F


If I simply change the first occurrence of "other" to "forum" in the URL, everything works nicely.

Are you using something like the automatic http_path module or the virtual hosting module? Those will dynamically try to find out the Phorum http path based on the currently requested URL. It seems like your setup is doing something like this.

Ahh. Yes, indeed. I am using the Automatic HTTP Path module.

I tried turning it off and the behavior changed slightly, but still broken. Now I get redirected to the correct login page, but when I have logged in it tries to return me to the page I came from within the forum directory, rather than the originating directory. Thus:

http://www.my_domain.com/forum/login.php?0,redir=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.my_domain.com%2Fforum%2Finclude.php%3F

What I need is this:

http://www.my_domain.com/forum/login.php?0,redir=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.my_domain.com%2Fother%2Finclude.php%3F
