Linking back to phorum from my own pages

Hi Phorum!

Thanks for this project. Loving the admin section for this forum!

I'm integrating Phorum to one of websites (in the folder "forum") and want to use it's user login system for my member section.

When I link back to phorum from my own pages, phorum shows as if I'm logged out (Login-Link, no topics shown). When I type in the forum url or click on a link within phorum, I'm logged in.

I'm guessing I don't transfer the session variable in the url FROM my own pages, right? How do I do that?

I'm sorry to bother you, sitting over a day on this now. I read about the Quick Authentication and plenty info on integration. Still! Can't link back and see that I'm logged in!

I just noticed that the login is being transferred to the next page when I use only relative links. I included my navi from several folders. Is there any way I can use absolute urls in my links??

I can only guess that you are switching the domain when using absolute urls like from www.domain.com to domain.com or vice versa.
Otherwise the session would stay active (if you are using cookies).
Stay on the same domain and you are fine.

Hey Thomas. Thanks so much for your response!

You are right, I entered the root of my site without "www" in Phorum's admin section, but my own links had it. Hmmm silly me :)

Together with the Quick Auth everything works perfectly now! Thanks again for providing this forum!
