Embeding Login Page to Site

[zachatk1]

I think I finally figured out what my problem is! I have this huge login system that I got and I think it's designed so that in order to login it has a popup window come up. Well I want embed this page so the user can login right their on the page. Before I was using include but that screws up all the submit buttons. Anyone know of a simple code to embed a page?

Why not create a simplified form that you can use instead? I think you can use include(); to call the file and it could work depending on how the file is coded.

[fortnox007]

include() should do the trick really. Why did your submit buttons got screwed? Also a nice thing to add is

on your main index.php you set a variable with define(). And on the loginform you place a check if the variable is set, that way people can't directly access your form.

[zachatk1]

I'm not exactly sure why the submit buttons don't work when having the file (main.php) included in the site. It displays everything nicely but when you click the login, register or any form submit button it brings you to a unknown page. It's supposed to refer back to the same page with this referrer variable code thing for when you login or if there is a mistake it says that your username isn't correct or something so it's important to have.

 

The login system only actually works when you go to the link main.php so I was thinking if I embed like a window into the site it would act the same and actually work.

 

EDIT: Also when using the include, the page doesn't stretch, it acts like their is nothing there. Is there a way to work around this? I was thinking of just adding a bunch of <br> for a cheap work around to extend the body background.

[Elven6]

Can you post a sample of the code? I had a similar issue with a comments system previously that opened in a pop up, I tried to "embed" it but the form would break because of how the script would be called.

Here is process.php. It process's the login form.
