[Phplib-users] Re: Default access and a log-in box

[Michael F. <mai...@ya...>]

Maybe optimistically, I'm trying for case B!

The top of the page, and the log-in box (modified loginform.ihtml) show up,
but nothing below that. As you suggested, the mistake seems to be in calling
$auth->auth_loginform rather than echoing it ...

Anyway, now the archives are back, I'll follow the earlier thread and try
and work out exactly what should be going on.

Thanks

Michael
