Re: [SM-USERS] Login

[Jason L. <ja...@bl...>]

Hi Jonathan,

Just after a bit of help please. Um, well I tried the suggestion below, =
but can't work out how the $key is generated. You see, we have usernames =
and passwords within our intranet database. These match the usernames =
and passwords of our IMAP mailboxes. We have a button within the =
intranet which automatically logs us into to email by going straight to =
the "redirect.php" file. Now, we also have the Notify plugin on our =
homepage which tells us how many e-mails we have in our mailboxes. I =
have tried passing the username and password from our database to this =
page by putting in "session_start()" at the top of the page. If I echo =
the variables just after the session_start then they display to me fine, =
but if I move these echo lines to just after the 2 includes, then I get =
nothing as if something in one of the includes are replacing the 2 =
variables in my session?? Either that or they are being ignored. I took =
a look at line 84 in notify.php and I have found the code you are =
talking about but unable to use it to generate the $key which notify.php =
seems to require? SO, at the moment we have to login by clicking the =
e-mail button first which automatically logs us in, and then go back to =
the homepage to see notify.php plugin working. Hope you understand whats =
going on here.

Thanks in advance!
Kind regards,

Jason Lemm
