Creating a Login template?

[thetakerfan]

I created a template for a login page that was basically the same page you get when you try to post something without being logged in, error_nopermission.
But I don't know how to call it from anywhere. I tried adding
$loginuser = gettemplate("loginuser",0);
to index.php and then trying index.php?action=loginuser, but that didn't work.
Can anyone tell me how to do this?

/me would also like to know how to call templates.

Anyone?

add this just before an if ($action=="blah") { line:

if ($action=="YOURACTION") {
eval("echo dovars(\"".gettemplate("YOURTEMPLATE")."\");");
}

Then call action=YOURACTION

I'm having a problem with mine, after the name and PW are entered, it just redirects back to the login page, and the URL in the address bar as the username and pass in it, although the pass is encrypted.

[ukliam]

Yep I had that problem I will look through the code I used and post it later.

Mine now redirects to the login_redirect template then the main page, is that what you are after?

[thetakerfan]

yes, but I couldn't figure out how to do it, I tried a couple things but none worked
the hidden "redirect" value in the HTML that is printed is blank, there is no value
in the template it has $url, but nothing is created.

anyone?
ukliam, can you help me out?
