This pertains to Perl Desk users only or adventurous coders:

I have a question about taking the log-in form and putting it on different pages. I'm currently building a website where i want people to log in on a page (http://www.ebaysellers.net/helpdesk.html)

I can't seem to get this working - what am i doing wrong? They can register an account fine, but they can't log-in. I think the log-in push box isn't working...any ideas?

Its your cookies.

Solution:

In your opening page, in the form put in the following two lines:

<input type=hidden name="remember" value="yes">
<input type=hidden name=lang value=en>

Should do the trick.

You can delete the accounts "testtest" and "test1234" that was me.

I tried that - but 1 it already was there, 2 i put it between the <form></form> tags to no avail. I will copy the source into here...

The line </form> is in the wrong place, it needs to be much lower down.

You can just copy and paste this AS IS, it should do the trick.

Get back to me if it doesnt do the trick, and I'll give it a good looking into.

So, I added it, and it still doesn't work - i get brought to the perldesk page (try it with username: demo/password: demo)

http://ebaysellers.net/helpdesk.html

Ive narrowed it down to one of two things.

Either its the cookies in the helpdesk.cgi
OR
its the referrer - if the helpdesk.cgi is not called from /cgi-bin/helpdesk/helpdesk.cgi - it doesnt accept the login.

My money is with the latter at this point, but Ill need to test it further. Leave it with me, I will try to get you a solid answer by the morning.

Cracked it!

http://64.246.38.19/ebaysellers.html

test it, if it works, just view source, or save as, and then replace your file on your server with this one. If you need me to put the html here, or email you it, just let me know.

Ive tested it with 3 different browsers, all cookies deleted, and it works, and you get straight in.

As for an answer, I believe it was the submit button value, however I've changed so many items in there, honestly I lost track.

Thanks so much! I will do it later tonight (around 10PM - 8 hours from now)
