variables. But whatever works, I found that using the cflogin in MX was
much easier than writing my own, especially if you want to do several
things during login. Basically what I did was the following:
In my Application.cfm page I have the following lines:
<CFIF GetFileFromPath(GetBaseTemplatePath()) NEQ "Login.cfm">
<CFINCLUDE TEMPLATE="/MyEU/Login.cfm">
</CFIF>
Login.cfm is the following:
<!---
Page: Login.cfm
Function: Processes a users login to the MyEU site.
