RE: login application help requested
it looks like you need to overhaul the thought process here.
what i do for the protected pages on my site is have a custom tag call at
the beginning of each protected page. this is a simple check for a cookie i
have set (userid). if it's not there, then in the tag i redirect them to
the login page, with the page they attempted to reach as a URL variable.
Thusly...
login form (username password)
hidden field with URL.loc in it.
check their login.
if valid, send them to FORM.loc.
if not, error message.
if you need more, let me know.

Subject: login application help requested
I have a home page in which there are links both for public and private
pages. I want users with a password to be able to click on a private page
link, login, then be forwarded directly to that page. It is easy enough to
send them to a specific page, but I can't seem to "forward" them. This code
takes the user back to the login form.
The code I'm using is very simple and basic (which is probably the problem).
I've included it below. If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it. I've wasted

Re: login application help requested
what about something a little easier, given that all times after the first time will the SESSION.LoggedIn be true: the binary operation is surely faster than the IsDefined() function, yes? :) the other comment that it has to be part of an application.cfm is right, or at least an application.cfm equivalent (such as FuseBox's app_globals.cfm), and obviously you have to have used the tag to allow for SESSION variables in the first place :) you could also put any gross application 's within this loop too, thereby only having to set them once. (most people just put the 's in the application.cfm with no loop and so they get set and reset and reset everytime a page is called. For a high volume site obviously this makes a difference). Even in a non-high volume site it makes some difference. we had a site where only 1 or 2 people were logged in at once and not a heck of a lot of DB queries being done. In hitting the pages many times in a row, we noticed a 3-4% increase in speed by wrapping the 20-25 's inside such a loop. Although not scientific, I daresay to guess at least that savings would occur in a high-traffic site, perhaps substantially higher depending on what you do (or in this case, don't do) outside the loop. > You will never get out of that loop. > > First time in, > > > > > > this isnt defined, so you show login page then you submit to page to autheticate, but the application.cfm is run before that page as well. > > What you could do is include your authentication in the app.cfm > > Check there if good they are in if not send back. > -- Archives: http://www.eGroups.com/list/cf-talk To Unsubscribe visit http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists&body=lists/cf_talk or send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 'unsubscribe' in the body.
RE: login application help requested
You will never get out of that loop.
First time in,
this isnt defined, so you show login page then you submit to page to autheticate, but
the application.cfm is run before that page as well.
What you could do is include your authentication in the app.cfm
Check there if good they are in if not send back.

RE: login application help requested
I have a very customisable application that might interest you (I use it for
extranets, eg: http://www.abcb.gov.au/members/).
Email me back for the code.
Cheers!

Re: login application help requested
I don't think you need the cflocation. looks like it would loop indefinitely
after logging in.
