Re: [SM-USERS] Login

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!
