This 'quick & dirty' hack basically lets a user login from any page they choose, using a bit of AJAX. Now updated to support latest version (9.1).

The updated code can now be found HERE, and requires the modified scriptaculous module to function.

Really nice! Only problem was the first time I clicked the link the window greyed but the box never showed up, had to refresh the page.

This basically lets a user quickly login from any page they choose, using a bit of AJAX. The only flaw is that you have to add an include line to any php page in the root directory you want users to be able to log in from (eg. index.php, sneak.php etc). There's probably a way around that, but i'll leave it for someone else to figure out. Installation instructions included in the zip file.

add the include to the bottom of config.php

That's too early to add the include, but adding it to smartyvariables.php should do the trick. Zip file updated.

nice add on to pligg!!!

However, I am getting an error when I tried it. I added everything. I am able to see the login box. I enter the username and password and when I click on the login button, I get a 404 Page not found error. If I refresh the page, everything is OK. The user is also logged in.

Not sure why I get the page not found error..

Hmm...not sure why that would happen to be honest. I did just update the zip file to include a couple of bugfixes in the thickbox.js itself, so you could try re-downloading and installing again.

It's quite a flexible little system and could easily be turned into other items such as a help system, with different links being called on different pages. You can call any image, html or php page you want in the box, making it quite versatile in terms of showing the content you want.

If someone not logged in tries to vote on an item, will this box comeup? Or will the browser take them to the login page?

Should do now. I updated it to support the latest version of pligg, and added in an example vote button to bring up the box if a user is not logged in.

Thanks reminds me of reddit style login warnings

Ok, I did something wrong, just not sure what yet:

I put this in my footer, just for testing:

<a class="thickbox" title="Login to Continue!" href="{$my_pligg_base}/login_box.php?height=150&amp;width=250">Login</a></p>

and this in my pligg.tpl just below the line that calls the template CSS file:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{$my_pligg_base}/thickbox/thickbox.css" media="screen" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="{$my_pligg_base}/thickbox/thickbox.js"></script>

But when I click the link in the footer I get this:

http://www.newsdots.com/login_box.ph...=150&width=250

Where did I screw up?

I already have thickbox installed on my pligg that I use for thumbs in posts, would this effect this mod?
