Login incompatablities

Is incompatablities a word?

..is now!

Philip, you're probably relieved that I was finally able to get my duel login happening, and trust me - I am too, but now I have a new problem.

When I get an email from the board saying that I have a private message, I get a message (once I've landed on the board) saying that I need to log in, even though I already am logged in.

To fix that, I edited the login (redirect) page for phpBB. I edited out all the login information (because I don't want anyone to log in via the board), and I added a link for the private message url.

So far, this would suffice. However, if the person really isn't logged into the board, then that link to the private message area wont work. The board takes me back to the page that I edited, (which now has a link to the private message area).

So! ..I added a second option: a link to the login page. So now,I have a page that says:

To view your private messages click "here".
Otherwise, you may need to "log in".

Now this is all good enough for me, or it WOULD be, but once the person logs in, they are redirected to the main page. The whole reason they wound up on the site in the first place was to view the private message that they have.

The problem doesn't exist with subsrcibed threads. So that's ok. It's just the private message email that causes this problem.

Oh, and I also edit out the uber login at the bottom of the forums, and the uber login in the forum header. So now, no one can log in via the forum.

I would assume that this problem may occur for all bbwrappers on all forums. You might like to check it out on other wrappers too.

I know it's not your intention to make files for other forum software, but if you can make a fix for this problem, you might like to add a few extra files in the "extra" folder with the download.

There are only 3 files that need changing in phpBB:

overall_header - for removing the head uber login
index_body - for removing the foot uber login
login_body - for removing login redirect page
