You need to change the urls and cookie number in the scripts to match your own.

Tested on 6.7, it may work on other versions... I can't support those other versions due to lack of time tho

cool.... can I get one that phones the user if they fail to log in? For example they visit the page, but don't log in. Once their browser session ends they get a phone call that says, "Why the f**k didn't you log in?!"

I think this would be very helpful.

Thanks for this Allen..

Very nice. I was just asking for something like this. It is a lot cleaner than what I came up with. The next step would be to show private messages. I have not been able to get it working correctly in a htm or asp page.I see you set the "haspms" to 0 to turn it off.

Any chance of enhancing the PM part?

thanks guys, you're welcome

hopefully pm's can be worked out next

Ummm..

Note: You must change the cookie numnber

is this the same thing you did Ron? I haven't looked at your code in a while and am not sure This is about as basic as it gets

Allen, here's a version I had posted in the forum integration forum a while ago, a tad shorter.

I see, mine still has some extraneous stuff in it that should prolly be cleaned out

Hi
Has anyone had any problems with their pages not validating when using this code?

The validator at www.w3.org reports there being a closing "/script" tag when there isn't an opening "script" tag.

It suggests that there may be an unescaped character in the HTML embeded in the javascript.

I've tried escaping some of the closing tags, but really, I'm getting nowhere fast.

Any thoughts on this?

instead of the first line being
change it to

Thanks again Ian.
That works. But, I still needed to escape the three end anchor tags.

(Just pointing that out for anyone else with the same problem)

I updated the file with the quotation marks, it's kinda difficult to test the (x)html validation. Are you using xhtml 1.0 transitional or some other doctype to validate against?

Hi Allen
Sorry, I should have mentioned that I am still rooted firmly in the Stone-Age and am using...

"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

But hey - thanks for a great mod

Welcome

hhmmm.... it's been a few years since I've validated anything against that doctype. It *should* still be valid code, but I know there are times when you validate a page against 4.01 and it throws errors yet when you switch to xhtml 1.0 transitional the errors disappear.

I do have a PHP function that does the same thing if anyone might be interested...
