Simple phpBB3 Remote Login
If your Forum is accompanied by a Website, you’ll probably know it can be a challenge to guide your guests towards the board. Over the past few years I’ve seen countless members ask how their users can log in to the forums from the Website. As far as tutorials go there aren’t a great deal of them around, and the ones that are around usually go one step too far and use complicated PHP scripts to integrate the session etc.
However, it’s possible to use a simple HTML code to log the members in and redirect them to your board:
<form method="post" action="/phpBB3/ucp.php">
<fieldset>
<label for="username">Username:</label> <input type="text" name="username" size="10" title="Username" /> <br />
<label for="password">Password:</label> <input type="password" name="password" size="10" title="Password" /> <br />
<!-- Optional (Auto Login) <label for="autologin">Remember me:</label> <input type="checkbox" id="autologin" name="autologin"> <br /> -->
<input type="submit" name="login" value="Login" />
</fieldset>
</form>
Just copy & paste it straight into your HTML Website. Simple as that. Ensure the path to ucp.php is correct and away you go. Your users will be automatically directed to your board’s index page.
