Vanishing Login Details

[JimRixon]

Please go to http://www.cheekymonster.net/ and click login. Use the Account Number: 9999 and the password: 9999 to login.

You are now at the top of the catalog and your login details are displayed at the top of the page.

Now click 'home'

Same page but no login details to be seen. Can anyone help me to solve this?

Kind regards,


Jim Rixon

Is this an NT server?

The home screen is just that the INDEX page of the catalog but when you are logged in you get the pages coming from a cgi bin.

When I ordered and vieed the cart the log on details were there. Could be something to do with relative cgi-bin URL's

Yes it's an NT server.

So if using NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBHOMELINK just sends me to the root of the catalog, do I need to point the home button somewhere in the CGI-BIN?

Or is it a case of adding some code to the 'Home' page that checks for a logged in user?

I thought the code:

<Actinic:NOWSERVING/><Actinic:CURRACCOUNT/><Actinic:LOGOUT_SIMPLE/>

was supposed to check for the user!?

Thanks again,


Jim

The problem is that your home page link points to

http://www.cheekymonster.net/acatalog/

Rather than

http://www.cheekymonster.net/cgi-bin/ss003962.pl?SECTIONID=index.htm&NOLOGIN=1

...which is the link that will take people to your front page without logging them out. A standard URL has the effect of losing the logged-in status of the customer.

Try entering the above URL into the 'URL' field of the 'Home Page Link' in 'Design | Options | Miscellaneous'. That should fix it.

Fantastic!

That did the trick. Thanks a lot.

Kind regards,


Jim
