Installation, Update & Configuration / loggedin_user_name

« on: March 24, 2003, 03:13:42 AM »

Hi I am currently intergrating 4images with a shoutbox I coded. The shoutbox uses php and mysql.

As a way to stop just anyone posting in my shoutbox I made it so users had to register with 4images before they could post anything. In other words I have made use of the {if user_loggedin} etc so is the user is not logged in they get a message telling them to login. If they are logged in they are presented with the form in which they can freely post messages.

I have this working great, they do not have to put in their name as what ever name they are logged in as, appears above their messages which makes it easy to track and ban troublemakers.

The bit I am haveing trouble with is inserting the logged_in_username into my mysql database. at the moment I have a hidden form field:

Code: [Select]

<input type='hidden' name='name' class="news" size='20' value='{loggedin_user_name}'>

This works fine and inserts the username correctly. But I find it a bit of a security risk as someone could easily 'view source' edit and change the name inside the 'value' bit. what I would like to do is get rid of that hidden field and have the username taken from the 4images database.

Here is my shoutbox code:

Code: [Select]

<?php
if &#40;$shout&#41;&#123; 
if &#40;$name == !"" && $message == !""&#41;&#123;
$ip = $REMOTE_ADDR;
$info = $HTTP_USER_AGENT;
$add_date=time &#40;void&#41;;
$name = stripslashes&#40;$name&#41;;
$name = htmlspecialchars&#40;$name&#41;;
$message = stripslashes&#40;$message&#41;;
$message = htmlspecialchars&#40;$message&#41;;
mysql_connect&#40;"username etc"&#41;; 
mysql_select_db&#40;"shout"&#41;; 
$result=MYSQL_QUERY&#40;"INSERT INTO shouts &#40;id,name,message,timestamp,ip,browser,block&#41;".
"VALUES &#40;'NULL', '$name', '$message', '$add_date', '$ip', '$info', '$block'&#41;"&#41;;  
echo "<META http-equiv='refresh' content='0;URL=/4images/index.php?template=shout'>"; 
&#125;
else &#123;
echo "<META http-equiv='refresh' content='0;URL=/4images/index.php?template=shout'>"; 
&#125;
&#125;
?>

as you see the $name bit relates to that hidden form field I showed you earliar. Is there any way I can replace that $name bit with the actual logged in username data taken straight from mysql? my shoutbox resides on the same mysql tabe as 4images does so there is no need to connect twice.

Please help me here as I am very stuck and this will finish my site off nicely. I am not very good at explaining things so if theres something you don't understand, just ask me and I'll tell you.

Thanks in advance

Mods & Plugins (Requests & Discussions) / Thumbnail creation

« on: October 11, 2002, 04:27:59 AM »

Hi, is it possible for the script to auto create thumbnails for outside linked pictures.

for example: a user wants to add a picture, but instead of uploading, he/she links an image file from another server by adding the relevent info into the URL field. when he/she clicks submit, I would like the script to create the thumbnail for that image instead of displaying the default jpg icon.

can this be done? would be a great feature.

Installation, Update & Configuration / user_logininfo.html

« on: October 04, 2002, 03:40:57 AM »

Hi, I've had this script about a week now and I love it to bits. I am currently coding my new template which is very cool and is taking a long time.

I have a problem though. On the user_logininfo.html page theres the bit which says

Code: [Select]

{lang_loggedin_msg} Now we all know that this is the bit thats prints

Logged in as: YOURNAME

What I want to do is this:

Code: [Select]

<FONT class=recent>Logged in As:</FONT><BR>
<FONT class=normal>YOURNAME</FONT> In the bit which reads "YOURNAME" I would like the name of the user currently logged in. Just like the original would say. Now I've tried putting {user_name} in the YOURNAME bit, but it doesnt work as I get a different name on every page. It only seems to display the correct name on the control panel page.

Can anyone help me with this? what bit of code do I need? it's had me confused for hours and hours.

Thanks in advance,
Carl - http://www.uksoreeyes.co.uk/home/index.php
