You can easily extract HTML code from your YaBB SE board index page.
Well, here's it:

Code Select Expand

<form action="http://your_server/path_to_yabbse/index.php?board=;action=login2" method="POST">
<table border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" align="center" width="100%">
  <tr>
    <td valign="middle" align="left"><font size="2"><b>Username:</b><br><input type="text" name="user" size="15"></font></td>
    <td valign="middle" align="left"><font size="2"><b>Password:</b><br><input type="password" name="passwrd" size="15"></font></td>
    <td valign="middle" align="left"><font size="2"><b>Session Length in Minutes:</b><br><input type="text" name="cookielength" size="4" maxlength="4" value="60"></font></td>
    <td valign="middle" align="left"><font size="2"><b>Always stay logged in:</b><br><input type="checkbox" name="cookieneverexp" checked></font></td>
    <td valign="middle" align="left"><input type="submit" value="Login"></td>
  </tr>
</table>
</form>

I tried this code, changing the URL - it appears to work, I can see how many PM messages I have... but when I try to read them it reverts me back to guest.

If I move of the main index of the board into a category - it also reverts me to guest.

any ideas?

thats pretty cool, is there any way not to make it take you to the forum but stay on the website and say "Welcome [username] You have *** messages" ?

Add on that. Tried it, too. Its cool but takes one immediately into the YaBB board.

There is another interesting thread, which I'm trying out at the moment, this one: How to integrate YaBB into my PHP website started by Zef Hemel.
