Problem about login when add a php file

[santamaria]

Dear all member!

I am trying to add an include php file after a users password and username are verified
but before the forum does anything else. I need the file to run just once on initial login.

I've found the switch $method = login section in ucp.php but can't seem to patch in there.
Can someone point me at a suitable file/position right after the login is verified
(I seem to be going round in circles with this)

Doesn't anyone know how the login system works?
Every time I patch in it just doesnt work - I must be missing something.

after a users password and username are verified

Do you really mean that? Or do you mean after making sure both are correct?

just once on initial login

Are you aware that this won't happen for auto-logins?

I've found the switch $method = login section in ucp.php but can't seem to patch in there

What have you done, what did you expect and what happened instead? Hint: /ucp.php can't be any help, because it only calls login_box() which already redirects the HTTP request on successful logins and I wonder why you haven't noticed that when inspecting that function...

Doesn't anyone know how the login system works?

I know. But maybe we even need to know the authentication system (database, or Apache, or LDAP, or...), based on what exactly you want.
