phpBB: Automatically login after registration?

In phpBB 2.0.1, I don't want users to have to (1) register and then (2) login. I'd like them to be automatically logged in after they register. I tried the Quick Register mod, but that doesn't let me do the 1-step register+login.

Thanks for any links to previous discussions! I've searched but couldn't find this exact topic.

Have you tried something like a link?

You know something like:

Thank you for registering please click here to continue!

Thank you for registering please <a href="http://www.yournomain.com/SSL/login.php?user=myusername&pass=mypassword">click here</a> to continue!


You could also have the page auto forward them with the link.

Just a thought

That helps, but it still requires two steps. If I n't find a better solution, this IS an improvement. Thanks for the idea.

You could do something like this:



So this way as soon as they register it will redirect them to the login page with their username and password.

Again, that does help and I will do this for now. But I would just like to avoid the two-step process of registering, then logging in. Once you register, a lot of sites already automatically log you in. I like the convenience. (I am posting anon. because I lost my password, I am "toomuch").

I don't understand your problem then. If when They click on Register. You put that code into the register.php, or whatever it is. And it will automatically log them in! They don't have to click on anything. It will just redirect them to the site logged in!

Darn, why do I have to be such a moron? h3rb, I though you posted the same thing as l3vi. I will take more time to read things in the future. Thanks for not yelling at me. I appreciate your help. This has been bugging me for two weeks!

Ok if you what users to login in from outside phpbb read this site. http://www.ajquick.com/programming/phpbb/tutorial/

Now is you are going to have your own register page outside of phpbb then just tie your register form to the phpbb users table. I did this on my site. If you need help email me theres a couple thing you got to watch out for like md5 ing the password and register the next user id.

Hi.. the code can put on which file?

Thanks.

I understand what you are talking about. And i would also like this. On what im working on i want someone to register, the go directly to where they can edit there profile.
