Frame Refresh

gx30uk

Hi, I am creating a website made up of frames & have a few coding problems. I have a login section in a left frame that once the user logs in/out freshes itself to display the users details if logged in or the login box if loggin out, but is there away to get a second page to refresh when the user logs in/out although mainly out. I believe this is the code of the logout link

<a href="<?php echo $phpbb_root_path; ?>login.php?logout=true&redirect=../Forum/mods/phpbb_fetch_all/examples/login.php">Logout</a>

I want it so that one someone logs out it also refreshs the frame called "mainFrame"

Is this even possible & if so, how?

you could simply point your "logout" link to a new frameset:

<a href="<?php echo $phpbb_root_path; ?>login.php?logout=true" target="_top">Logout</a>

Something like this should work

<head>
<script language="Javascript">
function redmain()
{
  mainframename.location.href = "main frame page URL";
}
</script>
</head>
<a href="<?php echo $phpbb_root_path; ?>login.php?logout=true&redirect=../Forum/mods/phpbb_fetch_all/examples/login.php" [B]onClick='redmain();'[/B]>Logout</a>

or if there are only two frames.. you might want to use devinemke's idea

hope this helps

Hi Tommy, everyone, thanks for responding, Your solution is doing what i want, but not fully. Instead of opening up in the mainframe, it opens up in the left frame obscuring the login details page. Additionnally, using the same principle i what the main frame to display the forum once someone successfully logs in. i.e. i need the left frame to keep displaying the left frame php file & the mainframe php file be refreshed.

Find the code below for the php section of the script.

<!-- USER -->
<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bordercolor="#FF0000">
  <tr> 
    <td bgcolor="#FF0000">&nbsp;</td> 
    <td width="100%" align="center" background="/webimages/newsbg.gif" bgcolor="#FF0000"><span class="cattitle"><font color="#FFFFFF" size="2"><strong>User 
      Control</strong></font></span></td> 
    <td bgcolor="#FF0000">&nbsp;</td>

If you are able to help, Thanks in advance.

okay let say the code u posted is login.php
and your frames page may look like

framepage.html

<frameset cols="*,*">
<frame name="leftFrame" src="login.php">
<frame name="mainFrame" src="view.php">
</frameset>

Altering your login.php

<head>
<script language="Javascript">
function redmain()
{
  parent.mainFrame.location.href = "view.php";
}
</script>
</head>
...
..
.
<a href="<?php echo $phpbb_root_path; ?>login.php?logout=true&redirect=../Forum/mods/phpbb_fetch_all/examples/login.php" onClick='redmain();'>Logout</a>

Wat this code does is...
Loads Login.php with logout = true in left frame and refreshes mainFrame with default page in it(here it is view.php)

or you can do something like this:
Altering your login.php

<head>
<script language="Javascript">
function redmain()
{
  parent.mainFrame.location.href = "view.php";
}
</script>
</head>
[B]<body onLoad="redmain();">[/B]
...
..
.
<a href="<?php echo $phpbb_root_path; ?>login.php?logout=true&redirect=../Forum/mods/phpbb_fetch_all/examples/login.php">Logout</a>

This refreshes the page in mainFrame everytime login.php is loaded in leftFrame so does the same job and also applies for your additional case when user logs in successfuly

Is this wat u asking for?

Hi, I tried the second option & it worked a treat. That was exactly what i had in mind, apart from my mind was incapable of figuring out how to do it, so thanks.

No doute i will be back on here soon, but until then...Thanks.

Hi again, I have posted a new thread, but seem to be attracting little attention and as the problem is retlating this script i thought i would be cheeky & see if you would mind continuing with your support. Everything works fine now & all links redirect pags to be opened up in the "mainframe", apart from if someone presses the login button without any data in the username/password boxes or the data is incorrect, the invalid or inactive screen opens up on the left frame, instead of the main frame. I have tried placing target statments everywhere but can not figure this one out, are you able to help. The url is www.gx30.co.uk/Version2

Once again thanks for your help previously & hopefully in the furture
🙂

tommynanda

I've seen your other post... you posted different code than wat u talking abt... post all the codes related.. wat I mean is I couldnt find "You have specified an incorrect or inactive username, or an invalid password." in your code... where is this?

Hi Tommy, I managed to figure it out all by meslef 😃 the offending code was in form section of the page as i had miss a target="_self" & now the problem is solved. Thanks for all your help.

<form action="<?php echo $phpbb_root_path; ?>login.php" method="post" target="mainFrame">
Username:<br />
<input type="text" class="post" name="username" size="20" maxlength="40" value="" /><br />
Password:<br />
<input type="password" class="post" name="password" size="20" maxlength="25" /><br />
<input type="checkbox" name="autologin" checked="checked" />
auto login<span class="gensmall">
<input type="hidden" class="mainoption" name="redirect" value="../Forum/mods/phpbb_fetch_all/examples/login.php" />
</span><br />
<div align="center"><input type="submit" class="mainoption" name="login" value="Login" /><br />
<a href="<?php echo $phpbb_root_path; ?>profile.php?mode=sendpassword" target="mainFrame" >I forgot my password</a></div>
</form>
