Help! Login form

  • May 6, 2010

I have a login system that works great when the application, userloginform, forceuserlogin, etc are in the same folder.

I would like to have the main page of a website, say sample.com have a login form. If the login is correct, that it redirects to

a subdomain, such as sample.com/members.

This is my current login form. I am assuming that the action needs to change, but I have no idea how to pass the username and password to the sample.com/members/forceuserlogin.cfm to log the user in.

Any thoughts? I am a beginner to CF, so any help would be MUCH appreciated. Thanks!!

<table width="239">

      <cfform  name="LoginForm" format="html" timeout="10000"  method="POST" preservedata="Yes" action="#CGI.SCRIPT_NAME#" >

        <tr>

        <td width="26" rowspan="4"></td>

        </tr>

        <tr>

 

          <td width="117"><p>Username</p></td>

  <td width="80"><cfinput name="username" type="text" width="75"></td>

    </tr>

        <tr>

        <td width="117"><p>Password</p></td>

        <td><cfinput name="password" type="password" width="75"></td>

        </tr>

<tr>

<td colspan="2" align="right"><cfinput name="Submit" type="Submit" value="Login" ></td>

    </tr>

      </cfform>

    Under your CFForm tag the Action attributes should be calling the action page that process the UserID and Password.

    From the action page you should have a query to verify username and Password something like this:

    <CFQUERY name="UseridQuery" datasource="UserTable">

    SELECT * FROM User

    Where username='#Form.username#'

    and Password='#Form.Password#'

    </CFQUERY>

    You then should have an if statement to check to see if the query return a record is this:

    <CFIF UseridQuery.RecordCount is 0>
    This section you do error checking to have them enter the correct username and Password.
    <CFELSE>
    Here is where you will let the user pass and display the page you want the users to see by using   <CFLOCATION url="display.cfm">
    </CFIF>

    Hope this help!!
