Adding a login component

[Daryl Rose]

Charles,

Thanks for the info. I understand exactly what you are saying. The error
that I posted came from the served page within Wampserver. It did not come
from the local published NOF output. This is why I think that there is an
issue with the login component. Now that I can publish locally to
Wampserver and duplicate my server environment, I can trouble shoot better
than the way that I was previously.

The odd think is, I can open this php script in MS Word and it views just
find.

I opened a service ticket with NOF, but I have yet to hear from them. My
guess is it'll be a few days, if I even hear from them.

Thanks.

Daryl

Interesting.

I must be used to seeing it differently because the last time I debugged
any PHP code it was from a remote Unix server (thus my comments).

You could be right on that.

I know what you mean.

Like so many debug errors (in different languages and platforms) when the
actual error was a line above the reported one, it can drive you nuts!

Just wanted to be sure.

That is one of those things that can drive you crazy if your not aware of
it<g>.

FWIW, never save a script from Word - it would add all sorts of crap to the
document

Your best bet is get a copy of NotePad++ (free) or some other PHP capable
editor.

Word could easily trash a script (or any other non-Word file).

Let us know how it goes.

Take care,

Charles

I normally use VI or VIM on my windows machine. I just happened to right
click on the .php script and opened it with Word, just because I could, :-)
That is how I learned that it would run in Word. I just found it
interesting, thats all.

I don't have much hope that I'm going to hear back from them. Its been my
experience that after a persons buys an app from a company, they tend to
forget that you're the customer and blow off any support. I bought EZround
a couple of years ago, and when I had a question on how to use it, I posted
the question here instead of opening a service ticket. Your reply was:
"open a service ticket". Your customer service is far superior to theirs.

Would anyone know of an Open source login solution? I did a search of this
list and found a few others who have had issues with the login component.
Nancy O. suggested a couple of solutions, but they cost and the organization
that I'm building this site for can't afford any extra costs. If I can't
get this login component to work, then I need to find another solution, and
I hope to be able to find a open source solution. I did a search on
sourceforge.net but couldn't find anything.
Would anyone here have any suggestions?

Thanks.
