I have created a new menu with tabs for my portal. In order for this to work I had to create a frameset with the top frame dynamically changing tabs via CSS + Javascript and the content frame pointing to In-portal and hiding the top page template (pagetop.tpl). I am curious as to how I should link to the in-portal modules(home, directory, news, forms, my account)? The problem I am having is that once a user has logged in to in-portal, and then clicks any of the tab links in the top frame it logs them out. How do I modify these tab links so that session state is maintained? If the user clicks the checkbox "Remember Me" when logging in, this maintains session state. Is there a way to not give the user the option to "Remember Me" and enforce session state until they click logout? http://www.conform2scorm.com/index.html [Edited By JHaag75 on 04/01/05 1:36:35 AM]

Hello,

The simplest way would be to change:


to



in "default/misc/right_login.tpl" template. Also, you might want to get rid of "Remember me" language tag right after that.

Thanks.

Thanks Dimitry. The other question I have is are my links for the in-portal modules correct? The forums are loading up the content from my directory and I would rather create my own forum categories. What should the target hrefs be for each module? Directory: http://www.conform2scorm.com/in-portal/index.php?env=-inlink/index News: http://www.conform2scorm.com/in-portal/index.php?env=-innews/indexNews Forums: http://www.conform2scorm.com/in-portal/index.php?env=-inbulletin/index My Account: http://www.conform2scorm.com/in-portal/index.php?&dest=my_account

Hello,

Sorry about a delay!

First three ones are good, but the last one needs some adjustments in order to function properly.

The "My Account" link (on top of the page in default In-portal) in build dynamically based on logged in status. In case if user is not logged in the URL for My Account will automatically create a link to the login page, otherwise if already logged in take user to My Account page. In your case, you want to have a static link aside from In-portal parser. I don't want you to change the templates yourself in order to have this fully working, so I try add this simple change to coming release. I promise to give you a hand in case case if this won't be included in the new release.

Thanks.

Also, when I click "MY Account" now it displays the home page. What is the link to properly display the My Account settings once properly logged i? Do I need to create a new php page for my menu (top frameset)? What includes should I use to dynamically bring up the My account? Or can I modify the link to query the My Account page. Right now it is: href="http://www.conform2scorm.com/in-portal/index.php?&dest=my_account. Is there some other way to query the my account page instead of it bringing up the home page?

Thanks Dimitry! Could I do the same thing for properly displaying the forums? With the link I presently have, http://www.conform2scorm.com/in-portal/index.php?env=-inbulletin/index, when clicked it displays the category/directory root, forums, and news. I really just want to display the forums section and not the others.

Dimitry,

Since the upgrade my "directory" or categories link no longer displays the categories. I have checked permissions a million times and realized that the upgrade was the culprit. Since I'm using a frameset, how can I display the categories for guest users? My link to the directory only displays links and not categories:

http://www.conform2scorm.com/index.html

The link to "Directory" from the top navigation frame: http://www.conform2scorm.com/in-portal/index.php?env=-inlink/index

I could change the link to : http://www.conform2scorm.com/in-portal/index.php?env=-inlink/index:m0-1-1-2:l0-0-1-:n0-0-0:bb0-0-1-1-1-0-1&

But wouldn't this no longer work once users are logged in? Is the "m0-1-1-2:l0-0-1-:n0-0-0:bb0-0-1-1-1-0-1&" randomly generated for every user? Is there a standard way we can link to the root of each module without having future upgrades impact an implementation that uses a frameset? It would be great if I could use your example above for a frameset and do something like this:

http://www.conform2scorm.com/in-portal/index.php?env=-inlink/index:m[home]

Ignore the fact that the portal displaying in the bottom frameset. I haven't edited pagetop.tpl to hide the old navigation yet.
