How to keep logged in users in.

Hi to all.

Can anyone suggest how to keep logged in users in.

I have created a login page.
Then a logged in page or welcome page.

When you log in, everything works fine but if you click on a few links to
browse the site then click on the login page again it brings you back to the
beginning and you need to login again.

Is there an option that if you are logged in and you click on the login page
it lets your right in or says you are already logged in??

Any help would be great.

Use session cookies.

There might be better tutorials out there, but that is the one I know of. Hope this helps.

You would normally use cookies for this. When they log in, you write a
cookie saying they are logge in. Then on the log-in page, you read this
cookie, and, if they are already logged in, you skip that page and send them
on to the page in question.

The page in question would also read this cookie to ensure that the person
is, indeed, logged in.

Are you using the standard DW login user behavior? If so, it will create a
variable to track the logged in user (when using ASP, it's a session
variable called MM_Username). Use this variable to selectively hide/show the
link to the login page - if the variable does not exist show the link to
login; if the variable does exist (indicating the user is already logged in)
show a link to log out instead.
