I want to use Jcow as sort of an overlying member network for my website, which mean integrating it with my current website. I am relatively new to PHP and support for this application seems really hard to come by, even the smallest tip would be greatly appreciated.

I am basically trying to put a div on a page that I wrote to be sort of a gateway into my site. Said div would display a login form to guests or a greeting to a logged in member. I have spent the last 2 days reading and reading all the source trying to figure out what to do.. this is what I've come up with, and it simply does not work.

[code]
<? if ($client['id']) {
echo '<div class="usermenu"><p>Welcome back!</p>';
}
else {
echo '
<div class="usermenu">
<form method="post" name="loginform" id="form1" action="[url][/url">http://monztersquad.com/index.php?p=member/loginpost">[/url]
Login:
<input name="username" type="text">
Pass:
<input size="10" name="password" style="width: 120px;" type="password">
<input name="remember_me" value="1" type="checkbox"> Remember me<br>
<input id="logIn" type="submit" value="GO" >
</form>
</div>';
}?>
[/code]

Any help at all would be AMAZING... I'm pulling my hair out.

Hi bit of a noob myself but this might help I just tested it and works mint if all you want is a login form somewhere on a page ...

[code]<div class="usermenu">
<form method="post" name="loginform" id="form1" action="[url][/url">http://monztersquad.com/index.php?p=member/loginpost">[/url]
Login:
<input name="username" type="text">
Pass:
<input size="10" name="password" style="width: 120px;" type="password">
<input name="remember_me" value="1" type="checkbox"> Remember me<br>
<input id="logIn" type="submit" value="GO" >
</form>
</div>[/code]

wow I just reread your post sorry mate if your looking for integration shes a hard road mate I havnt done myself but someone might have it involves database reconfig and a whole lot of stuff that just is way out of my league :)..

So good luck..

thanks buddy, I really appreciate your time. I mean I know it wouldn't be easy but I'm trying to start with the small things until I get familiar with the whole application. This is pretty much the determining factor of whether or not I purchase the pro version.. if the script can't do what I need it to I'm either gonna have to write one from scratch or find a simpler application with half the features...

Anyway, thanks again Switch. It seems like 90% of the advice on this forum is coming from you mate.

Anyone have any idea as far as what conditions I need to set in the statement?

if you write this in a module you need to change the echo to section_content or c

like section_content ('Hello World !')
c('Hello World !')

echo 'Hello world!' works only in your theme template files, otherwise Hello World! will show up somewhere on top of your page.
