Well, I think after about six hours I have it figured out now, and there were a bunch of changes, but it does seem to work so far. These changes were all made AFTER I made the changes in Widgetz mod referred to in the url listed above, and I somewhat ignored the "to" part of passing the info around.. I have only tested it with one id so far, but until I can do more, I thought I would post all the changes here to see if someone else might be able to make sure it all appears correct. I have only tested it in NN so I don't know if there are any problems in IE that Widgetz mentioned. And I'm not an expert programmer, so no guarantees :)
first for the programs
in add.cgi
in sub main - add this
my $new_id = $in->param('ID');
after this
my $s = $in->param('s') || $in->cookie('s');
and change this line
print $in->redirect("$LINKS{db_cgi_url}/user.cgi?to=$encurl") and return;
to this line
print $in->redirect("$LINKS{db_cgi_url}/user.cgi?to=$encurl&ID=$new_id") and return;
in user.cgi
in sub main add this line
my $new_id = $in->param('ID');
after this line
my $dynamic = $in->param('d') ? $in : undef;
change this line
&site_html_login_form ( { Username => $username }, $dynamic);
to this line
&site_html_login_form ( { Username => $username, ID => $new_id }, $dynamic);
change this line
&site_html_signup_form ( { Username => '', Password => '', Email => '' }, $dynamic);
to this line
&site_html_signup_form ( { Username => '', Password => '', Email => '', ID => $new_id }, $dynamic);
change this line
&site_html_validate_form ( {}, $dynamic);
to this line
&site_html_validate_form ( { ID => $new_id }, $dynamic);
in sub login_user
add this line
if ($in->param('ID')) { my $new_id = $in->param('ID') };
after
my $pass = $in->param('Password');
comment out these lines
if ($in->param('to')) {
print $in->redirect( -cookie => [$session_cookie, $user_cookie], -uri => ("$LINKS{build_root_url}" . $in->param('to')) );
}
and add these lines instead
if ($in->param('ID')) {
print $in->redirect( -cookie => [$session_cookie, $user_cookie], -uri => ("$LINKS{build_root_url}/cgi-bin/add.cgi?ID=" . $in->param('ID')) );
}
in sub signup_user
add this line
my $new_id = $in->param('ID');
after this line
my $in_r = &cgi_to_hash ($in);
in sub validate_user
add this line
my $new_id = $in->param('ID');
after this line
my $hits = $db->query ( { Validation => $code, ww => 1 } );
in sub validate_user
add this line
my $new_id = $in->param('ID');
after this line
my ($in, $dynamic) = @_;
change this line
&site_html_validate_success ($user, $dynamic);
to this line
&site_html_validate_success ( { ID => $new_id }, $dynamic);
now for the templates
in login.html
add this after the main <form> tag
<%if ID%>
<input type="hidden" name="ID" value="<%ID%>">
<%endif%>
and change the link for registering to add the ID like this line
Click here to <a href="<Û_cgi_url%>/user.cgi?signup_form=1
<%if ID%>
&ID=<%ID%>
<%endif%>
">register</a>
add to signup_form.html after the main <form> tag
<%if ID%>
<input type="hidden" name="ID" value="<%ID%>">
<%endif%>
in signup_success.html
change the link for validating like this line
need to enter a <a href="<Û_cgi_url%>/user.cgi?validate=1
<%if ID%>
&ID=<%ID%>
<%endif%>
">validation code</a>.
in validate_form.html add this after the main <form> tag
<%if ID%>
<input type="hidden" name="ID" value="<%ID%>">
<%endif%>
in validate_success.html
after this line
<p>Thank you, your account is now activated!</p>
add this
<%if ID%>
<p>Click <a href="/cgi-bin/user.cgi?login_user&ID=<%ID%>">here</a> to login and add your link.</p>
<%endif%>
And that should do it. Again, if anyone else is experiencing the same problems and finds that this solves them, please let us know.
