texte = I want it so that if an admin type tries logging in with a bad password, then he is redirected to another (help) page... where he has the option (among others) to click a link to go back to the original login page and try again. So the protection code at the top of that original login page must not redirect if he is trying again. This I can do with the below code, but what I haven't figured out is how to cause the redirect to kick back in and send him back to the help page after [x] more of his bad attempts to get the password right. Maybe this is impossible. Any ideas?(as the below code is now, once he uses the link to go back and try again ...a href=login.tmpl?retry=yes... he gets stuck on the [authenticate]. He can use the back button, but can I automate it?) ________[showif [url][password][/url]![url][Decrypt seed=thetree][lookup db=wzdb/some.db&lookinField=Handle&value=[URL][username][/URL][!] [/!]&returnField=Pass¬Found=NotFoundAmigo][/Decrypt][/url]][hideif [URL][retry][/URL]=yes] [REDIRECT PassHelp.tmpl?no_cache=[date %Y%m%d%m%S]] [/hideif][authenticate (Use back button for help)][/showif] ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
