'Remote' login to Article Manager Can't Post
I'm sure this has been brought up elsewhere, but I thought I'd post it here all the same.

This code allow you to offer your site visitors a way to login to Article Manager from any page on your website. Just place this code into any of your webpages - and change the action attribute of the form tag to point to your admin.cgi - and you're done!


<form method="get" action="http://www.yourdomain.com/path/to/admin.cgi">

Name: <input type="textbox" size="10" name="id">
Password: <input type="password" size="10" name="pw">
<input type="hidden" name="login" value="1">

<input type="submit" value=" Login ">

</form>

Hello Ben ..

Thanks for the tip.

--------------
Sure you can spell it, but do you get it?

Ben,

A quick question I have been meaning to ask along this same line.

Is it possible when logging in this way or doing an automatic login for say a writer to hide the username and password from the address bar like the main AM login interface does?

Thank You

JohnH

Hi JohnH,

Thanks for your question! :)

You can hide the username and password from the address bar by changing the method from GET to POST.

So in your form you would change this:

<form method="get" action="http://www.yourdomain.com/path/to/admin.cgi">

To this:

<form method="post" action="http://www.yourdomain.com/path/to/admin.cgi">

Let me know if this helps of if you have any other questions.
