Most cookie user folders allow the customization of the login dialog. Make it a redirect to a page that handles your global (for PHP, Zope, ...) login.
This may pop up a login dialog or perform an automatic login based on already available login information.
The login action is expected to have some variables (e.g. "__ac_name" and "__ac_password"). Let your login page come back with these variables set -- voila.
Right, I think this is what I tried to do. I add a CookieCrumbler, and replace the standard login_form DTML Method with a script like this: <code> req = context.REQUEST if req.has_key('came_from') and req['came_from']: dest = req.resolve_url(req['came_from']) req.set('__ac_user', 'bob') req.set('__ac_password', 'builder') return dest(REQUEST=req) else: raise AttributeError, "Didn't know where you came from." </code> This doesn't work - I'm guessing there's at least 2 problems: 1. req is not the original request (i.e. the one that corresponds to 'came_from'), so I'm passing an inappropriate request object to the destination object. 2. dest may not be directly callable, so I should perhaps be calling dest.index_html(REQUEST=req) in some cases How do I get around this? Thanks, Felix.
