    IE6.0 update fix for aMember Pro

    I was reading the thread about the problem with the latest IE update, I see how to fix the paid version, but how do I fix the free version. I don't have the advanced settings in my control panel. Your help is appreciated. thanks.

    Edit file amember/config.inc.php
    replace line
    $config['display_member_pw_urls'] = 1;
    to
    $config['display_member_pw_urls'] = 0;

    Edit file amember/login.php
    replace lines (it may be exists and may not, depending on your version):
    $redirect = sprintf("http://%s:%s@%s%s",
    $_amember_user['login'], $_amember_user['pass'],
    to one:
    $redirect = sprintf("http://%s%s",

    i changed that but.....

    It didn't work, I have tried it from 2 different computers and it didn't work.
    I changed the 1 to a 0 in the config.inc.php file. Any other suggestions?

    ps....when I clicked login my username and password still come up in the url

    Please contact support@cgi-central.net with your FTP info.
    It may happen if you use old aMember Free version, we have no immediate fix for this situation yet.

    waiting.....

    Is someone going to contact me or should I try another membership program. My members are getting upset and I don't blame them. I know I'm using the free version, but this doesn't give me much incentive to upgrade.

    thanks, Pat Lovell

    Apology to Alex

    Alex,

    Thank you for fixing this problem, I understand it is Microsoft's fault and my
    hostility should be directed at them and not you. I sincerely apologize for my
    statement above. You are doing a great job with the amount of customers you have to take care of. I will say this, your service will definately help my with my decision to upgrade. :D

    Cheers Alex

    Thanks for the solution. Worked for me.

    My question is why does Microsoft always have to f%&* things up?

    Long live Open Source!!

    Pat, you should be ashamed of yourself. When you were in a bind, you were very aggressive towards the support team. Then, after they fixed your problems for free, you were very nice and appologetic. The truth is, if you have the pro version, the fix has already been announced to all members. I think that Alex should be given some compensation by you and people like you, since you are a non-paying customer of the free version and he still helped you fix your problem. Maybe you can't afford the pro verison, but you could certainly send him $25 via PayPal or something for all his free help.

    I know from experience that Alex does the best he can, and also offers his support to anybody who needs it, including people like you who are making money off of his free version.

    Alex, it's time you dumped the free versions! You have enough following and "word-of-mouth" referrals, that you shouldn't have to deal with people that are in this for free. The free version is not helping you sell more pro versions at this point is it?

    $5 says that Pat will NEVER upgrade to the pro version!

    My 2 cents! And Blunt too!

    Second pop up window in IE 6.0 error

    Hey Alex, we've been using your scripts for awhile, and they're great stuff.

    On the IE 6 fix, it keeps popping up a second window and you re-enter your username/password and it allows you in just fine.

    Any way I can get it to pass the value so that you do not have to fill in the username and password twice.

    I can send you FTP info in an email if needed.

    Thanks!

    I believe there is no understanding what the IE "fix" was. I will explain: it is now impossible to avoid popup login box while you are using htpasswd protection. It is not aMember-specific, it is impossible.

    Hopefully, we have another protection options, which work on most (not on any!) hostings and in most (not any!) situations. I'm now talking about mod_rewrite+php_include protection method, described in aMember Pro manual.

    It works for CPanel-based webhosting or dedicated server, if you are serving HTML/images content. It may not work for another situations.

    As you guess, it is available for Pro version only.

    Having same problem too...

    Hi alex..

    I to am struggling... I do not understand what the fix did other than screw up my install..

    anyways.. I edited the two files you said, and when my members try to log in, they are getting the redirect, then rather than the members area, they are getting this:
