So I'm using this script for a switch-user widget I have in my header, always displayed right below my forum's logo.

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
        function switch_accounts() {
        jQuery.get(document.getElementById('logout').href, function() {
        jQuery.post('/login', 'login=1&username='+document.getElementById('switch_uname').value+'&password='+document.getElementById('switch_pass').value, function () {
        window.location.reload();
        });
        });
        }
        </script>

Something in that function is making it so that the login only works on my forum's home page. When I click the "switch user" button on any other page, nothing happens.

Can someone who knows this code please tell me how to tweak it so the login works on every page?

Here's my forum:
illustrare.forumotion.com

Where did you add this code?

overall_header template.

Please post your forum's link.

Could you send me in a PM 2 test accounts to test your code?

So Gray wasn't able to help. Can someone who really knows coding step in?

i have this code as a widget 

Code:

  <script type="text/javascript">
        function switch_accounts() {
        jQuery.get(document.getElementById('logout').href, function() {
        jQuery.post('/login', 'login=1&username='+document.getElementById('switch_uname').value+'&password='+document.getElementById('switch_pass').value, function () {
        window.location.reload();
        });
        });
        }
        </script>
        Switch user:<hr />
        <input id="switch_uname" type="text" /><br />
        <input id="switch_pass" type="password" /><br />
        <input type="button" value="Switch user" onclick="switch_accounts();" /> 

Does it switch accounts on every page besides the index?

i think so i havent use it to test it

Could you please test it and get back to me?

at the moment iam not in a laptop and iam not using it to test it, so better wait for someone else to help you or you could try to test it yourself as a widget (the easiest way)

The script is the exact same as mine. It doesn't work. I guess I have to wait until someone can give me another script or help fix mine.

Hello,
As it seems your javascript tries to retrieve a null or missing element:



Please check if you have all the necessary elements in HTML. Otherwise you have to modify your javascript to work with your HTML elements.

What do you mean by having all the necessary elements in HTML? How do I do that, exactly?

Hello,
One of your templates using the below code:

Code:

<div class="switchuser"><script type="text/javascript">function switch_accounts() {jQuery.get(document.getElementById('logout').href, function() {jQuery.post('/login', 'login=1&username='+document.getElementById('switch_uname').value+'&password='+document.getElementById('switch_pass').value, function () {window.location.reload();});});}</script><input id="switch_uname" size="6" type="text">&nbsp;&nbsp;<input id="switch_pass" size="9" type="password">&nbsp;&nbsp;<input value="Switch Character" onclick="switch_accounts();" type="button"></div>

This code contains some errors because the element'switch_uname' and / or 'switch_pass' elements are missing in your HTML code of template. Probably is the index_body template. For this reason the get.ElementById function returns error.
