How can I use 2 CFIF statements to send users to different locations? 1

[SteelDragon]

Ok, I have a problem that is two fold.
1) I have 2 CFIF statements (see below) and I want to use them to send a person to a location based on their membership in a group. So far CF picks up the first CFIF, but not the second. It immediatly goes to the CFElse if the first CFIF is not true. How can i do this where if one CFIF is not true, it goes to the second CFIF, and THEN goes to the Else if none of the conditions are met.

2) I have setup security on this site, and I want the session variables to allow a user to move from one page to another, I have it setup now so when the user logs in they are sent to a specific URL, how can I make this look at the requested URL, and then log them in and send them there instead of hard coding it? I have put example code for each below:


1)
<cftry>

<cfif CheckUser.WebCustomer is -1>
<cflocation url=&quot;../Scripts/cgi-bin/cgirdir.exe?PartnerFTP&quot; addtoken=&quot;no&quot;>

<cfif CheckUser.WebPartner is -1>
<cflocation url=&quot;../Scripts/cgi-bin/cgirdir.exe?CustomerFTP&quot; addtoken=&quot;no&quot;>

<cfelse>
<cflocation url=&quot;

http://www.olap.com&quot;

addtoken=&quot;no&quot;>
</CFIF></cfif>

2)
<CFIF SESSION.LOGGEDIN>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
self.location ='support_search.cfm';
</SCRIPT>
<CFELSE>
<CFOUTPUT>
<SCRIPT>
alert(&quot;Your login was unsuccessful because #Reason# Please try your login again.&quot;
self.location=&quot;login.cfm&quot;;
</SCRIPT>
</CFOUTPUT>

Hey Steel,

I think you want your second <cfif> to be a <cfelseif> statement which should work the way you want.

On the other, I always set a session variable to hold the current url before re-directing to a login page. On the login page, I then re-direct back based on the session variable that holds their original location. You can get the current script name from cgi.script_name and also append any url variables with cgi.querystring.

Hope this helps,
GJ

GJ, I understand What you are saying, I just don't know How to do it. I'm only a Converted MS Certified NT Guy, who had CF knowledge and was thrown to the wolves so to speak.... So I have been learining on the Go. I really appreciate all of the help you and many others have given me. Words cannot express my gratitude. I put the CFElseIf in... and now my page does not forward at all. As to the other part.... I'm lost. Here is my application.cfm:

<CFAPPLICATION NAME=&quot;MyApplication&quot; SESSIONMANAGEMENT=&quot;Yes&quot; SESSIONTIMEOUT=&quot;#CreateTimeSpan(0,0,0,30)#&quot; APPLICATIONTIMEOUT=&quot;#CreateTimeSpan(0,0,0,30 )#&quot;>

<CFPARAM NAME=&quot;session.LoggedIn&quot; DEFAULT=&quot;FALSE&quot;>

<CFSET APPTIMESPAN = #CREATETIMESPAN(0,0,0,30)#>

<CFIF #SESSION.LOGGEDIN# IS &quot;FALSE&quot;>

<CFIF (CGI.SCRIPT_NAME IS NOT &quot;/PowerOLAP/login.cfm&quot AND (CGI.SCRIPT_NAME IS NOT &quot;/PowerOLAP/results.cfm&quot>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>alert(&quot;The system has detected you have not logged in or your session on this machine has timed out. You will now be prompted for your login/password.&quot;self.location='login.cfm';
</SCRIPT>
</CFIF>
<CFELSE>
<CFIF (CGI.SCRIPT_NAME IS NOT &quot;/PowerOLAP/login.cfm&quot AND (CGI.SCRIPT_NAME IS NOT &quot;/PowerOLAP/results.cfm&quot>

<CFSET APPLICATION.USERSLOGGEDIN[&quot;#Session.UserID#&quot;].TIMECREATED = NOW()>
</CFIF>

</CFIF>

------------AND HERE IS THE ACTION PAGE FOR THIS:----------

<CFSET SESSION.LOGGEDIN = FALSE>

<CFQUERY NAME=&quot;CheckUser&quot; DATASOURCE=&quot;support&quot; username=&quot;search&quot;>

</CFOUTPUT>

</CFIF>

<CFELSE>

Hey Steel,

I'm happy to help and I'll explain in more detail as you need. If it were me, I would put the login files in a separate directory with an application.cfm file that doesn't have the login check in it. I would then use the <cflocation> to re-direct instead of JS as it's more reliable. This is how I would then re-structure what you have:

<CFIF #SESSION.LOGGEDIN# IS &quot;FALSE&quot;>
<cflocation url=&quot;/PowerOLAP/login.cfm&quot;>
<CFELSE>
<CFSET APPLICATION.USERSLOGGEDIN[&quot;#Session.UserID#&quot;].TIMECREATED= NOW()>
</CFIF>

I think that using the same application.cfm file for the login page can bite you later if any name changes as you are looking for a specific url that has to be updated anytime a path or script name changes.

Let me know if this helps,
GJ
