Send multiple/dynamic url parameters after login validation and registration?

Send multiple/dynamic url parameters after login validation and registration?

On the login page I'm validating not only username and passwort but also if the account has been activated. From what I see I can only pass one link to a failed URL like: login.php?failedLogin=1 with one messaged based on the "existence" of failedLogin=1

How do I extend this to more specific error messages by sending dynamic URL paramater based on validation results like this:

Validation Username fails
login.php?failedLogin=1&username=0
Error Message: "Username does not exist"

Validation Password fails
login.php?failedLogin=1&password=0
Error Message: "Password is wrong"

Validation Active User fails
login.php?failedLogin=1&active=0
Error Message: "Account has not been activated yet"

Also on the registration page. How can I send the information that the username already exists when only this is the case?

You can't do this through the url... I think a work around would be to create three recordsets on the page to test for the three conditions filtered by the form post and then remove the failed redirect from the login entirely. Then you can show the messages on the page based on whether a row exists in the recordset filtered by the posted username, password, and both with the active identifier.

On the registration page you can use the Server Validation for "Unique column value" in the WebAssist Server Behaviors for form validation. If you used the wizard to create the page you can just double click on the existing server validation server behavior and edit it to make sure it has unique column validation for that field.

Thanks Ray

I'm trying to filter the recordset(s) with the username login form field (Log_In_group_Username) but that doesn't work. No values are being passed to filter the recordset.

Can you please have a look into the attached file? Thanks

Remove the failed redirect... the redirect is clearing out the form values.

I completly removed the server validation and use sessions and dataset filtering for showing up errors (together with the authentication).

This gives me even the possibility to add detailed messages to a logfile.
