Can anyone help me with a phpbb board?
 

It's TheLiberalForums.com.

I'm helping a friend of mine get it set up. I've got some sidebars and stuff, but it appears to have broken the forum. Currently the sidebars are set up in index_body.tpl. I want to move them to overall_header & overall_footer (which I've done), but I need to get this problem figured out first.

When you try to log in using the form on the bottom, it doesn't do a login, and instead takes you to a search page (the login link at the top works fine).

This is the heart of the problem. From within the tables I have setup that make the sidebars, it won't do any kind of login properly.

I rebuilt the sidebars using overall_header and overall_footer so that they worked on all pages instead of just the main index. I did this under the template "Liberal". I didn't want to set this as the forum default until I made sure things worked better. Well, after I finished creating it, I tried going to the admin panel. When I had to re-authenticate, it did it again.

I haven't tested to see if the login form at the bottom works with this setup (I don't see why it would) but the similar problem leads me to believe I am doing something wrong.

I don't know much about php or html, but I can usually figure stuff out with some direction.

So can anyone point me in the right direction? Let me know if you want the index_body for the first test case, or the overall header/footer for the second case.

It's because your log in form is nested inside your search form (and your search form is never closed).

Load the page and view the source and do a find on "form". You'll see the first form is

<form name="search_block" method="post" action="search.php" onsubmit="return checkSearch()">

and the next form is
<form method="post" action="login.php">

however you haven't closed the first form with a </form>

So you need to put </form> right above

<input type="hidden" name="search_fields" value="all" />
<input type="hidden" name="show_results" value="topics" />
