apples and oranges..... Smile

You are talking about doing 2 different tasks using the same input form, which cannot be done.

In other words, you need to log in as admin using the admin.php script, not the Your_Account module.

But that is just the way i do, I login as normal user through the Your_Account, then I go to login through admin.php as i usualy do and that don't work...

But if I log in as the admin (through admin.php) first and as normal user after, it works strange..?

When I had the login-block there where no problem so I suppose the problem has to do with the header...but I don't know what Question

Anyway Thanks for Your answer Very Happy

I think i found the answer.

Here it is:

Code:

if (is_user($user) AND $cookie[1] == "$username" AND is_admin($admin)) {

i tried some other combinations but not this one, so now it works

(have not found any problems with it yet) Wink
