CMS Made Simple Forums

I need some advice as to how to set values for the new variables available in the sample login template for Front End Users 3.1.4 in release 2.2.12. I want a simple login form that asks for username and password. If the correct values are given, the user should then be driected to a particular page ($redirect_url). I don't need captcha as this is not a 'public' page.

My previous login form was with cmsms 2.2.7 and this no longer works.

Thanks in advance
