Getting userid for other Applications

[kotto_bass]

Hi, just bought a license for VBulletin. I would like to use VBulletin, simply as a message board (a component in my entire website), but my logged in users should maintain their session across the site, not just in the /forums folder. I'm trying to get the userid cookie after logging in to vbulletin, so I can integrate it to Pligg and other applications but I just can't. Is there a way to do that? Are there VBulletin APIs that allow integration with other applications, without tweaking vbulletin code? Can I move the registration page to the root folder without any security hassles and all what not?

define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'something');
define('LOCATION_BYPASS', 1);

include('./forum_path/global.php');

print_r($vbulletin->userinfo);
