Using vBulletin functions outside of the domain?

[Sykoi]

Somehow my post here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=134554) has gone ignored for quite awhile... So I'll just rephrase it.

I need to be able to confirm a user is registered on my forums, from my site and I was wondering what the best way to do this is.

Have you seen this article:

If you use that basic form for every file, vBulletin's back end is included.

Erm... I need to access it outside of the domain the forum is on, and I don't really want to open the domain up to other users...
I just need to check a user id and a hidden profile field saved on my site, against my forum's user database.

Which would be better, writing a query on the site to check my forum's database or copy certain files over to the site.

What are you checking the user-id with? I would query the forum database, but you need to watch out for security vulnerabilities.

Okay good thats what I was thinking... But what kind of vulnerabilities (Just normal sql injection?), and what about other things, like adding a new forum or adding a moderator to a forum

How is it all my threads go unanswered? :(

Question still isn't answered...

[Sykoi]

Really need a reply here

Sykoi, can you please be patient?

There are many people those want to help someone out.

I am sure that they (I am one of them) are trying to understand your question and will help.

Just be patient.

I've been patient for three weeks, only a few people have actually replied in this time. And while I thank everyone who has replied, its not like someone will see my post, say "Oh I'll help him out sometime soon without replying to ask him what he means" and then come back a few weeks later. This is not something that can be waited on, and is very much urgent.

I knew something like this would happen, seeing as the vBulletin.org community has very rarely helped me in the past, which is why I posted this ahead of time. But now I'm getting closer to my deadline, and I can not put this off any longer. Unless I get this working flawlessly, I open myself up to potential exploits, days of frustration trying to figure out strange bugs from misunderstanding vBulletin's database architecture, and not to mention potentially having to rewrite my code everytime vBulletin updates.

I don't mean to come off as rude, but its very aggravating when a question you think is simple goes completely ignored for close to a month.

And besides, this was a simple bump - my post had gone off the first few pages.

[WhaLberg]

Okay, read your pm.

[Sykoi]

*Sigh*... Bump

[Sykoi]

This is really getting on my nerves, its been over three weeks since I first posted this and I haven't so much as gotten a reply again from Danny answering my questions, which he had asked me... Over 10 days ago.

[WhaLberg]

I have sent you a PM but you did not reply.

Anyway..

Outside of the forum or outside of the domain? If it's outside of the forum, then include the functions.

And there are some users who are in "Awaiting Email Activation Users" usergroup and if you want to move them "Registered Users" usergroup from your site?

[Sykoi]

Outside of the domain, and no - I need to check to see who has an account on the forums, and link that forum account to their account on my site in a secure manner without sharing the user databases.
