Using VBulletin member database for other areas of site

[mlewis09]

Hi all,
Long time Vbulletin user, first time poster here! I'd like to add some members-only domains to my website (www.cystinuria.org) and i would like to have the membership simply be a registration with our forums. Thus, i would like to use that database to apply a user's name and PW when entering members only parts of the site.
Does anyone have any information on how i may be able to accomplish this? Perhaps this has been discussed before and i missed the post. Links are appreciated as well as any info!
THanks all,
matt lewis

I'm very new to this, but you may consider using member's only directories within your domain. I finally got a this mod working. Simple vB User login and access control on non vB pages (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=132996)

I couldn't get it to work on a subdomain and ended up moving the forum from a subdomain to a standard directory.

Good luck,
Brandon
