Adding pages outside the vb template

[DreyerMedia]

Hi there,

I would like to add pages outside the vbulletin forum templates, that only can be viewed forum members (and if possible, spesific groups only).

Any code snipples I can add to the pages?

[Dismounted]

<?php
$cur_dir = getcwd();
chdir('/path/to/vbforum/');
require_once('./global.php');
chdir($cur_dir);

if (!is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 4, 5, 6)
{
print_no_permission();
}
?>
This would deny everyone except if they are from usergroup id's 4, 5 and 6.

<?php
$cur_dir = getcwd();
chdir('/path/to/vbforum/');
require_once('./global.php');
chdir($cur_dir);

if (!is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 4, 5, 6)
{
print_no_permission();
}
?>
This would deny everyone except if they are from usergroup id's 4, 5 and 6.

Corrected code.
<?php
$cur_dir = getcwd();
chdir('/path/to/vbforum/');
require_once('./global.php');
chdir($cur_dir);

if (!is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 4, 5, 6))
{
print_no_permission();
}
?>
) was missing, You should at least read the code before hitting submit. ;)

Thanks for this quick tutorial :D

OK What is if I want to create this page on another subdomain? Should I use the same code for remote file?

[Dismounted]

Is the subdomain on the same server? Can they access each others files internally?

Thank you, Dismounted. The subdomains are all on the same server. Yes I changed the path internally and this method works. But I still have these questions:

1. Will this method (chdir, etc.) affect my own script that is on the other subdomain? Will it be heavier? Will it produce any errors? Are there any functions that I should not run in the script?

2. What are the variables that I can retrieve and how? For example, I need to retrieve:
UserID
Username
Email
Member Level (regular, admin, etc.)

Thank you.

Never mind. Got that :)
