Integrating external script with vBulletin users

[Arven]

Hi!

I tried to use search to solve my problem (as well as looking into tutorials about hooks, plug-ins and the like - but all in all it's too much and i need some help getting started in the right place).

So here's the thing:

A few years ago I programmed a deck building data base for the Warlord: Saga of the Storm CCG (http://www.warlordccg.com). Fast forward a few years and now I am actually in charge of the product, am running the official forum and want to integrate and upgrade version of it into the official forum, so registered users of a certain group can automatically access the advanced functions of the Deck Builder when they go to the forum (and especially don't need a bunch of different log-ins).

Adding a link to the Deck Builder site is easy, but how do I go about using vBulletins user management in a "plug-in" (it's more like a "tag-on" ;-))?

Can anybody point me to the right start? I am willing to read and learn ;-).

Thank you!

A plugin in vBulletin is to add functionality to vBulletin. You are trying to do the opposite :). What exactly do you need in your application.

Ooops. ;-)

I want to use vBulletin's user management for the new card database. I.e. if you log in to cardmasters.de, you should also be logged into UWODB and be able to access the member only functions.

Basically I want to integrate several services in a site that centers around the vbulletin forum.

You can include vBulletin's global.php. This gives you all the standard functions and will manage sessions.

i want to do the same thing except i want to pull the email and pass from registration and use it as email and pass to sign up for a ning network page.....

You can hook into the registration process to do that - look in register.php.

Thank you! That gives me the starting point I was looking for!
