//PUT THIS AS THE VERY FIRST THING ON YOUR PAGE, BEFORE THE <html> TAG<?
include_once("forums\\admin\\config.php");
include_once("forums\\admin\\db_mysql.php");
$DB_site=new DB_Sql_vb;
$DB_site->appname='vBulletin';
$DB_site->appshortname='vBulletin (forum)';
$DB_site->database=$dbname
$DB_site->server=$servername;
$DB_site->user=$dbusername;
$DB_site->password=$dbpassword;
$DB_site->connect();

include("forums\\admin\\functions.php");
include("forums\\admin\\sessions.php");
?>

<?
//now you can check who is logged in, this can go anywhere
if($bbuserinfo['userid'] != 0){
echo "welcome " . $bbuserinfo['username'] . " your user id is: " . $bbuserinfo['userid'];
}
?>

this could be used if you want to make sure someone is logged in before they come to your site, or a customized home page showing their info

I'm amazed by your very detailed explanation in your first post by what this hack actually does :rolleyes: :p

If this is going at before the HTML tag, doesn't it still need the <?php and ?> tags?

I have this on my forum anyway, using one of Firefly's header online hacks, but installed on every page with some integration..

Good for those using HTML pages I suppose..

Thanks!

No vb3 hacking is allowed until the RC stage :) ^^

Is this considered hacking since I am not touching any of the VB3 files? I just want to do this on all the other pages of my site.

i dont think its considered hacking since all you are doing is requiring them logging in before accessing your non vbulletin pages, heres how i did it:

I did something similar to this with my vb2.5 and upgraded to vb3 and it still works fine...

I mean I dont know how correct it is per say but it seems to do the job and thats all that matters..
.

<?php
$logged = ($user = $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["bbuserid"]);

if ($logged >= "1") {
?>

your page code goes here.

<?php
}
if ($logged < "1") {
echo "<div align=center>You must be a registered user of the forums. ";
echo "Please click <a href=http://www.accordtuner.com?#login>here</a> ";
echo "to login first... Or click <a href=http://board.accordtuner.com/register.php?&action=signup>";
echo "here</a> to register with our forums.</div>";
}
?>

Thanks!

That works on some pages but I get some funny errors on others. Have to play more but thanks again, I do apprecaite it.

What is really ironix is that I use phpbb for some content mgmt sites and I can now require VB membership to have people access the phpbb sites ;-)

hey, there is a missing semicolon after $DB_site->database=$dbname. took me 20 minutes to find that.

if cookies are disabled OR the user sets "Automatically login when you return to the site? (uses cookies)" as NO...

will this still work? if not, how can i make it work without cookies.

hmm.. what I usually do is:

<?php

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

print "<pre>";
print_r($bbuserinfo);
print "</pre>";

?>

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

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] != 0)
{
echo 'Welcome ' . $vbulletin->userinfo['username'] . ' Your user id is: ' . $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'];
}
?>
