Verotel integration???

[ladyfyre]

Before switching to VB, i was primarily using Verotel for subscription processing. Because it uses a cgi script to update the .htaccess file for the folder that your members area is supposed to exist in, this was no longer an option using VB.

Now, however, i would REALLY REALLY like to see a hack which would either edit the cgi to pass the updates into the vb system, or possibly a php hack that would run itself again the .htaccess files and upgrade/downgrade members on an hourly basis as they were added or removed.

I know there has to be a way to integrate all of this.....and one of you gurus has the key i am sure.....

so.....i am happy to pay for the work if one of you can tackle it.....

(just as a side comment: i have also recently set up a jabber server, and would also be willing to pay for integration of the userdata from vb into the xml file for jabber...or vice versa.)

For those who are also interested in the jabber integration, i have a fully functional jabber server on our dedicated machine that runs our forums that i can allow you to use for testing. Also, there is preliminary work already done which is available at http://www.jabberstudio.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/phpjabberclass/

Which gives much of the phpclass info on what has already been done towards completing this project.

sorry...me again.....

I am attaching the PHP file that has been set up to register a new user with the jabber server. I am fairly certain that this could easily be edited easily to obtain the user info from the user's profile and pass it on to the jabber server....thus eliminating the need to have user's fill out complicated info that could be messed up :)

This portion:


enter the needed data:
<form type=post>
Username: <input type=text name=username> <br>
server: <input type=text name=server> <br>
email: <input type=text name=email> <br>
name: <input type=text name=name> <br>
old password: <input type=password name=oldpass> (Fill if changing passwords)<br>
new password: <input type=password name=password> <br>
<input type=submit>
</form>

is written in HTML, having escaped out of the PHP. That could just as easily be put into a template, and called from the script. Having the template parsed and using the globals, would allow it to be set so that the it was set to echo the user's existing info so that:

Username: $bbuserinfo[username]
etc.

Although i personally would prefer to preset the server, and have it as a hidden form variable, as i don't want random people using our server as a relay to others....but that is just me.
