Hi guys,

I don't currently own vBulletin, but I want to write a web based 'service' for a forum at which I hang out, which uses vBulletin.

I want to be able to use the vBulletin authorization stuff and cookies, so when people go to this 'service' they don't have to make new usernames etc.

The questions I have to ask are:

* Is this possible? (ie would I get source code to dig around in?)
* Could I use vBLite to code it and have it work on the full version or are they different?
* Does anyone havd vBLite or could they point me to a mirror? I downloaded it sometime before the 1st August, but now I can't find it, and it's no longer available :(

I really don't want to pay $85 US or $160 US (I'm assuming it's US) for something I'm not going to be running as an actual forum. I just need it to check if my site is working with the vB stuff.

Alternately are there docs or an API which I could use/read/reference?

Cheers,

tifkat

I highly doubt anyone here would still have vblite and if you did use it from what I was told the database scheme for vb and vblite are different.
