[REQUEST] vB SDK

[Mr. Hiyasaki]

I think it would nice to have a compilation of functions that allow users to query the vB datbase to utilize on a external page. Such as a member login, logout, registratoin, or to display how many users are logged in. Maybe even go as far as to have a PM system external from vB which uses vB's database. Or to query forums and display recent posts and such. Maybe even have premade examples for using such functions. Vbulletin's member system is already very good, so why should I have to re-write another one for my site?

To sum it up: various functions that can be used to query the vB database for any script that I may be writing.

I have noticed such packages are available for other forum scripts, which, of course, are not as nice as vbulletin. So, why should vB be left behind in this situation?

They already can - Have a look at some of the How-to's in the 3.5 How-to Forum :)

It doesn't detail every request you have but I'm not sure how more external the PM system needs to be :confused:

Honestly, vBulletin already is very much modularized and way more than just a Forum - it's a (complete) community framework.
For many tasks, there are functions/classes you just have to call.
