It does, Ive PM'ed a reply to what you sent.

I don't understand what could be wrong with my paths. I've checked them again and again. If they were wrong, wouldn't the whole thing not work at all? It works fine if the test.php file is in the forum directory, otherwise, no go, even subdirectories of the forum directory don't work.

When it works, I get the vBulletin logo linking to main forum page in the topleft corner of the login box screen. When it doesn't work because it is in another directory, instead of the vBulletin logo, I simply get a text link to my main forum page.

This is running on a fedora system. Is there anything that can be wrong besides the path? I have the https://www.myforum.site/forum in my login_inc.php, which is included in my httpsroot directory. That paths in the test.php file are completely accurate as well. This is killing me. I was just gonna install the software I needed into the forum directory but that would be chaos and there are some overlapping files. :disappointed:

Do you think that it will work with another php script,for instance lets say pafiledb?

Short answer is No idea.

You may be able to modify it to work with pafiledb, but since I havent seen how pafiledb authenticates I cant say for sure.

You can get it and play around with it from www.phparena.net

Just had a quick look.
Its something the pafiledb developers would need to do.

hmm i thought so.Thanks mate.

I had exactly the same situation removing the onfocus section gets rid of the javascript error on IE and doesn't seem to affect the operation of the script. Can anyone confirm what that code section actually does?

Does anyone know if there's a way to check if they forums are currently down/closed and then display some text or whatever if they are. The way it currently works is if they are down then the user is thrown to the vB forum page showing that the forum is down and is unable to access the site. It would be great if it could just say "User information not available." or whatever.

Is this possible? I would still like for the site to be available when the forums themselves are down.

Good idea.
Not sure if its possible but I will look into it.
