this seems perfect for what i want, however, i can't get it working correct.

I can get the log into to work, so that it says 'welcome Magik' and all that jazz, but it then redirects me to a page with the login bar there again. Not a 'wecome magik' thing. what am i doing wrong?

Have a look at step 3 in troubleshooting.

Did that fix it?

OK. I've been playing around with it all day because i really ened this to work, and i've got it working. However, I now get

The log-in, owever, works for now!

I am just starting to play with this and your test scripts work great for me...

I am trying to take an old php script (Recipe Script) that uses it's own member login and password and use your mod to use vB UserId to be forced... As long as the person has to be signed in and I can capture their user ID that is good enough for this need (for now).

I am curious if the fact that this script I am working with conects to a different database then vB will cause me problems using this method?

Ive never seen that error before.

Are you running any other scripts on that page?
If so, my guess there is a conflict with one of them.

I think I see what your trying to do. Use the vB userid from this and record it in the other database?

I do something similar on my site where a couple of custom databases record the record owner by their vB id.

Short answer is that I dont know if it will conflict with your script or not. All you can really do is try and see.

I have installed the script as described. I named my page members.php and put it in the root directory. The page shows up fine, but when I try to login it just refreshes back to the page. I have changed the Cookie path to / and still nothing.

Any ideas?

Thanks

What version of vB are you using?
Your profile says 3.0.3

Curious to know if you ever found what the problem might be when using vbexternal? Everything works perfect until I use it in conjunction with vbexternal and I get a "Cannot redeclare class vbulletinhook" error.

okay, i got it to work... however once logged in it won't keep you logged in :(
