Yes there is a conflict between this and vB external.
We tried to track it down with an earlier release of this but with no luck.

A workaround others have used is use vBexternal for the front page and this hack on the rest to provide access control.

np, thanks for that :D

Just what the docotor ordered :) Great hack

Thanks

It works great! I have one question however, how can I display the username?

To display the username just put
in the page where you want it.

I am trying to put $vbulletin->userinfo['username'] into a variable named $username, however it isn't working. Here is my code, is there something I am missing?

$username = $vbulletin->userinfo['username'];

I'm having an interesting problem...

If I run this hack, it deletes any variable called before it, for example, if id=6 before global.php, id = NULL afterwards?

Otherwise a great hack, but mucho help would be appreciated?

That should work as long as the page with that code includes global.php

You dont have anything else that uses the variable $username do you?
What happens if you name the variable something else like $member_name ?

I have one strange issue, when someone is logged out, and they log in (or if they click the log out link) -- it opens in a new window --
is that normal behavior ?

the plan I had for this makes it a look a bit strange...
thanks for the help

I need help....

please check http://gunge.gothic-craving.com/links.php for a demo

I had to remove chdir line as it wasnt finding a file, which kept causing errors, now when I use the login box, it logs me in, but the login box stays there and at the bottom of the screen it says "done, with errors on page"

I know nothing about php so I would appreciate some help here. I have no idea what im doing or anything :(
