I can't see whats wrong there.

If some one could help me out this would be great.

This line here

Code:

needs to be

Code:

</table></td>";

The end " is part of the PHP statement and not the enclosed HTML so it should not be escaped, else you will get an error pointing to the next line of code that has another " in it.
(Escaping the " ment that you never ended that PHP statement correctly)

Also, I recommend taking a few online tutorials on using HTML with PHP.
You really just need a basic level of experience in using them togeather and it all becomes clear. :)

Hi,

Ye I have sorted it all now, well on way with it all now

Is there anyway to use this (i.e. including global to make logging in easy to sort out) without it auto banning banned users from our own pages?

The site I'd like to use this on will have a separate banning system on the site itself as forum bans shouldn't result in suspensions from the rest of the site. The two are very unrelated and as such shouldn't affect each other's bans.

hi,

at first i have to say big thanks for this script, i need it very much and it looks pretty cool, but i have problem with it:

the script works fine in this way: i created an extra logintest.php with this contents:
require_once('/srv/www/htdocs/web0/html/v4/vb3/global.php');
require_once('/srv/www/htdocs/web0/html/v4/vb3/login_inc.php');

and in neu.php im including this logintest.php by:
<?php chdir("/srv/www/htdocs/web0/html/v4/vb3");
require("/srv/www/htdocs/web0/html/v4/vb3/logintest.php"); ?>

when i open the neu.php it works fine (when i delete the cookies at firefox options first),

but when i put the include code from neu.php into my index.php (same code!) i get:
Warnung: array_keys() [function.array-keys]: The first argument should be an array in /includes/functions.php (Zeile 4994)

Warnung: Empty regular expression in /includes/functions.php (Zeile 4994),

so some code of the board or loginscript collades with the code on my page. is there a possibility to fix this problem? i dont want to use frames/iframe or a little popup window to include the loginform, but i dont know how i can include it, without getting these errors, remember: neu.php alone works fine

many thanks, david

Great hack, thank you for your hard work ;)

Added custom CSS, and change some of your code so it is W3C validated.

Code:

// get total number of members

$getstats_user_count = $db->query_read('SELECT COUNT(*) FROM ' .TABLE_PREFIX . 'user');

while ($forum_user_count = $db->fetch_array($getstats_user_count))

}

$totusers = vb_number_format($totusers);

I am really NOT good at coding (I know no PHP/mySQL), so use at your own risk. If I made any mistakes, please let me know so I can correct it!

Hakaslak figures usage instructions would be nice::rolleyes:

#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------

Code:

$totposts = vb_number_format($totposts);

Fix - Edit phrase called

Code:

passwordexpired

Your current phrase should be

Code:

Your password is {1} days old, and has therefore expired.<br />

<br />

Please change your password using <a href="profile.php?{2}do=editpassword">this page</a>.

change it to

Code:

Your password is {1} days old, and has therefore expired.<br />

<br />

Please change your password using <a href="../forums/profile.php?{2}do=editpassword">this page</a>.

where ../forums/ is your forums directory.

Ive only tested this for expired passwords, not for expired vbplaza, but I would think you would have to edit the expiring vbplaza phrases in the same manner.

Sorry one last thing, i am trying to apply this to my forum but cannot find this phrase in my 'phrase manager'

I actually made my post because it did happen lol. We implemented it not even thinking about the issue and then about 5 minutes later we had many complaints from our users that they could no longer access the ladders (we're an online competition website i.e. ladders, and tournaments for online games). It was telling them they were banned and with their ban reason just like the forum bans would be I presume.

So we naturally had to revert back to our old pre-made solution which is just a custom script which just uses cookies and sends the login info to the login.php page when logging in. Though as some of our users have been having problems (particularly Mac Safari users) staying logged in we were looking for a more foolproof system which included sessions (as we presumed that was at least part of the issue).

Any help that could be given on the being banned situation would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there, great hack which I have installed and got working. Really pleased and will probably donate but wondered if anyone has managed to resolve an issue mentioned in one of these postings.

Has anyone managed to edit the script to get it to validate to xhtml strict?

My web template is valid without the script but gets lots of validation errors once included in my site template.

I would appreciate if anyone has managed to do this and maybe it could be included??

I still seem to be plagued with this:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/pause/public_html/dev/modules/login_inc.php on line 169

error. The offending line is:

PHP Code:


		
			
// finds number of new posts

$newposts = $db->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS count FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post AS post " . iif($vbulletin->options['threadmarking'], 'LEFT JOIN ' . TABLE_PREFIX . 'threadread AS threadread ON (threadread.threadid = post.threadid AND threadread.userid = ' . $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] . ')') . " WHERE dateline >= " . $vbulletin->userinfo['lastvisit'] . iif($vbulletin->options['threadmarking'], ' AND dateline > IF(threadread.readtime IS NULL, ' . (TIMENOW - ($vbulletin->options['markinglimit'] * 86400)) . ', threadread.readtime)'));





$newposts = vb_number_format($newposts['count']);



echo"<a href=\"".$forumpath."search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getnew\">$vbphrase[new_posts]</a>: $newposts<br />";



}

So i went and did a SQL query:

Quote:

SQL query: Documentation

SELECT COUNT(*) AS count FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post AS post " . iif($vbulletin->options['threadmarking'], 'LEFT JOIN ' . TABLE_PREFIX . 'threadread AS threadread ON (threadread.threadid = post.threadid AND threadread.userid = ' . $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] . ')') . " WHERE dateline >= " . $vbulletin->userinfo['lastvisit'] . iif($vbulletin->options['threadmarking'], ' AND dateline > IF(threadread.readtime IS NULL, ' . (TIMENOW - ($vbulletin->options['markinglimit'] * 86400)) . ', threadread.readtime)')

MySQL said: Documentation
#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '" . TABLE_PREFIX . "post AS post " . iif($vbulletin->options['threadmarking'], '' at line 1

I have total posts commented out due to a similar problem - but don't need that feature anyway. However, the rest of the files works fine - avatar, pm's etc.

I am pretty sure i have all the correct includes and files/paths. So i can only assume there is either a problem in the query, or people are using different versions of SQL and in one of these MySQL updates, some function has been changed.

I am currently on MySQL version 4.1.21-standard.

Any ideas?

If you actually used that query in phpmyadmin or a similar client then it wouldn't have worked as you're trying to use php in it. i.e. variables like $vbulletin etc wouldn't work in phpmyadmin nor would ' . TABLE_PREFIX . ' you'd need to replace that block of code with whatever your forum's prefix is in the database i.e. f_users would have a prefix of f_ so for this example: AS count FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post would become AS count FROM f_post

Hope that helps in at least finding out what your issue is.

Hi again, does anyone know what if statement I could use to display a message on my site which has this hack installed for users with a post cont of zero?

Also is it possible to redirect to certain url or forums based upon usergroup or post count for members logging in at my website with this hack rather than logging in at my forums.

CP,	07-05-2007 10:49 PM

Works fine! Just one last important vital thing missing i believe, we have the total number of users online? not the users them selves but the total members online in numbers? like "30" and also a sep for guests?

Cheers!

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong, or if this is even possible. I'm trying to add the login on an .shtml page using php includes. Is this possible? Here's my php code placed in my shtml page:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php include("/home/xxxmysite/public_html/forums/login_inc.php"); ?>

login_inc.php is in my forums root, and I created a test.php file with the code required in step 1 (with correct paths), also loaded my forums root. I've checked all the paths and they seem to be correct. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thank you

When I run sample script (test.php), I'm getting an error about headers:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

I've checked script and there are no spaces before first 4 lines of code.

By the way, I see this only when I logged out. When I logged in (through vBulletin), I see this:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

How can I fix this?

PS: I have lastest vBulletin version installed. And the installation is fresh (just one thread).

I've tried both Deluxe and "non Deluxe" versions of this script.

I have this working perfectly, so thank you.

Is there a programming genius here that can help me convert the little bit of php into perl, so I can restrict a perl script in the same way?

It doesn't have to be elegant, just a bomb out if the user is not logged in and not in the correct usergroup.

Hi guys,

Firstly thanks for a great hack, I've got it working almost perfectly, however I could do with a little help if possible.

The site I am using the hack for has an area that anybody can view, and then a number of private pages that are for registered members only.

One of the pages that anyone can view is called members.php, and this contains the login form fields. At the moment when a member logs in they are taken back to this page, although they are successfully logged in.

How can I change the code so that when a member successfully logs in they are instead taken to one of the private pages eg members_index.php instead of back to the same page they logged in from.

Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated, :)

Did anybody get this to work (check for membergroupids)?

Looking at the below example, I noticed that you are using 'usergroupid' and I think this needs to be 'membergroupids' like:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php 
if ($vbulletin->userinfo['membergroupids'] is_member_of(n,n,n)) 
    { 
    echo "This is only visible to people in usergroups n,n,n";} 
    ?>

usergroupid is a users primary access level while membergroupids can contain multiple secondary access levels.

    { 
    echo "This is only visible to people in usergroups n,n,n";} 
    ?>

where n = the groups you want to check.

I havent tried this yet, it may or may not work.

Hello,

I have been having a lot of trouble with getting this modification to work. I have read of numerous people having the same problem as well. I read to about page 13 before I gave up and decided to post (sorry if this was fixed between here and there).

Anyway, my login box appears to work fine in all aspects accept actually logging in. After typing in my username and password, I am sent to the page saying I have successfully logged in. However, I am then redirected back to the page with the login only to find that I am in fact not logged in. The same thing happens when I try to log out using this script as well. Everything appears fine, but I don't log out.

On the other hand, the login box reflects perfectly whether I am actually logged in or not. It can tell if I have logged in on the forum's login page and reacts accordingly. It just can't perform any of the operations itself.

I have also read through the troubleshooting and the changing the cookie information didn't change anything.
Any suggestions?

Ok i am having some problems, i set the login script up to how i needed it and i ran this script:

Code:

<?php

$curdir = getcwd ();

chdir('../../vbulletin');

require_once('global.php');

chdir ($curdir);

?>

<html> 

<body> 

This is a heading<br /> 

This is some more stuff <br /> 

And another line<br /> 

You get the idea<br /> 

Just place stuff as you normally would with HTML<br /> 

I use CSS to style and position on my site fwiw<br /> 

<br /> 

How about we put the login box right under here?<br /> 

<br /> 

<?php 

   require_once('login_inc.php'); 

?> 

</body> 

</html>

simple and bog standard, but as soon as i execute the script, the page loads a copy of the login page, but it is NOT redirecting to my login page as the path stays the same:

http://img518.imageshack.us/img518/1600/helpbm4.th.jpg

This seems to occur when i include global.php and i am completely lost, can anyone help?

----
UPDATE:
Ok i forgot to include some pertinent information, this only occurs when i am not logged in, if i am logged in then it all works fine:
URL=http://img505.imageshack.us/my.php?image=icasdo1.jpg]http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/5113/icasdo1.th.jpg[/URL]

But if i am not logged in, or click log out, then when i attempt to access the login page, (the one i designed using the login_inc) it simple embeds the proper login page attempting to use my style aswell, but failing because the images paths are not correct, (because the script remains the same, it does NOT redirect to a new script)

I cant login using this page because the paths are all wrong.

Luke Brown256

08-02-2007 01:09 AM

Ok i have worked out what is wrong, i dont know if this is something that can be fixed or not but perhaps it should be added as a notice.

If you set your forums up so unregistered/ not logged in users can NOT see any forums, then you will get the same problem i have done, if the user tries to access any page in which global.php is included then it will embed a vb login box, but all the paths will be relative, so it wont work.

Took me several hours of reading global.php and then trying some things but yeah, so i am going to bed now.
The way around this is simply to enable unregistered users to see SOMETHING, but if someone finds another way around this then i look forward to reading it.

08-02-2007 01:22 AM

This code will check BOTH the primary and secondary usergroups for access...

PHP Code:


		
			
if (is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, X, X, X)) { 

  echo "Your usergroup has access to this area";

}

else { 

   echo "You are not in a usergroup with access";

}

Where X is a usergroup (primary or secondary, it checks them BOTH).
If you only want to check for one value, just use one groupid...multiple values use multiple groupids. You can check for as many as you would like.

Hope it helps,
Steve

I'm having a problem using this mod which I see other people have had before - but I couldn't find a solution on this thread.
I'm using the login box in the header all pages on the site, and for consistency, it's in the same place on the forum pages. All is working fins apart from the variables:
$pmbox[lastvisitdate]
$pmbox[lastvisittime]
$vbphrase[unread_x_nav_compiled]
$vbphrase[total_x_nav_compiled]
Which won't show on the forum (fine on all other pages).
Sorry if this has been resolved before - but I'd really appreciate some help!
THanks.
