Sitewide Membership Integration
 

Greetings - my apologies if this question has been asked 100 times but I've searched here and vbulletin.com and google without any solid leads.

I just purchase vb 3.5 and need to use the login/pm etc. features throughout the rest of my site.

Any direction towards a tutorial or script example for the registration / login integration?

anyone?

All I need to do is have the session_start() on each page to recognize if someone's logged in or not.

If not I need a simple login form to add to my navbar for the user to login from any page - register at the login script for VB and then bounce back to where they were. If I could carry PM's and such throughout the site that would be excellent but right now I'm just needing to work in the login etc..

Also which varable notates admin status to show special admin links and such.

Even better - in the VB files - where is all of the session data run at? I have been looking through and it's a bit difficult understanding how these guys are doing a few things.

Thanks
