How do you check if a user is already login (API)?

I have integrated VB in my website.
I imported all user to VB and use the VB login process whenever its necessary.

My question is how do you check if a user is already logged in (outside the VB script scope)?
Is there any VB API for that?

Thanks,

First include global.php to load the vB environment, then check if $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] > 0

Thank you very much.
I tried that and I have a problem with it:

The folder structure is like that

web homepage
web/forum VB

I need to call the include in the "web" folder.
When I do so I get an error:
Warning: main(*****\web/includes/init.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in ****\web\forum\global.php on line 20

Is there an API interface for VB where I can get that info?

On the same subject.
Can I get from this array the user statistics. Meaning when he was last logged in, if he has unread private message, How many post he has.

If not, where I can get that info.

Thank you.

Use the following snippet:

PHP Code:


		
			
......

chdir('./forum');

require_once('./global.php');

......

You can find the official documentation in the API reference in the member area at vb.com. Also have a look in our vB3.5 Tutorial section. Most things are covered in there.

Yes all that info you can find in the $vbulletin->userinfo array. For non-user information, see the rest of the $vbulletin object.

Unfortunately I get an error.
I created a test.php file. placed on the root folder.
In that file:

PHP Code:


		
			
chdir('./forum');

require_once('./global.php');

When I run it I get an error

Quote:

Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
File: ****\web\forum\includes\class_core.php
Line: 1906

BTW, I looked at the API. Is there a way to downloaded it.
Any code samples ?

Thanks,

This means that you already have some output, global.php must be called before anything is sent.

Not sure if it is downloadable. You can find coding examples in our Tutorial section, or by looking at hacks all around this board.

I know what it means, but as you can see above, nothing on the file but those 2 lines.
Could be that the chdir() send output to the user side?

Try the following code, it should not give you any errors:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

chdir('./forum');

require_once('./global.php');

echo "<br />Userid: " . $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'];

?>

I think I found the problem.

Few days ago I was looking for a way to include a custom header using php include.
I was told that the best way is to define a new plug-in and to call it on global_start. This is what I did

PHP Code:


		
			


ob_start();

include('../header_top.php');

$my_header = ob_get_contents(); 

ob_end_clean();

Then on the header template I call the $my_header variable.
I am guessing that the ob_get_contents() causing this problem.

So back to start.
How do I include a php file not using this method.

Thanks,

anyone can help on this please ?

try this

PHP Code:


		
			
$my_header = implode("", file("../header_top.php"));

echo $my_header;
