vB Security Layer

Has anyone here isolated the vb security layer so you could use it in a seperate stand alone project?

Want to create a new db driven app that uses the vb permissions to define limits or access.

Was hoping not to have to sort it all out from scratch .. Suggestions?

What "security" layer? You mean security tokens and POST referrer whitelists?

I think, maybe, my question is what includes are needed to use if you want to use the security functions already included within Vb.

What security functions? Login? Usergroups?

Both, have a stand alone review script I'd like to use and want to convert it to using the vb userbase instead of its own.

Most of the security methods in vBulletin are intertwined within the core object. This includes Logging In, Input Sanitization, CSRF Protection, etc. etc.

If you want to use these then you have to include your forums global.php within your site files to get to the $vbulletin object, then simply browse and use accordingly.

Note that global.php must be included in global scope.

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php
$cwd = getcwd ( );
chdir ( '/home/username/public_html/forums/' );
require_once ( './global.php' );
chdir ( $cwd ) ;
?>

This is what I use to access the $vbulletin object, simply change the path to your forums as appropriate.
