VBulletin Login Check
 

Hello,
I have non vbulletin pages where I want to show links to VB members only. VB forum is in the sub directory. I want to check whether user is logged in to VB or not. Is there any to check this without including any VB file? If so please post your code here.

Thanks

Even if you don't include vBulletin files, you will need to open an SQL connection to fetch user data (and verify password).

if I am not wrong.. vbulletin uses cookie to store user information, I do not need user info i.e name, pwd etc. I just want to check whether user is logged in or not.

You cannot trust cookies - you have to verify the data contained in them.
