Passing $vbulletin to custom pages

I'm writing a custom page for the User Control Panel for a client...

I have the page and template created. I defined a special include in global.php to pull in a form on said page. However, I can't access $vbulletin for the life of me from this page.

I have global.php included on the page, but it makes no difference. I need a way for the form to be able to access items such as the UID. Putting the form into the template itself isn't an option.

A little help, please?

Not quite sure what your trying to accomplish here whether you mean $vbulletin as in $vbulletin->db or $vbulletin as in you define what that variable does. Could you specify please?

Such as $vbulletin->session or $vbulletin->userinfo

Hmmm, that is interesting. Usually it works when you include the global.php file.

Did you include it this way:

PHP Code:


		
			
require_once('./global.php');

Yeah... here's what I have.

global.php

Code:

ob_start();

include('./updateForm.php');

$dpo = ob_get_contents();

ob_end_clean();

require_once(CWD . '/includes/init.php');

In the template, I have

Code:

$dpo

instead of $HTML

And on updateForm.php

Code:

chdir("/my/site/addressy/www/vbulletin");

require_once('./global.php');

Do a var_dump of $vbulletin and it's null...

The template is membership_details and the actual page i membership_details.php

This might be ridiculous to have you do but I'm curious to see if it changes anything.

Change this line:

PHP Code:


		
			
include('./updateForm.php');

To:

PHP Code:


		
			
require_once('./updateForm.php');

If nothing changes then maybe you might want to place the global.php call in the main file your trying to access.

Haha. I actually tried that this morning after I posted that code. Didn't change anything, sadly.

I managed to get the user ID from $_COOKIE, so I suppose this works for now.

The file with this code:

PHP Code:


		
			
ob_start();
include('./updateForm.php');
$dpo = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
require_once(CWD . '/includes/init.php');

Is that file in the same directory as your vB forum?

I included that on global.php

So you edited vBulletin's global.php file? If so, remove that code and use it in a plugin instead for global_start plugin hook location. Also remove include('./updateForm.php'); from that as you are having issues because your causing it to go in a circle. If you didn't edit vBulletin's global.php file then honestly I can't say for sure why its not working other than you must have something somewhere causing it to stop working.
