API Hack?
 

Hi,

Ain't got vbulletin as yet but considering getting it in the next couple of months. I currently use Invision Board, and we have an API which allows the login to be used throughout the site. The one for Invision Board is here: http://forums.ibplanet.com/index.php?showtopic=7834&hl=

Just wondering if there's anything similar being done, or that's already been done for vbulletin.

Cheers for your time,

Mark

filburt1 release a php API at vBulletinTemplates.com named PAPI for vBulletin 2.x.x :)

Shame I'd have to signup to see that ;) So, based purely on what you said, indeed there are numerous hacks that allow members to login via static HTML pages, and hacks that allow all your pages to be run from vB, ie use its templates, also authenticating users on your own PHP page is pretty much as simple as adding a few lines of code.

cheers lads, sorry I didn't realise you had to signup to view that page lol...but the API made by 2.x sounds good, will the guy make one for version3 d'ya think?

i'm sure he will :)

he won't be complete without the PAPI ^^

I don't have plans to port it as much of the functionality is now built into vB3.

Indeed. vB3 has taken care of most of it already, leaving little to nothing that needs to be done by you to make use of this.

IIRC, with vB3 you only have to include the clientscript.js javascript file, and use the right loginbox HTML (ie. a loginbox with the proper fieldnames and on-submit events for the javascript). But I haven't looked at this yet myself so I might be off a little..
