Integrate vbulletin login / session info sitewide

Hi, I know there are robust hacks out there that will do this and more, but I am looking for something extremely simple. What I want is a snippet of code I can include on all the pages on my site that are outisde the forum that will :

a) recognize a user as logged in, start their session, add them to the who's onling list, and show some stats, like:

There are 297 users online, 45 members and 252 guests

b) not recognize a user as logged in, start their session, and present them with a login box and some who's online stats

I also need to be able to grab this user's userid for use in other applications, so that either needs to be a session variable I have access to or a cookie or something once they are logged in.

Please let me know if there is an exisiting hack for this, if not I will pay for one.

Thanks,

Chris

Is the site across different domain names or just sub-domains! You could do it both ways just the first way would be more work to get by the browser not letting you read or manage a cookie that is not a member of the current domain.

I have a script that I use for chat logins that I think I could convert to do this, it creates a small login box that you can place on any PHP page! You call it like so!

Code:

$box = not_user_login();

What it does, is checks to see if the user is logged in, if not it returns an array with a login box template, if they are logged in it just updates the session.

If this is what your wanting tell me and I will post you some code to do it! It might not be until tomorrow as I am busy at the moment!

I'm looking for a similar script that basically lets a visitor show up "online" even if they aren't in a forum page. There should also be a way to validate if they're logged in so that they can be denied access to certain pages accordingly.

just rename your files into php files, like so:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php



// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);



// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################

define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'file_name_here');

define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);



// ################### PRE-CACHE TEMPLATES AND DATA ###################### 

// get special phrase groups

$phrasegroups = array();



// get special data templates from the datastore 

$specialtemplates = array();



// pre-cache templates used by all actions 

$globaltemplates = array();



// pre-cache templates used by specific actions 

$actiontemplates = array();



// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################

// assuming your forums folder is in a seperate direcotry than the area you have made.

chdir('./forum/');

require_once('./global.php');

chdir('./');



echo<<<EOF

your HTML can now go here ~_^



EOF;



?>

i don't trust my "EOF" thing in the echo, but maybe someone can fix it if it's wrong :p

I'm also looking for something like this, I have a number of inefficient methods of getting the username or guest welcome displayed, but I can't seem to get people browsing non-vb pages to end up in online.php.

In vb 3.0.0 including global made it work fine :(

There are a few integration hacks/frameworks available, but often it would require customisation for your specific situation.

No, I'm asking for vb 3.5.4

I'm saying that this was easy in vb 3.0.0 lol
