Yes, I am sure I could pass userid to that page. My problem is that the Header and NavBar templates test to see if I am a member and since apparently I am not (security token is at guest), at this point, the header template prints out an empty login box and the navbar template puts a notice note on the page that says something like: "If this your first time on this site you may register ...".

My hack around this is to modify header to skip that assessment for this page (THIS_SCRIPT test) and not show anything in the upper right corner and to modify Navbar in the same manner to skip the messages for this page. So it's not elegant but it sort of works. The problem is that there are times that I get logged out after viewing this page (weird inconsistent behavior of tokens I think and browser caches).

My thought is that if I could log myself back in after going through this other application, which apparently tries to flush the session or some sort of thing, I would be golden and this page would work like the dozens of others and I wouldn't have to worry about being logged out.

So I thought if I used the security token I could log myself back in. This would be the cleanest approach forward. Any suggestions on how to do this, assuming you agree on the approach. I have seen some threads on remote login. Should I implement this on the test.php? Suggested thread for VB4 to help me do this? My security token notes were related to a post that Lynne made on this thread to use <input ...>.

If I can't get this to work, my latest brainstorm is to experiment with merging index.php (the launch code for the other application) and test.php (the code for rendering VB pages via the tutorial Lynne pulled together). I don't like this approach since it will be difficult to maintain through updates of the other application, even assuming I can get it to work. The other application renders global variables into templates as well. I think it was already a miracle that I could get the other application to call test.php and have them both render things into the TEST template.

Suggestions on approaches to stay logged in would be appreciated!

Additionally, does anyone have any idea of what types of php commands in the other application might be logging me off the vbulletin system? I might be able to search for those and circumvent them.

Thanks.
