This is a copy of a post made to the vbulletin.com forums since I was reffered to here from there.

I'm developing a backend for a site that uses vb as a forum and I wanted to allow users to log in from from the site which resides in the root as opposed to the forum which resides in /forums/.

So I duplicated the forum login code on my pages and added the following code at the top of all of my files:

chdir("<changed to protect the innocent>/forums/");
require_once('./global.php');
require_once('./includes/functions_bigthree.php');
require_once('./includes/functions_forumlist.php');
chdir("<changed to protect the innocent>");

Giving me access to the magic $bbuserinfo variable.

Everything seems to work fine but for some reason it considers a user that logged in from the pages that I generate and those that reside in /forums/ as separate and I'm not sure why.

I even checked vbs session table and I'm listed twice with two different locations. One entry in the table has my page, the other has a page in /forums/.

Any help figuring this out would be greatly appreciated.
