How to find your BBPASSWORD & USERID
Mozilla Firefox Users
Open Firefox and click on the tools menu at the top, then select options. A options menu should pop up with some tabs. The tabs should show
General - Privacy - Content - Tabs - Downloads - Advanced.
Click on the tab that says Privacy. On the bottom left you will see a button that says View Cookies go ahead and click on that button.
Search for cookies...
Now you will see a search box. Lets say you would like to add this for the vBulletin.org forums. You would simply type in vBulletin.org and press enter.
Your search results should show the following information: (You might have to scroll down the search results some)
Site and Cookie Name. Look for vBulletin.org as the site and bbpassword as the cookie name. Once you find that, click on it. Some information will be shown just under it.- Name: bbpassword
- Content: (32 alphanumeric characters)
- Domain: .vbulletin.org
- Path: /
- ...ect
All you want is the content value. Those 32 alphanumeric characters should be pasted into the XML file as the bbpassword.
Internet Explorer Users
Open your favorite text-editing program. Then open c:\Documents and Settings\*username*\Cookies\
At this point you will need to search that directory for a file that will be named something like this: Assuming you are using this for vBulletin.org. *username*@vbulletin[1].txt.
Once you find that file, open it up in the text editor and search for bbpassword. Just under that or next to it you will see 32 alphanumeric characters. Those 32 alphanumeric characters should be pasted into the XML file as the bbpassword.
*username* = The name you use to log into your computer. Example: Owner, home, ect..
Whats My Userid?
To get your userid, just view your profile... the url will look like member.php?u=
123. Where 123 is will be your userid.
vbnotify.config.xml File
So now your XML file should look like so...
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<vbnotify>
<dialogs>
<dialog name="pm" enabled="true" interval="5" shown="3"></dialog>
</dialogs>
<forums>
<forum name="vBulletin.org" url="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/" bbuserid="123" bbpassword="55jdmxgs5s224s2a32a48c2s2sx8x3ss"></forum>
</forums>
</vbnotify>
The bbpassword shown there was random to show you what it should look like. Hope this helps answer questions before they are needed to be posted.
