Vbulletin user info in my frontpage (non-vb page)

[TheFrienzNet]

Hi there,

I've been googling this for a while now but I can't seem to find an explanation on any other site, neither on vbulletin.org. Vbulletin.com support redirected me here since they do not support 3rd party mods / addons.

I have coded a small .php file to provide user login on my website(http://www.tfn.gr) pointing towards the http://www.tfn.gr/forum forum.

The script all by itself works perfectly, however when I try to port it to my OOP-based framework (CodeIgniter) to include it there i suddently get a lot of errors.

Source for simple code:

PHP Code:

<?php  
chdir("./forum/");  
include('./global.php');    
include('./includes/functions_user.php'); 

chdir("../");  
?>
        
<?php 
if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] != '0') {  
    $username=$vbulletin->userinfo['username']; 
     
    $avatar_url = fetch_avatar_url($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'],false);
    // i assigned the avatar url to the variable $user_av and check to see if it's empty.

    print("<align='center'><span class='sectionheader'>Welcome back,".$vbulletin->userinfo['username']."!<br>"); 
    echo '<img src="forum/'.$avatar_url['0'].'" '.$avatar_url['1'].' />';
    echo '<br /><br /><br />';
    echo '<a href="forum/login.php?do=logout">[logoff]</a>';
 } else {  
?>  
<form action='/forum/login.php' method='post' onsubmit='md5hash(vb_login_password,vb_login_md5password)'> 
        <script type='text/javascript' src='/forum/clientscript/vbulletin_md5.js'></script> 
          
         <span class="sectionheader">Username:</span>  
            <input type='text' class='button' name='vb_login_username' id='navbar_username' size='15' accesskey='u' tabindex='1' value='' onfocus='if (this.value == 'username') this.value = '';' /><br> 
              
            <span class="sectionheader">Password:&nbsp;</span> 
            <input type='password' class='button' name='vb_login_password' size='15' accesskey='p' tabindex='2' /><br> 
            <input type='checkbox' name='cookieuser' value='1' tabindex='3' id='cb_cookieuser_navbar' accesskey='c' checked='checked' /><span class='sectionheader'>Remember Me</span><br> 
          
          
          
        <input name="submit" type='submit' class='button' accesskey='s' tabindex='4' title='Log In' value='Log In' /> 
        <input type='hidden' name='do' value='login' />  
        <input type='hidden' name='forceredirect' value='1' />             
        <input type='hidden' name='vb_login_md5password' /> 
        </form>  
                        
        <?php 

        }  

        ?>

The result of this script is shown in the attachment that I uploaded with this thread.

The odd thing is that what I need is working perfectly in a simple .php script but I can't get it ported without showing errors, and i'm pretty sure that I'm porting properly - went over the code 3 times (and it's not like its thousands of lines).

On Vbulletin.org they say that this might be because the code is in a class (object?), however my whole cms is divided in classes.

The error that I get when ported to my cms is the following:

When user is logged in:
Fatal error: Call to a member function query_read_slave() on a non-object in /home2/tfn/public_html/forum/includes/functions.php on line 3189



Anyone has any idea what might be the problem?

Erik
