Exclamation Integrate the forum login in main site.

[oxylus]

Hi,

I have a site what has a vbuletin forum. The site has an users section and I want to connect it with the vbulletin one.

I managed to create users successfuly ( by creating my own library after studying the VB code ).

I got stuck in forcing a login for forum. I want when an user loggins in the site automaticaly to be logged in the forum too. I need to to this directly from the phpcode not using hidden iframes .

I'm creating the records for the session in the database, but even i set the cookie, when i refresh the forum pages, my cookie gets overwritten with one created by the forum.

PHP Code:

    function UserLoginSession($username){        

        $user = $this->UserGet($username);


        //do a check for existing sessions

        $session = array(
            "sessionhash"        => md5(time()),
            "userid"            => $user["userid"],
            "host"                => $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"],
            "idhash"            => md5($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] .  $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]),
            "lastactivity"        => time(),
            "location"            => "/",
            "useragent"            => $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],
            "styleid"            => 0,
            "languageid"        => 0,
            "loggedin"            => 1,
            "inforum"            => 0,
            "inthread"            => 0,
            "incalendar"        => 0,
            "badlocation"        => 0,
            "bypass"            => 0,
            "profileupdate"        => 0
        );

        //save the session into the table
        $this->db->QueryInsert(
            $this->private->tables["sessions"],
            $session
            
        );

        //delete the existing cookie
        setcookie("bbsessionhash", "" , time() - 24 * 3600 * 3); 
        setcookie("bblastactivity", "" , time() - 24 * 3600 * 3); 

        //update the cookies informations
        setcookie("bbsessionhash", $session["sessionhash"] , time() + 24 * 3600 * 365); 
        setcookie("bblastvisit", time() , time() + 24 * 3600 * 365); 

        return true;
} 


Anyone has any suggestion or you know any 3rdparty libraries which can habdle this successfuly ?

Thanks,
Emanuel

Yes, I figured out in an end.

I managed to finish the library and right now is working nice . I also published it here on forum.
