Hack Description
This is a cutdown version of the user authentication and access control system I use on the non vB pages on my website.
This uses the vB 3.5 login system to log you in and out. It allows you to move between your forums and other pages on your site while remaining logged in.
It allows you to do things such as restrict pages by usergroup, display different content depending on a user being logged in or not.
For example, you can have banner Adds displying to non members only, and/or let members access to specific content.
Ive cut it down to the bare minimum that it needs to work, no fancy stuff such as avatars, PM's, or even formating.
I will try and offer support, but work and family commitments mean I dont have much free time.
This code is a mix of my own, and pieces I have used from other hacks that are floating around.
This script has been confirmed as working on

hey any idea how i could make it show on whosonline page
so people who are using my pagewww.aur-phala.com/hotmail
will show up on whos online so i can see whos checking that page out
For me the reverse seems to be happening, ie. all usergroups EXCEPT group 6 can see what's inside the quotes!
Problem solved now. After a little more investigation it turns out it was always behaving as though I wasn't logged in because the page is in a different directory to the forum.
This is solved by altering Cookie Domain and Post Referrer Whitelist in the Control Panel as described earlier in the topic.
The script is working great in Maxthon, IE. However, when I use Firefox to login, I do not get redirected back to the page I started on. I get redirected to the index page of my forum.
I've noticed that in Firefox, if I log out, the vBulletin box that says "All cookies cleared!
* Return to the page you were previously viewing"
links to the index page of the forum.
I'm not sure where to start troubleshooting this one. Does the script make any special concessions for browsers. Does it even need to?

Interesting.
I will try mine in Firefox and see if I can replicate it.
