Simple vB User login and access control on non vB pages · **Released**: 11-16-2005

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

Just rewritten so its neater, only one line to change instead of 4, and better instructions.
(Then there is the more complex version I use that displays the logged in users Avatar, and any unread PM's, whict I will tidy up and release one day)

Your logout problem is probably because you have whitespace (just a plain ole space)either before or in the includes.

Here, try this.

Save this code in a file called test.php an upload it to your server.
Remember to edit the 3 paths here so they match your site.

PHP Code:


			
<?php

chdir('/path/to/your/forums');

require_once('/path/to/your/forums/global.php');

?>



    <html>

    <body>

    This is a heading<br />

    This is some more stuff <br />

    And another line<br />

    You get the idea<br />

    Just place stuff as you normally would with HTML<br />

    I use CSS to style and position on my site fwiw<br />

    <br />

    How about we put the login box right under here?<br />

    <br />

    <?php

require_once('/path/to/your/login_inc.php');

    ?>

    </body>

    </html>

remember, you need to edit the paths in your login_inc.php and upload it as well.

Hey

I've installed this but right now the login box is right at the top of my page (see www.realmofhorrorcomics.com) How do I put the login box where I want it on the page?

Thanks!

Just one other question, how do I edit the text:

Welcome Back, Username here !

... when a user is logged in?

Thanks!

Thanks!

In the file login_inc.php, look up the top for this (around line 5)

PHP Code:


			
// Display welcome back message

echo "Welcome Back, <b>";

echo $vbulletin->userinfo['username'];

echo " !</b><br>";

You can change the text, fonts, styling etc.
