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

Billspaintball · #**124** 04-14-2006, 01:26 PM

Sorry about the lack of support.

Have you tried section 5 of the troubleshooting guide to rule out other scripts interfearing?

Spinball · #**126** 04-21-2006, 11:13 PM

I'm having the same problems.

PHP Code:


			
<?php

   chdir("/home/sites/avforums/public_html/forums");

   require_once('../forums/global.php');  

require_once('/home/sites/avplay/public_html/login_inc.php');

$allowed_userids = "1";

$allowed_users = explode(",",$allowed_userids);

if (!(in_array($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'],$allowed_users))) {

   echo ("<P align='center'>Sorry but you do not have permission to access this page.</P>");

   include ("/home/sites/avplay/public_html/footer.php");

   exit();

}



chdir("/home/sites/avplay/public_html");

...avforums.com and avplay.com are both on the same server and AV Forrums has been set up with the cookie path being / and cookie domain being .avforums.com.

Keeps saying I'm not allowed in, and when I print_r $vbulletin->userinfo is returns a userd of 0.
Help!

Billspaintball · #**127** 04-22-2006, 04:56 AM

Have you tried just the sample code in "Troubleshooting - step 5" yet?
(refer to this post https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....98&postcount=2 )

If so, what happened?

Yep - the same happened. Using vB 3.5.4

PHP Code:


			
<?php 

chdir('/home/sites/avforums/public_html/forums'); 

require_once('/home/sites/avforums/public_html/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('/home/sites/avforums/public_html/login_inc.php'); 

print_r($vbulletin->userinfo);



?> 

</body> 

</html>

Uploaded to www.avforums.com it works perfectly. Uploaded to www.avplay.com it does not. I get the 'Thanks for loggin in' message followed by the login request.
The contents of $vbulletin->userinfo are not being filled when the script is on avplay.com.

Billspaintball · #**129** 04-23-2006, 11:11 AM

Im pretty sure its related to cookies somehow.

Do both your forums use the same cookie prefix?

I agree with you Bill. AVPplay.com is not a forum and there is no cookie manipulation on the website.

Spinball · #**131** 04-27-2006, 06:39 PM

Anyone got any ideas on this one? Can this hack work on a website on the same server but with a different domain?
