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
  • vB 3.5.x - All Versions


Changelog

Version 1.30 (24th April 2007)

  • Initial Release

1st up.
Subdomains + scripts + vB are a known problem, and not always fixable.

2nd.
Had a look at the source behind http://www.nrlleague.com/indexnew2.php On the site your links are in the format forums.nrlleague
Change them to the nrlleague.com/forums link and see if that fixes it.

This simple one only does stuff like the sample in this post https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....98&postcount=2
I wanted to keep this to the bare minimum of complexity so anyone can use it with much knowledge of php.

The more fully featured one will have the stuff like avatars and PM's on it like on my site. I havent had time to tidy up the code on it yet. It will be simple to upgrade, just change the login_inc.php file.

Sorry, I havent found any simple way around a cross domain cookie issue like this.
The only way I can think of is if you actually hacked vB's login.php to get it to post the variables back.

I guess the other way would be to create an own login that is querying the vb database... but I doubt I have the knowledge to do that w/o opening security holes...

Thx anyway... I'm going to stick with my interim solution and use the normal login I created, apart from vB.

If you're modularising this code into sub-functions, don't forget to "global $vbulletin;" at the start, or your script will never realise that anyone is logged in. It took me hours to figure that tiny little thing out. Grr.

Additionally, I have this extension working fine across subdomains (forums on community.mydomain.org with the extension on www.mydomain.org). Make sure you have your cookie domain (Admin CP -> Cookies -> Cookie Domain) set to ".yourdomain.com". I also have this set in my php.ini file (but probably not strictly necessary). I'm not using any other special hacks or modifications to integrate my subdomains either, it's a very standard setup.

Oh, and, one other thing you might want to check: Admin CP -> General Settings -> Post Referrer Whitelist. Make sure ".yourdomain.com" is listed in there too, so your subdomains can post forms to each other without any complaints.

Is it possible for us to hook 4image using this hack? I try to other 4image interation, but it give too much error and does not work well. I think the code for for that 4image is too busy. I have not heard from that coder lately.

If yes, please show me the step thank ahead
