VB Login on a Non-VB Page vB3 RC3 · **Released**: 02-02-2004

This is a simple modification to do, and adds a lot of value to your homepage.

Notes:

1. This script can occassionally have conflicts with other javascripts. Test before you deploy.
2. If you use and include to put the file on your page, be sure that the chdir and the require for global.php is in the head of the main document.
3. It is assumed that you are using a php page, and that you have already got connectivity with your database.

The code:

At the top of the document, before the <html> or <head> tags (edit to provide the path for your particular installation):

PHP Code:


			
<?php

  chdir("forum/");

require('./global.php');  

chdir("../); 

?>

Wherever you want your login:

PHP Code:


			
 <?

 



if ($bbuserinfo['userid']!=0) {

$username=$bbuserinfo['username'];

  

print("<align='center'><span class='sectionheader'>Welcome back, $username!<br>");



} else {

   





?>

<form action='/forum/login.php' method='post' onsubmit='md5hash(vb_login_password,vb_login_md5password)'>

        <script type='text/javascript' src='/forum/clientscript/vbulletin_md5.js'></script>

        

         <span class="sectionheader">Username:</span>

            <input type='text' class='button' name='vb_login_username' id='navbar_username' size='15' accesskey='u' tabindex='1' value='' onfocus='if (this.value == 'username') this.value = '';' /><br>

            

            <span class="sectionheader">Password:&nbsp;</span>

            <input type='password' class='button' name='vb_login_password' size='15' accesskey='p' tabindex='2' /><br>

            <input type='checkbox' name='cookieuser' value='1' tabindex='3' id='cb_cookieuser_navbar' accesskey='c' checked='checked' /><span class='sectionheader'>Remember Me</span><br>

        

        

        

        <input name="submit" type='submit' class='button' accesskey='s' tabindex='4' title='Log In' value='Log In' />

        <input type='hidden' name='do' value='login' />

        <input type='hidden' name='forceredirect' value='1' />            

        <input type='hidden' name='vb_login_md5password' />

        </form>

                        <?



 } 



?>

Troubleshooting:

Before requesting support, please check the following:

1. Make sure you have the path to your forum in the chdir. If you haven't done this, you will get a "can't include" error.
2. Make sure you have the chdir in the main document. If it isn't you will get a "can't modify header" error.
3. If those don't resolve the issue, try putting the login in a separate file, with no other code. If it works there, then you will know that you have a conflict with one of the scripts on the page you are trying to add the login to. I can't help you if you've got a conflict with another script.

I downloaded this hack, work great! I only need some more stuff when the member is logged in. Like the avatar image, new pms, last visited? I know there are codes for this, but can someone help me get these?

Thanks!

please some hack to login in ASP page..but i other webserver, diferent that forum server.

Chrissicom · #25 03-14-2004, 08:42 AM

hmmm I put the code on my index.htm on IIS 6 and it is just working fine, no need to rename it to .php (the .htm file is XHTML 1.1 compliant, but I don't think this affects the php code to working or non-working).... do I need to have index.php on Apache or it won't work?!?

cerebro · #26 03-15-2004, 04:53 PM

yeap, not need .php but you have the forum and website in the same SERVER.
I have one computer for my board, and another for my Forum...

brownafroduck · #27 03-20-2004, 05:19 PM

This seems to work great for me so far, but I have a question...

Can someone explain what is happening in the first piece of code? Just what does it mean and what is it doing?

Thanks.

Kumaro · #28 03-20-2004, 07:57 PM

Okay, I finally got this hack to work with my PHPnuke 7.1. There's still 1 problem remaining. It logs in and returns to the main page, however the message does not change to "Welcome username", it always shows the login form....I made it into a phpnuke block, so it is in its' own file. The login is successful, but there is no welcome page.

PHP Code:


			
if ($bbuserinfo['userid']!=0) {

$username=$bbuserinfo['username'];

  

$content = "<align="center"><span class="sectionheader">Welcome back, $username!<br>";

^^is that being ignored or something?

That's the exact problem I'm having with the javascript. The script works, but I always get an error when the page loads (before I login). I tried this hack without the javascript and it still works fine.

So, why is this line of javascript needed to login?
<script type='text/javascript' src='/forum/clientscript/vbulletin_md5.js'></script>

Thanks.
