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.

Anyone know a way to get the default template to show up on non forum pages? I'm sure I've seen this before but can't find where!

You could just change that to

PHP Code:


			
chdir("../");

There was a missing "

And how did you guys get past the cookies error?

Found something that should have been mentioned. You have to set your cookies to work on your full domain, not just your forums. Otherwise works well.

Logging out doesn't seem to log out the users from the non-vb page all the time if they have "Remember Me" checked...

Ghostspy · #59 06-14-2004, 10:06 PM

if you use post nuke how will this work??

Mu5icMan · #60 06-15-2004, 03:12 PM

does anyone know how to rewrite this code for use with *.wml files.

StewardManscat · #61 06-15-2004, 11:30 PM

Curious.
When I try this, I get redirected back to my custom login page.
So I add:

PHP Code:


			
if ($bbuserinfo['userid']!=0) {

  header("Location: forum/index.php");

  exit;

}

Works ok ...but.

But now for some reason the userid cookie is not set. Other cookies are: hash, lastvisit etc. But not the userid.

So the login is good so long as I remain within the forum system. But if I move into my custom site (or the photopost subsystem), the username reverts to "Guest". Because the code is not picking up the userid cookie.

I can code to lookup the sessionhash instead, but now I think I am travelling too far in the wrong direction.

Vewy stwange. Any guidance much appreciated.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
