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.

would there be any way to do it so instead of making sure that the user is logged in, it would make sure that (a) the user is logged in, and (b)the user is in a certain group...

jfreyholtz · #73 08-19-2004, 05:58 PM

Shouldn't requiring global.php on any page on your site include those users online?

I have it included on all my pages (ie, /blah.php and not just /forum/*.php), and have login enabled for all pages (which works great), but those users aren't showing up in the Whos Online piece on the forum.

Any ideas why it doesn't?

Jargon · #74 08-21-2004, 01:59 AM

Its still not showing Welcome Back, Username! any ideas?

AlexSFBay · #75 08-25-2004, 11:25 PM

This hack is GREAT, but I was wondering if anyone figured out a way to not have users on non-vB pages showing up on the forum's "Who's Online" page, which results in:

Guest | Unknown Location (followed by the non-vB page URL)

* I tried closing the script hack by adding mysql_close (); to the end of the script, but it didn't change anything. Any suggestions?

Tayeb · #76 08-27-2004, 02:00 PM

Hello all:

I have a login system working outside vb actually under phpnuke and am at at the moment refining it, to release the hack next week as my new contribution to vbulletin.org.

The ideas can be used in other portal system. If you want to have a look at the login check at:

Jargon · #77 08-29-2004, 07:49 PM

Ah its still not working. Anyone have a better version?

After a while of debugging my problems and so on, i managed to get all this worked out.

Let start with the problems I had. After I logged in, I would still get the login form instead of the welcome back message. I fixed that by first making sure that vb3 was setting the cookies for my whole server, by using .bayareamuscle.com as the domain. I also had to put the initiation code, that calls/requires globals.php, at the very top of the php page:

At the top of my non vb3 page:

PHP Code:


			
<? 

chdir("./forum/"); 

include('./global.php');   

chdir("../"); 

?>

The rest of the code was the same. I just used that where i needed the login box.

So that fixed my problem witht he login box always showing up.

Now on to the avatar on this page. This was actually very simple, all i had to do was add 3 lines to the current code.

Lets start with the including of the required files:

PHP Code:


			
<? 

chdir("./forum/"); 

include('./global.php');   



// added this line to include the user functions which 

// has the fetch_avatar_url() function

include('./includes/functions_user.php');



chdir("../"); 

?>

PHP Code:


			
<? 

if ($bbuserinfo['userid']!=0) { 

    $username=$bbuserinfo['username']; 

    



    // i assigned the avatar url to the variable $user_av and check to see if it's empty.

    $user_av = fetch_avatar_url($bbuserinfo['userid']);

    if($user_av!='')

       $user_av="/forum/" . $user_av;  //replace "/forum/" with your virtual path to your forum pages.



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

    

    //if the avatar url is not empty, display it

    if($user_av!='')

        print("<img src="" . $user_av . "" vspace=4>"); 

} 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> 

                        <? 



}

Hope this helps. Ofcourse, now you can also use all the other functions in the functions_user.php include, so check out what it offers.

Sorry for the ugly code, but I just came up with it no more than 3 mins ago and since this page was still open, i figured i'd contribute with what i found. now ya can take care of the clean up.

p.s. you can see this work at BayAreaMuscle.com, you are going to have to login as user: DemoUser and password: demo, i created an avatar for this demo user.

Pz!

This worked Great ty for the info

the machine

heres a screenshot since most of you won't see anything

kelangtri · #79 09-12-2004, 06:26 AM
