Every time I try to run the code:

PHP Code:

function register($username, $password, $email){
        define('VB_AREA', 'External');
        define('SKIP_SESSIONCREATE', 0);
        define('SKIP_USERINFO', 1);
        define('CWD', $this->forum_path);
        require_once(CWD . '/includes/init.php');

        $newuser =& datamanager_init('User', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_ARRAY);
        $newuser->set('username', $username);
        $newuser->set('email', $email);
        $newuser->set('password', $password);
        $newuser->set('usergroupid', $this->forum_awaiting_confomation_group);

        if(empty($newuser->errors)){
            return $newuser->save();
        }else{
            return $newuser->errors;
        }
} 


Any one got an idea why?

Thanks.

Any one got an idea why?

Yep - Variable Scope.

Booting vBulletin from non-global scope is a bit tricky.

Try the following workaround:

  $vbDb = $registry->db;
  //declare as global vbulletin's registry and db objects
  global $vbulletin,$db;
  $vbulletin = $registry;
  //backup the original $db object (new!!)
  $backupdb = $db;
  $db = $vbDb;

  /*
   * Your code here
   */

  // Restore your $db object (new!!)
  $db = $backupdb; 


I just wanted to say that I was implementing this article with Wordpress and kept getting errors about functions_databuild.php on line 1685. So I added "global $vbulletin" and started having the issue of class_dm.php on line 177 about Registry Object. The above code worked for me.

So here's my function (A combination of those in this article for wordpress)

// Function for vB registration //

function register_in_vb($username, $password, $email){
        define('VB_AREA', 'External');
        define('SKIP_SESSIONCREATE', 0);
        define('SKIP_USERINFO', 1);
        define('CWD', 'ABSOLUTE_VB_PATH' );
        require_once(CWD . '/includes/init.php');

$registry = $vbulletin; 
unset($vbulletin); 
$vbDb = $registry->db; 
//declare as global vbulletin's registry and db objects 
global $vbulletin,$db; 
$vbulletin = $registry; 
//backup the original $db object (new!!) 
$backupdb = $db; 
$db = $vbDb; 

        $newuser =& datamanager_init('User', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_ARRAY);
        $newuser->set('username', $username);
        $newuser->set('email', $email);
        $newuser->set('password', $password);
        $newuser->set('usergroupid', 3);

        if(empty($newuser->errors)){
			$db = $backupdb;
            return $newuser->save();
        }else{
		    $db = $backupdb;
            return $newuser->errors;
        }
		
}

and I called it on wp-login.php in the register_new_user function. I added it right after the User Password Generation so I could pass it to vB.

	// Add the users to vBulletin
	$newuserid = register_in_vb($user_login, $user_pass, $user_email);

That should help some people if you come across this :P

Hello,


A few weeks ago, we launched a website with a custom registration in stead of register.php to add new users. With the help of this forum, we succeeded without any problems.

Since last monday, the register was down. The php-code did not change so we have no clue what so ever what could be the problem.

Error code:

<b>Fatal error</b>:  Call to a member function query_read() on a non-object in <b>/var/www/html/forum/includes/adminfunctions.php</b> on line <b>2403</b><br />

PHP Code:

//load the vbulletin framework
            define('VB_AREA', 'External');
            define('SKIP_SESSIONCREATE', 1);
            define('SKIP_USERINFO', 1);
            define('CWD', PATH);

            require_once(CWD . '/includes/init.php');
        
             //work around to make global vbulletin stick
            $registry = $vbulletin;
            unset($vbulletin);
            $vbDb = $registry->db;
            //declare as global vbulletin's registry and db objects
            global $vbulletin,$db;
            $vbulletin = $registry;
            //vbulletin db object which is needed for vbulletin's project tools addon
            $db = $vbDb;        
            
            $newuser =& datamanager_init('User', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_ARRAY);
            $newuser->set('username', $this->data['User']['firstname'].' '.$this->data['User']['lastname']);
            $newuser->set('email', $this->data['User']['email']);
            $newuser->set('password', $this->data['User']['password']);
            $newuser->set('birthday', $this->data['User']['birthday']);
            
            $newuser->set('usergroupid', 2);  
            
            $userfields['field11'] = $this->data['User']['optin'];
            $userfields['field5'] = $this->data['User']['abo_nr'];
            $userfields['field6'] = $this->data['User']['firstname'];
            $userfields['field7'] = $this->data['User']['lastname'];
            
            
            //userfields
            $newuser->set_userfields($userfields);
            if($this->data['User']['password']!=$this->data['User']['retype_password']){
                $newuser->errors[] = 'password_error';
            }
            
            
            if(!$newuser->errors){
                if($newuserid = $newuser->save()){
                                      echo 'success';exit;
                                }
                        } 


After doing some searching, we found that the error is generated in the function build_options in includes/adminfunctions.php. This function is called in includes/class_core.php in the function check_options.

Does anybody have an idea what could be the problem. It seems that because of some changes in the settings (or something like that), we lost our database-object but didn't change anything to the code itself.

I just happen to pass by here looking for something else and I saw your response.

Did you add a profile field, maybe?

Just a thought. If you get it figured out, please post the solution

(Since this is what I gather from the vBulletin registration script)
The users are created fine and working well, except that all users created with my script get the "Guest" title in their forum posts. And I just can't figure out why.
There are no users in the unregistered/guest usergroup (where people are assigned the "Guest" title), so that's not it.
We have no "Guest" user title in the User Title Manager, so that's not it either.

I'm assuming I'm missing to add some data to some table for each user. Would someone here be able to offer some help?

Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem...Did you manage to resolve this issue? i'm desperate...

Unfortunately, I obtain this:

Fatal error: Call to a member function do_db_fetch() on a non-object in vb_forum/includes/init.php on line 308

An idea?
