Hi there, I need some quick help. I'm trying to integrate a download system with vbulletin's user databases on my site. The problem is, I need some information on some vbulletin functions before I can do so, I contacted the the author to the download system I want to use, and this is what he said I need.
Quote:
The author of vbulletin would have to advise you where in his script he is inserting the user information for his database. ie. line 513 in process "adduser" or some such thing. I can then provide you with the proper code to insert the record in to the CFiles database.
The second issue is cookies. Most scripts use a cookie to hold username/password info and then the script simply looks for that cookie to determine whether a user is logged in or not. In the case of CFiles it stores a cookie in the form "Username:Password". Vbulletin may store this differently and hence it would require some info from the vbulletin author on how he stores that info in the cookie. I can then provide a hack to allow CFiles to use vbulletin's cookie.
Unfortunately there is no standard method for this database insertion or cookie storage, that I know of. So it requires some to and fro between the vbulletin author and myself to make it work. For my part I'm happy to help as I can, although I don't know anything about vbulletin's internals and dont really have the time to learn how he's doing it. The best bet is if he is prepared to help a little and provide advice on how his program works.

Could anyone please point out where:
1. vBulletin is inserting the user information for the database
2. How vbulletin stores the cookies?
Thank you so much, all help is greatly appreciated.
