Vbulletin Rails integration

[deepu256]

Hi all,
we have been using vbulletin for our discussion board for long time now. once we had a very active community we began writing more web apps. Till now since all were written in php we didn't face any problems with authentication. we simple used vbulletin to see if a user is logged in or not and redirected accordingly. all this is possible because i can just simple "include vbulletin file".

now we are planning to use ruby on rails for coding an app. how can i still use vbulletin to check whether a user is logged in or not ? i also need his userid and username variables and then use them in my rails app.

Any ideas on how to do it ?

Cheers,
Deepu.
