phpprobid & vBulletin - cookie creation when logged in

[PET]

Hello,

I made an integration of vBulletin with phpProBid.
That means when you register to vB you also have the same username to phpProBid and so on.

Now I want to make the logins the same. When I login to phpProBid I want to have the cookies also for vBulletin, when I login to vBulletin I want to have cookies on phpProBid.

Can this be done? Atleast from vBulletin side.

P.S. the usernames are the same on both databases.

No ideeas?

Look at login.php (it will probably lead you to includes/functions_login.php as well).

I did that. But i'm wondering how can I add some login cod that vB has to the phpprobid.

I just need the cookie creation not also the login check that vB does since the check will be made by phpprobid system.

Hi,
This took me ages to figure out, but you need to create two cookies:
setcookie("bbpassword", $password, time()+14400);
setcookie("bbuserid", $userid, time()+14400);
The password is a hashed plain text password, e.g:
$password= md5(md5(md5('$password').'$salt'). $license);

With this, you can auto login to VBulletin from any other page on your site.

HTH!
Slash..

Make sure you use your own cookie prefix instead of 'bb'.

Why would he want to do that? If he used a different prefix, wouldn't that defeat the purpose (being able to login to vbulletin from phpprobid)?

Slashman, thanks for taking the time to post your solution.

vBulletin has it's own cookie prefix set in config.php.....
