adding pages to vbulletin

[compgeek83]

I have read a few articles here on checking to make sure a user is a member (and logged in) before they can access custom pages (pages I make). Can someone tell me the code that will work for this?

also, how can I make custom pages show up on the "whose online" page?

also, what is this phpmyadmin tool ive read about on here? and where can i get it?

1. [code]<?php
require('global.php');

if ($bbuserinfo[userid]==0) {
show_nopermission();
}
?>[/php]

2. See hack in Beta Releaes forum.

3. http://phpmyadmin.sourceforge.net/

that code returns "fatal error: Call to undefined function: show_nopermission() in test.php on line 6"

You need to require vBulletin's global.php file, like I showed in my example, or this won't work.

ok, i can get it to work when the file is in the forums directory (http://www.speedforums.com/forums/test.php) using this code

<?PHP
require("global.php");

if ($bbuserinfo[userid]==0) {
show_nopermission();
} else {
echo ('You are a member');
}
?>

but when I put the file at http://www.speedforums.com/test.php using this code

<?PHP
require("forums/global.php");

if ($bbuserinfo[userid]==0) {
show_nopermission();
} else {
echo ('You are a member');
}
?>

i get this error "Fatal error: Failed opening required './admin/config.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php4/lib/php') in u/web/spe177/forums/global.php on line 96"

You need to use chdir(), like this:

chdir('/data/sites/yoursite.com/htdocs/forum');
require('global.php');

changing the path to reflect yours, of course.

Edit: From the error message I think your path is '/u/web/spe177/forums'.
