The Arcive of Official vBulletin Modifications Site.

I am about to purchase and install vBulletin but have a question and the folks at vBulletin suggested I come here to ask.

My site, http://www.classic-british-cars.com, offers a membership that allows members to post classified ads. Ideally, I would like to have vBulletin where all site visitors could read the forums but only members could add/reply in the forum. My system for charging for membership creates a ID/Password file. Has anyone hacked a system to allow reading of a password file to restrict access?

Thanks for any advice or help.

well you can set the options so members can post and non members can just read, that's easy and doable with normal vb.

no such a hack isn't around as i know, but i think it should be possible to create such a hack to get password out of file instead of getting it out of the db....

Or (IMHO the easier way) edit your original script to use the vB user table instead of an external source.

There is a classified ads module for vBPortal, which is a portal system you can add on to vBulletin.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
