VB Login On Non VB Forum Page

[mattfl]

Let me try to explain this to see if anyone can give me any help.

I have on my website, a photo gallery that I want people to have to login with a username and password to view. I also have vb setup on the same website.

Idealy, people goto the gallery pages first then the forums, if someone does not have a login to the gallery page, I'd like it to load the vbulletin registration page have them go thru that registration and save that info.

The end result being, when someone registers for the gallery, they can use that login for the gallery and the forums.

Is this possible in any way? Is there a way I can stick the vb username/password box on the gallery page and when someone logs in have it authenicate with the vb database?

Can anyone think of another way to do this? The gallery must have a username/pw on it, and ideally that same username/pw would be able to be used on the forums as well. Thanks
