Well I'm currently in the process of writing a new site, and a few of the features I want require modifications to the vBulletin database*, and I was wondering - whats the best way to do this? I can't just include global.php, since the site is on a completely separate domain (But same server) as my forums. And while I could change permissions for the site's user, I would rather not as its a possible vulnerability.
(HOWEVER! I have absolutely no problem with connecting to the vBulletin database from the site... Or moving key files to the other domain)
*Modifications (Some of them at least) :
Create new forums
Assign moderators to forums
Change settings, description, etc. of forums
Check a hidden profile entry against a local db (For user confirmation... I don't want a shared userdb)
