External Login on non 3.5.0 page

[Paul_Hollibone]

Hello all, I am in a diddle of a pickle at the moment.

I recently upgraded to vBulletin 3.5.0 from 3.0.8. All was fine till I realised the code I had on my site (an external login script) would not function. So I have come to you guys with a request.

I am after a External Login Code which can be placed on my .php page, which will let users login, then be re-directed back to the page they logged in from, with a little messege which says "Welcome back Paul_Hollibone, Click Here to Logout".

Now something like this is absolutoly mandatory, as a vital function for members logged in only cannot be used (due to some sort of cookies conflict with the code, and 3.5.0), meaning they cannot access the area I like to call "The Memories Sector", so has anyone attempted to make another code for this function, or is anyone able to?

Thanks in advance,
Paul.
