Site Integration with VB3

[MuratCetin]

Hi,

I want some help for integration of vbulletin and my own codes.

Firstly, I must use the $bbuserinfo[] variable on my portal site. I just tried to read user informations from cookie and also db but it doesn't work. My codes are like this:

PHP Code:

$cookie_userid = $_COOKIE[$cookieprefix.'userid']; //vbulletin3 userid
$cookie_password = $_COOKIE[$cookieprefix.'password']; //vbulletin3 password
$bbuserinfo = $db->query_first("SELECT * FROM ".$tableprefix."user WHERE userid = '$cookie_userid' and password = '$cookie_password'"); // $bbuserinfo variable for my portal 


I know to include all vbulletin variables from global.php to my page but I don't want to do this. Is there any way to use $bbuserinfo variable without include global.php?

Thank you so much for your answers.
