$vbulletin->$userinfo ?

[cellarius]

Hi,

I'm working on a vb-powered comment system for my site, and I'm quite done - just one last problem I don't get solved (probably a real dumb one...)

I already checked whether the user is logged in. Now, a new thread is to be created. For this I'm using code from the "How to create a thread"-thread. As long as I define a variable for the userid, it works like a charm. But when I try to read the userid of the currently logged in user, something goes wrong. Here's the relevant part of the code I'm using:

PHP Code:

    // Start of vB
    define('SKIP_SESSIONCREATE', 1);
    define('DIE_QUIETLY', 1);
    define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'buchtipp_3');
    
    // Change working directory but remeber old one
    $cwd = getcwd();
    chdir($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/forum');

    // Include files
    require_once('./global.php');
    require_once('./includes/class_dm.php');
    require_once('./includes/class_dm_threadpost.php');

    // Initialize thread/first post class
    $threaddm = new vB_DataManager_Thread_FirstPost($vbulletin, ERRTYPE_STANDARD);
    
//****Here something goes wrong...****

    // variables
    $userid = $vbulletin->$userinfo['userid'];
    $forumid="44";
    $postuserid = $vbulletin->$userinfo['userid'];
    $username = $vbulletin->$userinfo['username'];
    $allowsmilie = '1';
    $visible = '1';
    $views = '1';
    $dateline = TIMENOW;
    
    $threaddm->do_set('forumid', $forumid);
    $threaddm->do_set('postuserid', $postuserid);
    $threaddm->do_set('userid', $userid);
    $threaddm->do_set('views', $views);
    $threaddm->do_set('username', $username);
    $threaddm->do_set('pagetext', $pagetext);
    $threaddm->do_set('title', $title);
    $threaddm->do_set('allowsmilie', $allowsmilie);
    $threaddm->do_set('visible', $visible);
    $threaddm->do_set('dateline', $dateline);
    $threaddm->pre_save();
    if (count($threaddm->errors) > 0)
    {
            // Do some error work
    }
    else
    {
        $tid = $threaddm->save();
        require_once('./includes/functions_databuild.php'); 
        build_forum_counters($forumid);
        define('IN_SCRIPT', '1');
        include 

    }
    
    //  Change working directory back    
    chdir($cwd); 


Clues anybody? Thank you!
