Integration with vBulletin - Simple login page/box/code for external pages

Ever wondered how you could add your own login box or fully customized login page outside your VB forums?
Ever had problems with other solutions that require a lot of files, PHP coding that in the end need a lot of tweaks or can give you a big headache?

Well, the problem is now solved.
100% Reliable
100% Bug Free*
No Uneeded codes running
No PHP knowledge required


*if you use the code properly

By just using the same piece of code used in every Vbulletin pages I've managed to create login pages, boxes in any page I wanted outside my forums. Works 100% and by just following the instructions (2 simple steps) you'll be able to add and customize your login page wherever you want.

There is a screenshot of an example page built with this code that it's fully customized and logins to the forums on another domain. Just an example of what you can do.

The ZIP file contain the code instructions and 2 HTML pages with the code inside.
There are two versions of the code: With or Without "Remember me?" checkbox.

Hope it helps.
If you've found this useful, had problems with other methods of external login, etc, consider donating a small amount, I'd appreciate

Now I will try it.

Yup, I would like to have the same of smooth-c has requested. This becouse I can use this one in order to login an user on my forum.. but I want to make a login form and then a 'welcome box' in order to redirect my user to the same page, where they can see his welcome message (with avatar, if possible)..

Can this be used for an external domain as well? such as subdomain or domain1.com and domain2.com If so could u paste the appropriate code for me


Thanks in advance.

Awesome hack... thanks!

I added the highlighted portion so that the site would open up in a new window

<form action="http://MySite'sURL/login.php?do=login" target="_new" method="post" onsubmit="md5hash(vb_login_password, vb_login_md5password, vb_login_md5password_utf, $show[nopasswordempty])">


Thanks!!!

Now see this is a great mod, But I dont like external scripts for 1 reason, I tell my mmebers never to use one of these that directs to my forum for the fatal cause that someone probably implemented a logging code to get their login, thats one reason why I dont use these and tell my members only to loging directly on the forums. Otherwise this is a good code.

Many thanks indeed!

I see something interesting here. The code has referrences to a php variable and the javascript function mhash() in the onsubmit, which aren't in the html page (or included). Yet it still works. In fact, I removed all references to the function and php variable, and it *still* works! Perhaps the vBulletin login.php page sees missing values and generates them at that point.

This is the html code, amazingly:

<form action="path-to-your-forum/forums/login.php?do=login" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="do" value="login" />
<input type="hidden" name="url" value="path-back-to-your-original-page" />
<input type="hidden" name="vb_login_md5password" />
<input type="hidden" name="vb_login_md5password_utf" />
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="cookieuser" value="1" id="cb_cookieuser" tabindex="1" />
<label>Username:<input name="vb_login_username" type="text" id="login" tabindex="1" class="bginput" accesskey="u"/></label>
<label>Password<input name="vb_login_password" type="password" id="password" tabindex="1" class="bginput" /></label>
<input name="submit" type="submit" id="submit" tabindex="1" value="Login" accesskey="s" class="button" />
</form>

! Cheers, Jeffrey

Thanks! I'll be releasing an update soon with improvements on the code, update to the latest Vbulletin version (just going to do a few checks) and releasing a update that will make possible for users to show a "logged in" box in external pages. Coming soon.
