integrating vBulletin with a custom CMS?

[vooood]

Hi!

Here's what I would like to do. I'm working on a game based on CodeIgniter framework and PostgreSQL and would like to have vBulletin as the community for the game.

I have a finished design that I would like to use as the basic shell (header, footer, and menus) and I wonder which SHELL templates do I need to edit for this (I know some but not all)?

Is there a way to disable login of users and get information on cookie format so users are automatically logged in to the forum when they login to the game?

Where could I find information on adding new users to vBulletin using direct database access and not the vBulletin form?

Thank you in advance.
