Members Only Access Page

[RobAC]

I'm not sure if what I'm looking for can really be considered a hack or not, but, I am integrating a chat room into my forums. The chat room runs on an external server. All I would like to do is set up a php page that will use vBulletin's authentication system to insure that only logged in forum members can go to the chat room log in page.

I had a simple php script page set up that would recognize logged in forum members and using a custom template, send them to the page to log into the chat room. If they were not a member of the forums, they would receive the "you do not have permission to access this page" message.

This page was working prior to upgrading to vB 3.0 from 2.3.4. How can I do this again utilizing the new/updated vB3 authentication code?

it works the same way.

you have to include forum's global.php and check if bbuserinfo[userid] > 0

I can't get it to work...

PHP Code:

<? 
require( "./global.php" ); 

if( $bbuserid ) { 

$user = $DB_site->query_first( "SELECT username 
FROM user 
WHERE userid = $bbuserid" ); 
$bbusername = $user[ username ]; 
eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('chat_hack')."\");"); 
} else { 
eval("dooutput(\"".show_nopermission()."\");"); 
} // end if 
?>

PHP Code:

<? 
require( "./global.php" ); 

if( $bbuserinfo['userid'] > 0 ) { 

eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('chat_hack')."\");"); 
} else { 
eval("dooutput(\"".show_nopermission()."\");"); 
} // end if 
?>

well this is vb3 so it should probally look somthing like this

PHP Code:

  <?php 
// ## Error Reporting ##
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
// ## Sets Enviroment  ##
define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);
// ## Grabs global.php ##
require_once("./global.php");
if (!$bbuserinfo['userid'])
{
 print_no_permission();
}
?>
