VB Login on a Non-VB Page vB3 RC3 · **Released**: 02-02-2004

This is a simple modification to do, and adds a lot of value to your homepage.

Notes:

1. This script can occassionally have conflicts with other javascripts. Test before you deploy.
2. If you use and include to put the file on your page, be sure that the chdir and the require for global.php is in the head of the main document.
3. It is assumed that you are using a php page, and that you have already got connectivity with your database.

The code:

At the top of the document, before the <html> or <head> tags (edit to provide the path for your particular installation):

PHP Code:


			
<?php

  chdir("forum/");

require('./global.php');  

chdir("../); 

?>

Wherever you want your login:

PHP Code:


			
 <?

 



if ($bbuserinfo['userid']!=0) {

$username=$bbuserinfo['username'];

  

print("<align='center'><span class='sectionheader'>Welcome back, $username!<br>");



} else {

   





?>

<form action='/forum/login.php' method='post' onsubmit='md5hash(vb_login_password,vb_login_md5password)'>

        <script type='text/javascript' src='/forum/clientscript/vbulletin_md5.js'></script>

        

         <span class="sectionheader">Username:</span>

            <input type='text' class='button' name='vb_login_username' id='navbar_username' size='15' accesskey='u' tabindex='1' value='' onfocus='if (this.value == 'username') this.value = '';' /><br>

            

            <span class="sectionheader">Password:&nbsp;</span>

            <input type='password' class='button' name='vb_login_password' size='15' accesskey='p' tabindex='2' /><br>

            <input type='checkbox' name='cookieuser' value='1' tabindex='3' id='cb_cookieuser_navbar' accesskey='c' checked='checked' /><span class='sectionheader'>Remember Me</span><br>

        

        

        

        <input name="submit" type='submit' class='button' accesskey='s' tabindex='4' title='Log In' value='Log In' />

        <input type='hidden' name='do' value='login' />

        <input type='hidden' name='forceredirect' value='1' />            

        <input type='hidden' name='vb_login_md5password' />

        </form>

                        <?



 } 



?>

Troubleshooting:

Before requesting support, please check the following:

1. Make sure you have the path to your forum in the chdir. If you haven't done this, you will get a "can't include" error.
2. Make sure you have the chdir in the main document. If it isn't you will get a "can't modify header" error.
3. If those don't resolve the issue, try putting the login in a separate file, with no other code. If it works there, then you will know that you have a conflict with one of the scripts on the page you are trying to add the login to. I can't help you if you've got a conflict with another script.

Anyone? When people who don't have an avatar are logged in, it displays a broken image. Is there anything I can do to fix that? How can I tell the script to just display a link to edit their avatar, or possibly even a default avatar image?

Gutspiller · #**123** 08-07-2005, 03:54 AM

This doesn't seem to work in FireFox.

keymistress · #**124** 08-16-2005, 03:34 AM

sorry fixed the problem...

miguel.simoes · #**125** 08-17-2005, 02:50 PM

Well, I think I'm a winner... I have both erros:

- array_keys()
- $db is not an object

So, what can be done to correct this issue?

UManiac · #**129** 12-15-2005, 11:53 PM

Do I need to load the entire gloabl.php file? or is there any specific secion of it that makes this work?

Thanks in advance

kopfnick · #**130** 12-22-2005, 10:45 AM

I am using this code as it seems to be the easiest way to integrate a login throughout our entire site.

I have a seemingly small problem though which is driving me nutz: The whole menu with login-thingy is inside php file which i include. In the non-forum pages, i of course also include the global.php, which i don?t inside the forum.

Outside the forum everything works exactly as it should.

As soon as you enter the forum, the variable (userid) seems to be empty and the if clause of course doesn?t work anymore...

Site can be found here: http://www.hiphop.at/start

The include inside the forum is put there through the plugin-system, see also here: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showp...32&postcount=1

Any help would be gratly appreciated...
Greets,
kopfnick
