Integration with vBulletin - Simple vB User login and access control on non vB pages

Hack Description

This is a cutdown version of the user authentication and access control system I use on the non vB pages on my website.

This uses the vB 3.6 login system to log you in and out. It allows you to move between your forums and other pages on your site while remaining logged in.

It allows you to do things such as restrict pages by usergroup, display different content depending on a user being logged in or not.
For example, you can have banner Adds displying to non members only, and/or let members access to specific content.

Ive cut it down to the bare minimum that it needs to work, no fancy stuff such as avatars, PM's, or even formating.

I will try and offer support, but work and family commitments mean I dont have much free time.

This code is a mix of my own, and pieces I have used from other hacks that are floating around.

This script has been confirmed as working on

• vB 3.6
• vB 3.6.1
• vB 3.6.2
• vB 3.6.3
• vB 3.6.4
• vB 3.6.5

<?php
If ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid']!=0)
{
echo "Your logged in so we can display this";
} else {
echo "Your not logged in so we display this";
}
?>

Change that to:

<?php
If ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid']!=0)
    {    
?>

insert logged in html  code here
<?php
    } else {
?>
insert not logged in html code here
<?php
    }
?>

Not sure about this version, but try the vB3.7 releaseif you want to use it with vB 3.8, it should work

Also, initial testing shows that the vB3.7 release works with vB4.0 beta 3
