look. I tried

PHP Code:

chdir ('../../vbulletin/');
require_once('./global.php');  

echo "<pre>";
print_r($vbulletin->userinfo);
echo "</pre>"; 


The global variable It's ok. But when I print the data of the $vbulletin->userinfo at my page, I receive this

Array
(
[userid] => 0
[usergroupid] => 1
[username] => N?o Registrado (User not registered)
[password] =>
[email] =>

[lastvisit] => 1274807054
[tzoffset] => -2
[lastvisitdate] => 25-05-2010 15:04
....
}

I can acess the variable, but the information doesn't correspond to my session because at this time I was logged at the forum.

help me! Please

Are you sure you are logged into the forum? Have you checked the session table to verify this?

I'm logged now. I only can see the forum if I log in.

After the log in I tried again the test page and I receive the same thing!!

look

Array
(
[userid] => 0
[usergroupid] => 1
[username] => N?o Registrado
[password] =>
[email] =>
[styleid] => 1
[languageid] => 4

I looked at the session table and my user Id was there.


I don't know what to do.

What are the lines you are currently using in your code?

edit: Also, you noted that I said you needed to call global.php AT THE TOP of your page, right? Not in the middle of a script.

And you must be on the same cookie domain.

I'm doing it. Top of the page.

PHP Code:

<?php

//chdir ('../../vbulletin/');
require_once('./global.php');  

echo "<pre>";
print_r($vbulletin->userinfo);
echo "</pre>";

New information:

I put the file at the same forum's folder and I receive the same thing. This is so strange.

Array
(
[userid] => 0
[usergroupid] => 1
[username] => N?o Registrado
[password] =>
[email] =>
[styleid] => 1
[languageid] => 4
[lastactivity] => 1275121931
[daysprune] => 0
[timezoneoffset] => -3
[dstonoff] => 1
[showsignatures] => 1
[showavatars] => 1
[showimages] => 1
[showusercss] => 1
[dstauto] => 0
[maxposts] => -1

In the Admin CP the cookie domain was "blank". Are there something wrong? My forum was instaled at public_html/OPS/vbulletin/.


Thanks for help me.

[Lynne]

I put a page with this exact code into my vb folder:

PHP Code:

<?php

//chdir ('../../vbulletin/');
require_once('./global.php');  

echo "<pre>";
print_r($vbulletin->userinfo);
echo "</pre>"; 
?>

And got this:

Array
(
    [userid] => 1
    [temp] => 
    [field1] => 
    [field2] => 
    [field3] => 
    [field4] => admin
    [field5] => Lynne
    [field6] => Yes
etc

So, the script works. There is something going on on your end that is causing it to not work.

[ritter10]

do you have any idea?

Cookies and HTTP Header Options
Path to Save Cookies: /
Cookie Domain: blank

Are there other place in the admincp where I can see more options/configurations about session and cookies?

If you aren't putting that page into the vbulletin forums directory, then it isn't going to work as is. You would need to use the chdir line. So, where are you putting it (let's see your directory structure) and then what is your chdir line?

[Tibald]

I also tried this script, all working correctly

I have a question about login with external script - now trying to understand the logic from login.php file... Maybe, anybody can get me advice or code example for login (user authorization) with external script?

something like this:

$dir = getcwd();
chdir(getcwd().'/forum');
include_once('global.php');
chdir($dir);
