Connector API for vBulletin

What it does
Allows you to access vBulletin functions and data through an API. This is useful if you want to tie vBulletin into a larger site and allow the users to only have 1 login for site/forum.

Allows other applications to edit data in vBulletin

Warning
This API opens up a lot of the internal functions of vBulletin, use it carefully and do not trust any input from the browser. Clean and validate your inputs!

Installation
Unzip the files into your the root of your forum
You may need to change

PHP Code:

/* User changable options */
// change this to your forum path.
$forumroot = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."forum";
/* end of User changable options */ 


in the connector.class.php if your forum doesn't sit in /forum/ on your site.

The checkloggedin.php don?t work....the login.php is success but the checkloggedin.php sais "you are not logged in"

With the login.php and logout.php i can login correctly...i check it in the forum home and is fine..but i can?t check the login status with the checkloggedin.php. My VB is 3.5.4...Any idea?

If you do:

PHP Code:

print_r($_COOKIE); 


Does it return values for bbsessionhash, bblastvisit, bblastactivity etc?

What is the best way to use this with another app?

Create a new user in the other app right after the registration user addUser?!

Yes...

In the checkloggedin.php file...

Array ( [panel] => a6f27d70e8e57c021cdae26984d7f232 [PHPSESSID] => 0a2fd7dc2169e9cd63065e4d31f4xxxx [bblastvisit] => 1147717890 [bblastactivity] => 0 [bbuserid] => 348 [bbpassword] => 2eb747ede87107257bac080bxxxxxxxx [bbsessionhash] => d3cf58a53dd98e657028aa9fb05594be [bbthread_lastview] => 54355fc31b0b2eb1e1f86bd672764313a-1-{i-12114_i-1147718592_} [vbulletin_collapse] => [bbreferrerid] => 0 [bbthreadedmode] => [bbstyleid] => 0 [bblanguageid] => 0 )

does the site need to be on the same host provider? or would this work with ANY site, so to speak?

[cristianmerz]

Yes. My webhosting is www.xmundo.net

At the moment, yes. It needs to be included directly into the file you want to use the API with.

I may include some SOAP interaction later on.

I'm unsure why it's not working. It uses the same code as vbulletin to intialize.

Try clearing your cookies and try logging in again

You can maintain two user tables if you want. The application I'm building at the moment is just going to use vbulletin as it's user base, then any extra information i need for a user will be stored in a seperate table against their userid
