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

Hey Bill:

Out of curosity, does this support multiple unique domains and subdomains,?

Ie. vBulletin is here: http://www.myvbinstall.com
But login pages are at http://beta.mydomain1.com
http://placeholder.domainworld2.com

?

Any idea what would be causing the attached error, and how to fix it? The only javascript that is included in the page is from the login_inc.php file.

Thats very hit and miss Im afraid.
Some have been able to do that, but others havent.

You can try, and there is some information on that in the troubleshooting guide but dont be too disapointed if it wont work.

Easy way would be to just make that page in a vB forums page.
Theres a couple of hacks here that do just that.
