Password protect non vb pages (e.g. for admin pages)

This is not really a hack just a handy piece of code. You can use this to password protect individual pages. The username and passwords are taken from the vBulletin database.

Currently this is set to allow only usergroupsid 5 and 6 (admin and super moderators) through [example use as admin area protection]. This could be changed though to allow anyone through if registered, or for specific usergroups etc.

The code is in authvb.php
An example is give in authtest.php

Hope this is of use to some people. If there's some interest I'll tidy it up a bit.

Also, it would be easier to change user groups if you had something like this.

PHP Code:

$usergroups = '2,6';

$sql = "SELECT * FROM vb_user WHERE username = '".$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']."' AND usergroupid IN ($usergroups)";

I was happy to get this working, but then found that if you come in via a forum login and then move to the page protected with the script, it prompts you for username and pw. Shouldn't it know that you are already logged in?

Anychance of making the script require login to download stuff?

I'm trying out a program - Webscriber which creates an easy subscribe/unsubscribe page for email-lists.(list with check-boxes)
I'm using this with ezmlm,.(by entering ezmlm announcement list addys in the Forum Manager - rcv all new posts) for memers of our forum who want the ability to subscribe/unsubscribe to `Receive all Posts per Forum'

Basically I need the Webscriber page accessible only to members...

Will this do it?

Thanks,
Mark

Hello,

I have a problem with the script. I had it working fine with VB2 but when I upgraded to VB3 it doesn't seem to work. It keeps on asking for my login details and after 3 attempts tells me that Authorization is required lol.

Can anyone shed any light on what I am doing wrong?
I have also tried the suggestion by JumpD but that made no difference

Thanks in advance
