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.

I have installed this on vb3.5.4 and it works great.

Is there an update for 3.6.1?

Thanks,
Dan

I'm working on an update at the moment

Will also be looking at a way to seperate the code from vbulletin as much as possible

I've been pretty disappointed by vB's lack of an API, and otherwise sometimes sloppy and poorly documented codebase (I know I may get some major boo-hiss on that comment, but I'm a Java and .Net programmer).

That having been said though, major props on this! It would be good to see the addition of methods for all major vBulletin functions, like subscribe to thread(s), post/reply (actually submitting a post/reply), account maintainence, etc. Lots of people already have sites/CMS'es that do a pretty darn good job of profile management, and it doesn't make sense for a user to maintain two profiles.

Hi, after I've updated to 3.5.7 I still recieve a fatal error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function unlock_tables() on a non-object in /var/www/virtual/domain.tld/forum/htdocs/includes/functions.php on line 4488

Seems an object isn't initiated.

I have also encountered errors evalutating usernames with special chars.

Into my DB i have registered an user called <~^_ Th? T?s7 _^~> so if i try a

$obj->doLogin('<~^_ Th? T?s7 _^>', 'hispasswd');

i can't get the user logged.

Is there some VB API class/method who correctly converts special chars ?

Hi,

I´m using vbulletin 3.6.4

login works correctly for me,
but checkloggedin doesn´t work

any idea? I´m desperated

thanks

works fine on 3.6.4, however i had to make one change to class_core.php

line 2381 from

define('TABLE_PREFIX', trim($this->config['Database']['tableprefix']));

to

define('TABLE_PREFIX', trim($config['Database']['dbname'].".".$this->config['Database']['tableprefix']));

i think its probably to do with my code, not yours, but it may help some one else out ;-0)

Hi Noodles,
I've installed the API and I have a few questions. Is there any documentation on the classes? For example, what does the third parameter on the doLogin mean? It's called "$cookiesend" but I don't really know what it does.

Have said that, there are other simple questions I have which could be easily answered with some documentation. Is there any documentation? thanks.
