Simple vB User login and access control on non vB pages · **Released**: 12-01-2006

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

Changelog

Version 1.10 (24th April 2007)

Fixed - // in paths bug
Fixed - Javascript warning in some browsers
Fixed - Tidied up some code

Version 1.0 (2nd December 2006)

Very similar to my vB 3.5 version, however logout bug fixed and should be more compatible with other scripts on your page.

I like the user authentication system that PhotoPost and ReviewPost utilize from Techimo.

I don't care about showing avatars and have no desire to do so. I just want the same functionality as PhotoPost has.

Does this hack do the same thing?

What exactly is it doing or not doing?
Any error messages?
A little more info please.

Edit:
Your path statement up the top is wrong.
I suspect that your path statement may not be correct.
Do the 2nd step of the troubleshooting guide (post 2) and see what you get.

Jasen Hicks · #37 01-30-2007, 11:16 PM

Thanks, looking back i realized that 2AM coding is a bad idea

I feel ashamed now.

We tried to track it down with an earlier release of this but with no luck.

A workaround others have used is use vBexternal for the front page and this hack on the rest to provide access control.

Here you go, took me a hour to solve. ^^
