Deluxe vB User login and access control on non vB pages · **Released**: 02-14-2006

Hack Description

This is the deluxe version of the user authentication and access control system I use on the non vB pages on my website.
For the simple no frills version look here.

This uses the vB 3.5 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.

It also displays the logged in users Avatar, number of unread PM's, New posts since last visit, total posts and total threads.
It also allows you to specify a maximum Avatar size, and resize any avatars larger than that, while keeping their height/width ratios in proportion!
Its very handy if you allow large avatars, but want a small format display on your non forum pages.

If the user is not logged in, a login box is displayed, along with total posts and total threads in the forums.

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 is a work in progress and currently a beta version. It was a little rushed as a few people were pushing for it

Its missing a couple of planned things like newest member etc, but they will be added in a later version.

This script has been confirmed as working on

vB 3.5.x - All Versions
vB 3.6.x - All Versions

Known Bugs
Will not display Avatars correctly if they are kept in the file system (database avatars are fine)

Changelog

Try step 5 in the troubleshooting section first https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showp...49&postcount=2
Let me know if that works.

Grasty · #**187** 08-25-2006, 01:41 AM

i didnt think i needed that because i wasnt restricting access to that page. That is the index page

And that fixed the error, but when i log in it still doesnt redirect back to where i logged in from, it goes to the forum home.

Nevermind, apparently sometimes it goes to the forum index, sometimes to where i logged in from.

Is there a way to make it go back to the home page (not forum home) on logout???? it doesnt do that for me

L9IAnime · #**188** 08-25-2006, 05:24 PM

brilliant, just what i needed, /me clicks install

delive · #**189** 08-26-2006, 01:43 PM

What is the code that evaluates the users additional usergroups. Is it possible to check and see if they are part of an additional usergroup?

What should i change
$vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'] == '5'
to?

Mysticales · #**190** 08-26-2006, 04:16 PM

Hey with this code. I could technically connect to my user profiles and pull "x" profile field from it to display in a page table of my site, right?

bandare · #**191** 08-26-2006, 08:59 PM

will this work on 3.6 forums?
