Hey,

I'd like to try and use vBulletin's user login mechanism throughout the rest of my site but I'm not sure how to determine in the vBulletin tables whether a user is currently logged in or not. I'm currently able to query against the vBulletin MySQL DB everywhere on my site outside the vBulletin code. Anybody know what tables/queries I would need to make against the DB to determine if the current session belongs to a current userID that's currently logged in? I know there's got to be a way to do it.

Include vBulletin's global.php - then most variables you need will be available to you.

Aaaah ... if it were only that easy. The problem I have is that the rest of the site is run in ColdFusion and not PHP. So I can't include the global.php. We have the boards running on a different server than the rest of our ColdFusion site (don't ask).

I can connect to vBulletin's MySQL DB via ColdFusion so I'm trying to see if there is a way for me to query the DB to see about whether a user is currently logged in or not and act accordingly. In essence integrate the boards login features into the rest of our site.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
