Adding vbulletin login check to an external page

[expatdirectory]

HI,
I know this is possible but I cannot remember how I did it last time and lost the reference.

I have a form that I only want to allow my forum users access to. Basically I want to put the login check in the header so:

if logged in: I can get the user name to add with the form
if not logged in: will display the normal you need to register message.

Anyone point me in the right direction?

I tried several searches but to no avail, I know the snippets on VB.org as I referenced it a year back, forgot to subscribe to it!

First, your custom page should be coded following the directions in an article like this one - [How-To] vBulletin API Basics: Creating Custom Pages & Misc. Then just add something like this:

PHP Code:

if (!isset($vbulletin->userinfo['userid']) OR $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] == 0)
{
        print_no_permission(); 
}

Its working a treat Lynne. Now I just have to figure out how to get the username into a hidden form input and hey presto. Takes a bit of lateral thinking but hoefully will be able to pull it off. If I figure it out I'll post it here for reference
