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)
