Redirect pages with login forms on them to a custom URL?

[HouseAddict]

How would I redirect those STANDARD_ERROR pages with login forms on them to a custom login URL easily? I am just using a 3rd party login script instead (that sets all the necessary vB cookies).

Is there a way through the Plugin Manager or something, tying some sort of an action to vB and redirecting it all to a custom URL?

Anyone have a clue what/where/how?

Thanks!

You could try something like this: create a new plugin using hook location error_nopermission and code like this:

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] == 0)
{
   $vbulletin->url = login url;
   print_standard_redirect('nopermission_loggedin');  
}

Obviously you want to put in your actual URL. Also, nopermission_loggedin is a phrase that kind of says what you want. You can create a phrase that says exactly what you want, but the print_standard_redirect() function will normally use a redirect so that users won't see that message. If you want to force users to see the message (the function will use a different method of redirect that will show the message for a few seconds beforehand) then you can change the parameters of print_standard_redirect(), like:

   print_standard_redirect('nopermission_loggedin', true, true);

Another approach might be to find the phrase that includes the login fields (the phrase varname is "not_logged_in_fill_in_form"), and change it to have a message like "click on this link to go to the login page" (and put in a link, of course).

nice! that worked! thanks.

now, how would you (if possible at all) add the current URL you're on into that redirect url?

so, for example, the user is trying to leave a reply on /forum/showthread.php?10-ABC

and I want that $vbulletin->url to point to "/login?redirect=/forum/showthread.php?10-ABC" ??

just so they get back to the same URL they came to the login form from?

possible?

You could try:

$vbulletin->url = '/login?redirect=' . urlencode($vbulletin->url);
