I never heard back from that other fellow after I emailed him my scripts but like my message says. Pm me with your email address and I'll send you what I have.

thanks for the scripts. they are good. however, i haven't had time to set up my forum yet and now I'm thinking of waiting for fluxxBB 2.0 or making my own. disappointed with the direction of VB lately since vb5 came out and started thinking maybe the earlier I jump off the sinking ship the better. :P

This is a working script (tested on VB 5.0.1) that will create a random user and then log them in using their ID. If you already know a users ID then you can just log them in using the log_user_in function.

PHP Code:

<?php

chdir("forum/core/"); // change to your core folder location
require_once("global.php");

function create_random_user(){
    $dataman =& datamanager_init('User', $vbulletin);  
    $dataman->set('username', "user".rand());
    $dataman->set('email', rand()."@domain.com");
    $dataman->set('password', "leighf");
    return $dataman->save();
}

function log_user_in($userid){
    $user = fetch_userinfo($userid);
    $auth = vB_User::verifyAuthentication($user['username'], "leighf", $user['password'], $user['password']);
    $res = vB_User::processNewLogin($auth);
    vbsetcookie('userid', $res['userid']); 
    vbsetcookie('password', $res['password']);
    vbsetcookie('sessionhash', $res['sessionhash']);
}

// create random user
$userid = create_random_user();

// log them in
log_user_in($userid);

It's a script in its simplest of states. The usernames password is hardcoded but assuming you know what's going on in the above snippet, you'll be fine adding this yourself.
