I'm not sure this is possible, but here's what I'd like to do. My organization would like to have some content/pages that are for members only. Is there any way to set it up to have vBulletin control access to those pages? So that certain pages are password protected?

My goal is to not have users have 2 IDs and passwords but just control it out of one place.

Is there a plug-in to do this or some other way to accomplish this?

If you include ./global.php to your script, you will have access to all vB functions and variables.

There are a few HOW-TO and ready hacks to use vB functions on external pages also.

Thanks for the reply. I am not really a technical person and so it's a miracle that I have done as much as I have. Where can I find how to include a global.php for controlling an html page or some of the other how to's?

Thanks again!

You can find the basics of what you need below. The tutorial will guide you through the basic page setup and if you read on, how to limit access to certain usergroups through conditions.

Ive done just that to my site.
Entire site, (non vB) pages access are restricted on a vB usergroup basis.
Uses the vB login/logout system for all pages.

Its not a plugin (there's no modification to any vB files, templates etc).
Im going to write up a quick guide and post it here when I get a chance later this week.

That is exactly what I need! Thanks!

If anyone has some clear instructions on how to accomplish this, please let me know. I am not technical, though with instructions have been able to muddle my way through.

What I want to do it for some of our HTML pages have them secured so that when a member goes to a secure page if not they are prompted to logon where they use their vBulletin username and password.

I don't want to apply vBulletin styles to these html pages and want to preserve the style of the our regular HTML pages.

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