I know this question was asked earlier, but it was never answered.

Is there any way to handle the case where the password you have is an md5 hash? I don't like sending passwords in the clear, so my login pages do the md5 hash before sending up to the server, so I don't have access to the actual password.

Any ideas?

OK, I've managed to answer my own question. It turns out that you can use md5's also. If you pass in a plain-text, it will md5 it. But if you pass in an md5, it will use it as-is (basically it just checks to see if the password is 32 characters long - if it is, it assumes it's an md5).

So it "just works". Cool! :up:

I don't know if this has been covered yet but if you would like to show the username and userid in your activation mail you just have to set $username and $userid to the appropriate values.

I answered this one myself

$activateid = build_user_activation_id($newuserid, 2, 0);
eval(fetch_email_phrases('activateaccount'));
vbmail($email, $subject, $message, true);

Thanks. But, when you do $userdm->save, won't the user is automatically activated? I assume that you used the code in https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=31;

All right. This entire integration thing works partially for me. After getting frustrated, I wrote the program to get the user data from the form and update the Vbulletin tables directly.

Here is the logical flow:

1. I updated user and useractivation tables with the user information. I set the usergroupid as "3" (users waiting for email activation group) in user table and added the row for the new user in useractivation table. This row will be deleted when the user activates the account.

2. I sent the activation email to the user. This is a nice thing, because I can customize the email format. If a user registers in the main site and the forum sends the activation email, it looks kind of weird. Because some users of our CMS site don't even know what is a forum.

3. User clicks the link in the activation email. Program checks the activation id in the useractivation table. If everything is ok, the usergroupid is changed from 3 to 2 in usertable. Activation record in useractivation table is deleted, because it's no longer needed.

Ok. All works well. The user can do anything he wants just as he would normally do when he registers using forums/register.php.

But..(you know it's coming!) there is a headache for the admin. In the admin control panel, username, email, IP, and all those fields are EMPTY for this user. Options like receive admin email, PM options, etc., are all set ok. Only the username, email, IP fields are empty.

Do I need to update another table? Doesn't admin control panel use the user table to display the user profile?

Personally I got very odd:"Existing data passed is not an array" while using amatulic's class and when doing:

Quote:

$userdata['username'] = $_POST['username'];
$userdata['password'] = $_POST['password'];
$userdata['email'] = $_POST['email'];
$forum->register_newuser($userdata));

What maybe the problem? Anyone?

I guess this has something with vBulletin's way to manage database connections

--------------- Added [DATE]1215719381[/DATE] at [TIME]1215719381[/TIME] ---------------

This doesn't help:

Quote:

$cwd = getcwd();
chdir('.../forum');
require_once('global.php');
chdir($cwd);

--------------- Added [DATE]1215760256[/DATE] at [TIME]1215760256[/TIME] ---------------

ok. for some unknown reason in the userdata_convert function exist the following line:

Quote:

$vbuser = array( 'username' => $userdata['userid'] );

but why?! I guess it has to be:

Quote:

$vbuser = array( 'username' => $userdata['username'] );

I've moved amatulic's class in the different place, stored variables in $_SESSION and called header redirect to it. So that now it has totally separated namespace. However I'm not sure if this is secure thing to do.

As I've figured out, there is some problem with login part, cause as soon as I turned it off, I was able to register user in vBulletin. At least it has showed up in the database.

--------------- Added [DATE]1215760677[/DATE] at [TIME]1215760677[/TIME] ---------------

It is "function fetch_userinfo_from_username" that does the trouble. It is not able to retrieve the information from database with its:

Quote:

...
global $vbulletin;
$useridq = $vbulletin->db->query_first_slave("SELECT userid FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user WHERE username='{$username}'");
...

Any ideas how to correct this?

--------------- Added [DATE]1215769463[/DATE] at [TIME]1215769463[/TIME] ---------------

ok. for some reason $login variable is set to true in register_newuser so that it tries to login user by default as soon as he/she is registered. However it seems that user is not inserted in database yet, when the function tries to login him/her. I don't know why, but that's what happens. So I've turned $login to false, like this:

Quote:

function register_newuser(&$userdata, $login = false)

Also I rewrote db connection, but I think It worked without it. Now everything works. Thank you amatulic. I've lost two days figuring out the faults, but thanks god it works and that's the best news

Here is my working version if anyone's interested:

//==============================================================
// class ForumOps - intended to be used with vBulletin 3.7.2
// by Alex Matulich, June 2008, Unicorn Research Corporation
//
// Setup:
// ------
//
// 1. First, make sure FORUMPATH is defined properly below.
//
// 2. Next, make sure the function userdata_convert correctly converts
// an array of your own user data to an array of vBulletin user data.
// Minimally, you need to convert your data to an array containing
// the keys 'username', 'password', and 'email'.  If your data array
// already contains these keys, simply have userdata_convert return
// the original array, otherwise translate your array to a vBulletin
// array having those keys.
//
// Usage:
// ------
//
// At the top of your php modules where you need to perform vBulletin
// user operations (creation, deletion, updating, login, and logout),
// put these two lines (where MY_PATH is the path to this file):
//
//     require_once(MY_PATH.'/class.forumops.php');
//     $forum = new ForumOps();
//
// Now get your user data array from $_POST or whatever.  Let's call
// this array $userdata.  Here's what you can do:
//
// CREATE AND REGISTER NEW USER:
//
//    $errmsg = $forum->register_newuser($userdata);
//
// UPDATE EXISTING USER DATA:
//
//    $errmsg = $forum->update_user($userdata);
//
// (In this case, $userdata need contain only the username and anything
// else you wish to update, such as password and/or email address.)
//
// $errmsg contains any error messages separated by <br> codes.
// If no errors occured then NULL is returned.
//
// DELETE USER:
//
//    $forum->delete_user($username); // $username = user name
//
// LOGIN USER TO THE FORUM:
//
//    $forum->login(  // requires array to be passed
//       array('username' => $username, 'password' => $pw);
//
// LOG OFF USER FROM THE FORUM:
//

One additional note. I don't use update and delete functions of this class, so I didn't test them. Have that in mind when using.

Is there any chance that this'll work, cross site? I'd added a forum on a different server to my main site and I wanted to sync the signups so when someone signs up on my main site it signs them up on the forum.

Any advice??

Regards,

Jonaid

ArbuZz · #**107** 07-14-2008, 09:55 AM

You can use cURL php extension, however I do not know whether it is active by default. With cURL you can call any remote php script and pass parameters to it through the ordinary POST, just like you do it from HTML form.

Hi threre,

I've got some trouble running the PHP code from the first post. To be honest - I'm not so familiar with PHP

It would be great if anybody could have a look into this ...
(I already posted this issue in the german board http://www.vbulletin-germany.com/for...ad.php?t=38534 and was advised to ask the author of the code

)

Below you'll find the (entire) code which I use in a PHP file (called createuser.php).

I started the code by entering http://www.xyz.de/_forum/createuser.php in the URL-field of my browser.

Code:

 

<?php
define('VB_AREA', 'External'); 
define('SKIP_SESSIONCREATE', 1); 
define('SKIP_USERINFO', 1); 
define('CWD', '.'); 
require_once(CWD . '/includes/init.php'); 

$newuser =& datamanager_init('User', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_ARRAY); 
$newuser->set('username', 'selter'); 
$newuser->set('email', 'selter@xyz.de'); 
$newuser->set('password', 'geheim'); 
$newuser->set('usergroupid', 2);  
$newuserid = $newuser->save();  

?>

Unfortunately I got this error message:

Quote:

Fatal error: vb_error_handler() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'DIR/includes/functions_log_error.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php') in /xxxxxxx/htdocs/_forum/includes/class_core.php on line 3247

Where is the bug???

Thanks
Selter

I am having the same error coming up when using the following code. The db object seems to empty when updating the user stats. The strange thing is that the user was created succesfully, before vbulletin crashes with this error:

$newuser->set('password', $userinfo->password_clear);
$newuser->set('usergroupid', $usergroup);
$newuser->set('password', $userinfo->password_clear);
$newuserid = $newuser->save();

This is the final hurdle before releasing a Beta version of JFusion, a revolutionary Joomla universal bridge. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Marius
