Integration with vBulletin - Deluxe vB User login and access control on non vB pages

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 [URL=https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=173693look here.[/URL]

This uses the vB 3.7 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.

Known Bugs
Will not display Avatars correctly if they are kept in the file system (database avatars are fine)

breaks the page's layout.

Example here:

http://members.thinkteen.co.uk (original page)
http://members.co.uk/m2.php (Page broken + no login box)

Should that not be a server path and not a address? eg it should be '/home/username/public_html/

[snunhuck]

hmm, I'll see if it works

PHP Code:

<?php
$curdir = getcwd ();
chdir('/home86a/sub005/sc46797-PRWR/community');
require_once('/home86a/sub005/sc46797-PRWR/community/global.php'); 
chdir ($curdir); 
?>

Nope Still broken.

here's the page I'm trying to implement: http://members.thinkteen.co.uk/m2.html It's meant to look like this: http://members.thinkteen.co.uk

This mod only works with php pages, not html pages.

Good point - I forgot to do it and here's the new error:

Warning: getimagesize() [function.getimagesize]: Unable to access /mounted-stoarage/home86a/sub005/sc46797-PRWR/community/image.php?u=1 in /mounted-storage/home86a/sub005/sc46797-PRWR/members/login_inc.php on line 35

The forum URL is http://community.thinkteen.co.uk - (aka. on a subdomain)

Hi,

I had implemented this code and it was working fine. My password had presently expired and my homepage looks scrambled. It is not redirecting to the forum page where it shows password expiry message.

If I go to the forums page, by typing http://www.example.com/forums then the message shows up.

Can you please guide me on how I could rectify this error?

Thanks,
G
