Integrate vB with portal script

http://www.fudgecakedesign.co.uk/justforyou/

Take a look - it's something i'd looked at before, but now it's totally free to download

I wonder if one of you experts might take a look at it and let me know if it's possible to integrate the member database of both systems, so that our users simply register once for the whole community - and get to personalise the lot

Anyone ? Or maybe this is something which John/James might wish to investigate once V2.0 is out ?

usergroupid
Users are seperated into user groups - registered users, super moderators, etc. Each user group is refered to by a number.

parentemail
If a user is under age (13 ?) then the parent must give express permission for them to participate.

coppauser
A Yes/No flag - Yes if the user is under the age required by COPPA

adminemail
I *think* this is a Yes/No flag to determine whether the user wishes to receive email communication from the forum admins.

usertitle
Each user has a user title - Junior Member, Senior Member, etc. based on the number of posts, or the settings in their given user group.

customtitle
You can force a user to have a unique user title - for example 'Webmaster' - by entering this name in the usertitle field and setting this flag to Yes.

daysprune
The user can set the number of days of posts which they wish to view when they view the forum list.

idxgroups
Pass...

Hope this helps.

BTW, is there any way which we can incorporate external scripts into the personalisation system ? ie we might want to allow users to select if they can view the poll or not on 'their' page...

Thanks for the info. I'm working on it!

As regards the ability to use other scripts on the user's personalised page; yes, it is possible. You can set up a 'cell' (described in the Just for You manual) as either a news feed, raw text file or another PHP script. Remember that CGI scripts cannot be incorporated however.

This is getting a bit OT for this forum. Perhaps you would like to post further questions to my forum at http://www.fudgecakedesign.co.uk/justforyou/forum/

Thanks Peter,
I must have missed that - i'll go back and look a little more carefully... Most of the includes on that page are PHP anyway - the poll *is* Perl, but i'm looking to replace that with a PHP script soon, as the server guy tells me there might be some security risk with the system we're using now...

Neither did I realise that you have your own support forum (well, I thought you did, but I couldn't get to it yesterday...) so i'll take a look there. It IS vBulletin, right ?

I'm working on getting vBullein and Just for You to work together. I was just wondering if you could tell me if vBulletin allows you to view lists of registered users and their profiles in a site admin section. If so, what's the URL going to be?

Secondly, could anybody give me any information about the cookie(s) that vBulletin sets to remeber who you are between sessions please?

Thirdly, for sites wishing to run Just for You and vBulletin together, I assume it would be fine just to use vBulletin's profile pages etc.? This would mean that any links to 'View Profile' would link to the vBulletin script page rather than one created by Just for You.

Lastly, could anyone tell me if it is possible to get technical information for version 2.0 which I believe is going to include customisation of the forum pages?

Many thanks,
Peter.

Seeing as Peter is making these alterations at my request (although it will benefit all later when things are finalised) would it be a problem for me to supply him with the relevant vB files ? If not, would vB be willing to allow him a copy for development purposes ? I am positive that this would benefit a good number of customers, and would likely attract more customers in the near future...

Hopefully that would be cool cause I also am one waiting for this

Well I was planning on buying my own copy of vBulletin tonight to develop the new features for Just for You.

Rather unfortunatly I can't seem to progress further than the 'You're just connecting to DigiBuy' page - my browser claims to be Authenticating User for over 10 mins before cutting out.

A bit OT I know but did anyone else have this problem?

Cheers,
Peter.

This is very exciting. I hope that these two programs can be integrated succesfully.

*BUMP*
