Errors when including global.php

[Xia]

Ok, so I have changed the code to :

PHP Code:

<?php
function test() {
    global $phrasegroups;
    global $specialtemplates;
    global $globaltemplates;
    global $actiontemplates;

    chdir('/home/wa/public_html/forum/');
    $phrasegroups = array();
    $specialtemplates = array();
    $globaltemplates = array();
    $actiontemplates = array();
    require_once('./global.php');
}

test();
?>

But it still doesn't work

[Xia]

anyone ? :s

[Xia]

No replies, does this mean it's impossible to do??

[merk]

it just means noone has a solution to fix your problem.


Now that I've read your requirements, no. you will not be able to do this to use it inside a class.

It is still possible, and since you're already mucking around with classes i dont see why you'd need help to copy the data_managers init function to make it work.

you will need to reproduce init.php's behaviour to initialise any variables the datamanager requires.

I'll look into that, thanks!

Btw, is there also a login function in that class or anywhere else which I can easily use from outside Vb? That would be very nice.

[merk]

im not sure. if there is one itll be in /includes/.

I'm having this problem too. Did anybody find a solution? How do other people integrate vbulletin with their application?

Hi Xia,

(Hope is not too late.. well, it will serve someone else if it's too late for you )

Here's the code to get an instance of vbulletins' registry object (a.k.a $vbulletin).

I've placed toghether a couple pieces from various threads here in vb.org (including some of them from this same one, and from https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=112388)

You can place the function as a method in your class and call it statically like:

PHP Code:

$vbInstance = &yourClass::_getVbulletinRegistryInstance() 


(remember to use '=&', not just '=' here )

I've successfully tested this and used a datamanager, and it worked perfectly (created thread and post correctly :-D)

This follows a singleton pattern, so you'll never overwrite the instance, even if the instance was created by vB itself.

PHP Code:

function &_getVbulletinRegistryInstance() {
    define('SKIP_SESSIONCREATE', 1);
    define('DIE_QUIETLY', 1);
    define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'vbSupport');
    $GLOBALS['phrasegroups'] = array();
    $GLOBALS['specialtemplates'] = array();
    $GLOBALS['globaltemplates'] = array();
    $GLOBALS['actiontemplates'] = array();

    $cwd = getcwd();
    chdir($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/forum'); 

    if (!isset($GLOBALS['vbulletin'])) {
        include_once('./includes/init.php');
        $GLOBALS['vbulletin'] = &$vbulletin;
    }
    chdir($cwd);

    return $GLOBALS['vbulletin'];
} 


regards!

Why isn't it possible to create a session? I would like to display the username on an external website if a user is logged in in the forum.

No one has the answer? I'm interested me too.

I'm struggling with this as well. Please help.
