Deluxe vB User login and access control on non vB pages · **Released**: 02-14-2006

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 look here.

This uses the vB 3.5 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.

This is a work in progress and currently a beta version. It was a little rushed as a few people were pushing for it

Its missing a couple of planned things like newest member etc, but they will be added in a later version.

This script has been confirmed as working on

vB 3.5.x - All Versions
vB 3.6.x - All Versions

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

It's me again lol

Thanks for that I did that and worked fine til I tried it on a menu...

When I tried it on menu I got these errors;
Warning: Unexpected character in input: '\' (ASCII=92) state=1 in /home/---/public_html/homepage.php on line 928

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in /home/---/public_html/homepage.php on line 928

This is the code which I tried:

PHP Code:

I'm not much good at this

but once you tell me the problem I should be sorted:erm:

Billspaintball · #**313** 05-01-2007, 10:46 PM

Hi Carl.

Looks like you have missed using \ in a few places.

For example near the top you have

PHP Code:


			


echo &#8221;<img src=”<td style=”background-image:url('http://www.battlestationextreme.com/images/homepage09.jpg'); height:40px”>

but it should be

PHP Code:


			
 

echo &#8221;<img src=\”<td style=\”background-image:url(\"http://www.battlestationextreme.com/images/homepage09.jpg\"); height:40px\”>

Then you have

PHP Code:


			
 

<table width=&#8221;181” border=”0” cellspacing=”0” cellpadding=”0” id=”table16”>

but it should be

PHP Code:


			
 

<table width=\&#8221;181\” border=\”0\” cellspacing=\”0\” cellpadding=\”0\” id=\”table16\”>

and so on for the rest...

If you dont escape every " that is in your HTML inside the echo statement with \ it will cause a premature end to the echo statement and wont work.

CSGCarl · #**314** 05-06-2007, 12:31 PM

Ok well I have looked and replaced all the " with \" but I still seem to get errors for example:

Warning: Unexpected character in input: '\' (ASCII=92) state=1 in /home/----/public_html/homepage.php on line 1039

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in /home/----/public_html/homepage.php on line 1039

PHP Code:

                                        </tr>







                                    </table>\&#8221;;

    } else {

    echo \&#8221;Your not logged in so we display this\”;

    }

?>

I take it this is right?

PHP Code:


			
<?php If ($vbulletin->userinfo["userid"]!=0)

Cheers,
Carl

Billspaintball · #**315** 05-07-2007, 01:12 AM

Hi Carl,
I should have been a little clearer.
You need to escape the " that are part of the HTML code, not the " that are part of the PHP code.

Yes thats ok, thats part of the PHP code so dont escape them.

Hope that all makes sense

Wow, I love it! Thank you very much for making this.

TheAlchemist · #**317** 05-08-2007, 10:02 AM

ok......I have saved the following in a test.php file located in my website root (local machine)

Code:

<?php
$curdir = getcwd ();
chdir('c:\inetpub\wwwroot\tradinglab\forums');
require_once('c:\inetpub\wwwroot\tradinglab\forums\global.php');
chdir ($curdir);
?>
<html> 
<body> 
This is a heading<br /> 
This is some more stuff <br /> 
And another line<br /> 
You get the idea<br /> 
Just place stuff as you normally would with HTML<br /> 
I use CSS to style and position on my site fwiw<br /> 
<br /> 
How about we put the login box right under here?<br /> 
<br /> 
<?php 
    require_once('c:\inetpub\wwwroot\tradinglab\login_inc.php'); 
?> 
</body> 
</html>

when I run the script this is what I get:

Code:

Notice: Undefined index: REQUEST_URI in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\tradinglab\forums\includes\class_core.php on line 1952

Notice: Undefined index: REQUEST_URI in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\tradinglab\forums\includes\class_core.php on line 1952

can someone help me iron this thing out? thanks in advance

That error is from a vB file that we dont touch. Its called by vB's global.php file (I think).
I would hazard a guess that its something to do with a server setting, or possibly your cookie path setting in your vB control panel.

Quote:

This error is usually caused by whitespace before

PHP Code:


			
<?php

$curdir = getcwd ();

chdir('c:\inetpub\wwwroot\tradinglab\forums');

require_once('c:\inetpub\wwwroot\tradinglab\forums\global.php');

chdir ($curdir);

?>

however in this case it could well be caused by your initial problem.

TheAlchemist · #**319** 05-08-2007, 12:53 PM

you are definetly right. I installed Vb on a live server, uploaded your hack and it works like a charm. thank you very much!!!!

CypherSTL · #**320** 05-15-2007, 01:13 PM

First of all, great hack.

I am having one issue though.

Code:

Warning: getimagesize() [function.getimagesize]: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Temporary failure in name resolution in /home/ulancom/public_html/modules/login_vB36.php on line 34

Any ideas why it would be doing this?

Hey,

I'm still having a problem I've fixed other but...

Code:

Code:

Code:

												</table></td>\";
	} else {
	echo "Your not logged in so we display this";
	}
?>

Error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in /home/-----/public_html/homepage.php on line 1016

And line 1016 is:

Code:

Code:

echo "Your not logged in so we display this";

I can't see whats wrong there.

If some one could help me out this would be great.

Regards,

Carl
