Simple vB User login and access control on non vB pages · **Released**: 11-16-2005

Hack Description

This is a cutdown version of the user authentication and access control system I use on the non vB pages on my website.

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.

Ive cut it down to the bare minimum that it needs to work, no fancy stuff such as avatars, PM's, or even formating.

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 script has been confirmed as working on

Hey

I've installed this but right now the login box is right at the top of my page (see www.realmofhorrorcomics.com) How do I put the login box where I want it on the page?

Thanks!

Just one other question, how do I edit the text:

Welcome Back, Username here !

... when a user is logged in?

Thanks!

In the file login_inc.php, look up the top for this (around line 5)

PHP Code:


			
// Display welcome back message

echo "Welcome Back, <b>";

echo $vbulletin->userinfo['username'];

echo " !</b><br>";

You can change the text, fonts, styling etc.

Sorry for all the questions, but is there a way to show the user avatar when they are logged in?

Sure.
Thats what I have on my own site.

Its a bit more complex than this hack.
I'm going to release it as a seperate hack when I get around to tidying the code up a bit.

Post the actual code that you are using in login_inc.php and on your other page.
Plus any error messages and an accurate desctripion of what happens and what does not.
Also, what version of vB are you running?

ausnrl · #58 02-01-2006, 05:28 AM

I am running 3.5.1 but i dont think that would cause any issues Would it? If your going to do an update when you think it will be updated?

The files of my coding etc are attached

Billspaintball · #59 02-01-2006, 05:44 AM

OK, problem is your using a subdomain for your forums, which is known to cause issues with scripts like this (vB security related Im told).

There is a couple of things you can try.

1st, in login_inc.php change the paths to this format

Code:

http://www.nrlleague.com/forums/

I noticed you can reach your forums with both URL's so give that a go first.

If you have no luck with this approach then try this
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....1&postcount=27
then if that fails, try this
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....1&postcount=34

Let us know how you go.
