Password Non VB Pages Using VB Member Info

This works on ALL VB version

This was created by an Admin (CyberGaf) on my site for the simple reason we wanted to make non vbull pages passworded and available only to members.

The full install details are in the zip file and TBH if you cant get this up and running its time to give up.

This can also be used on html pages I am told but have not tried it.

You can even set which user groups are allowed to view the page.

# Vbulletin GROUP ID's
# default setting = Admin & Super Moderators
#
# 1 Unregistered / Not Logged In
# 2 Registered
# 3 Users Awaiting Email Confirmation
# 4 (COPPA) Users Awaiting Moderation
# 5 Super Moderators
# 6 Administrator
# 7 Moderators
# 8 Banned
# 9 Moderated
# 10 Gold Member
# 11 Platinum Member

Please note the above usergroups are for our forums and therefor will not be available on your forum.

Or by changing usergroupid = '5') to userid ='users id') you can set the script to allow only specific users to view the pages.

This is not so much a hack but a handy little addon and it DOES work.

It's wonderful

I tried to install this hack on a Linux server with .htaccess support but can't login after the pw box comes up. I have the usergroup set to 2 and 6. Tried with a reg. user account and an adminstrator account.

Once the person is logged in, how can I get their username?

To put this on a page do I just put $auth on the page? If not how do I put it on a page O_o

Beautiful.

One question - does your remote login inherit the cookie duration you've established on your vB account?

That is, if I'm set up on vB to remember my password for a year, will I be prompted again every time I visit the remote page or will it remember me via cookie?

Thanks.

I'm curious:
What permissions did you give for the following?

ok i modified it a bit

PHP Code:

    if ( $num != 0 ) { 
        $auth = true; 

        while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)){
            $userid=$row['userid'];
            $username=$row['username'];
        }
    }

yup, I've tried with admin and registered user. The box pops up but doesn't accept my password.
