Integration with vBulletin - Simple vB User login and access control on non vB pages

Hack Description

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

This uses the vB 4.0 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 displaying to non members only, and/or let members access to specific content.

I've cut it down to the bare minimum that it needs to work, no fancy stuff such as avatars, PM's, or even formating. (That is in the Deluxe version - not yet released)

This is not supported, but if any questions / issues are posted here (not PM'ed or emailed) I will try and answer them if I have 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

• vB 4.0 beta3

Change log

Version 4.00 (15th November 2009)

• Initial vB 4.0.x release

Click on Install
If you have this script installed then please click on the install link because;

• You will get notified if any security issues are reported.
• You will get notified when there are any upgrades to this script
• It gives me a warm fuzzy feeling and motivates me to develop more

Script is working like a peach for me, had to require the global file on every page and the login script and it all worked as it should. Thanks.

If i login through my forum, and then return to my frontpage, where my loginbox is located it will show me as logged in. However I cannot get it to log me in from the frontpage through the login script. I think it might be a cookie problem or something similar.

First thanks for this mod too.

I have integrated it into a yii framework based web app and it works fine but i still get those warnings. I have tried usinge the absolute path and some oder things but nothing worked.

Do u have some other suggestions to get rid of this warnings?

Works perfectly on my site ^^



I got the same thing first too, but you need to put the full path to your forum, not just /forums/.

So /home/username/public_html/forums/ for an example. It will work
