Yet Another vB Login on non-vB Page

This is not a plugin, nor is it a code modification. It is a separate script, so just configure the attached script, FTP it to wherever, and then call it from your browser. Once you test it out, you can edit the script to show whatever content you desire. Look at the code to see where to set your content. If you don't like this script, try mcahill's vB login on a non-vB page here.

If you use this script, click the install button. This allows you to receive update notices, should any be sent. It is also a nice way to say thanks!

Fine Print: Obviously, use at your own risk. Support is not guaranteed. This script may not be redistributed!

Did you ever come up with an exmaple for this Calorie?

What I'd like to see is something that:

1. Writes the forum header
2. Writes the breadcrumbs
3. Runs any PHP script, capturing its oputput as a variable via ob_start/ob_capture/ob_stop - thus avoiding header already sent/redefinition errors
4. Writes the script output
5. Writes the forum footer.

This script is great!

<!-- / small login box -->

With the following:

</tr></table><br /><br />

And then save the readme, execpt the instructions, as a template called smallloginbox and
then use the following:

eval('$smallloginbox = "' . fetch_template('smallloginbox') . '";');

To get the template, and then use $smallloginbox like you would use $navbar to show the content.

You can also add smallloginbox to $globaltemplates if you want to cache the template.

Love this hack great work

Ive got the hack working good, but i want to edit the navbar so its a template like in this post i have quoted from you but i am not sure where to put this:

eval('$smallloginbox = "' . fetch_template('smallloginbox') . '";');

one problem i am having is with the CSS.

my forum:
http://www.bluepearl-design.com/forums

the index of my site using this script:
http://www.bluepearl-design.com/index.php

As you can see alot of the background images in my tables are not showing at all and i cant figure it out :S

this is my CSS: in style manager (MAIN CSS)

#a1 {
background: url("http://www.bluepearl-design.com/forums/images/Frost/Frost/a1.jpg");
}

and here is my table code:

        <td width="150" id="grid" align="center"><img src="http://www.bluepearl-design.com/forums/images/Frost/Frost/b1.jpg" width="150" height="23" border="0" alt="" />

I know this will work perfectly if use the <b>background </b> tag in the table but i want to use CSS to keep my site XHTML compliant.

Any help will be appreciated, thx

everything is working great..thanks alot!

one quick question...upon hitting log out, how can i redirect so that after the log out process has been completed, it comes back to the original log-in page that i have?

the way it is right now, if you click on log out, then you are taken to vB's logout that indicates "All Cookies have been cleared" and leaves you there rather than kicking you back to the main login page.

thanks!

[msnhockey]

for seem reason when placed on my index.php page the stuff shows up, but when I log in and then re-directs back to my index.php page it is asking for me to log in again.

any ideas as to why.. I am thinking session cookies or something

[kwchan]

finally works for me, but I have to put everything in the root folder as the forum

the script don't work if the php files are in another folder
