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 3.7 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.

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 don't 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

Has this scrip been confirmed with vB4 (release) yet?

Thank you for this!

Right now I am getting a:

Fatal error: Call to a member function query_read() on a non-object in (path)/www/www/forums/includes/adminfunctions.php on line 2399

When it is loaded into a file with WordPress. It does work in a stand alone PHP file.

If you can help me debug this I shall donate! (Basically paying for your services as is only fair.)

I am using 3.8.5.

My demo site is www.gungeuk.com/newdesign and the forums are at www.gungeuk.com/forum

On my site, I have /includes/header.php and /includes/sidebar.php.

On the sidebar is where I want to put the login box, so in my header, I put the code:

PHP Code:

<?php
$curdir = getcwd ();
chdir('/home/gungeuk1/public_html/forum/');
require_once('/home/gungeuk1/public_html/forum/global.php');
chdir ($curdir);
?>

and in the sidebar, I have:

PHP Code:

<?php
   require_once('/home/gungeuk1/public_html/forum/login_inc.php');
?>

where the login box is to go.

However, when I login, it will log me in but still shows the login box on the sidebar.

In my ACP cookie path settings, its saved to /

My path can be found at www.gungeuk.com/forum/path.php

Please let me know how I can get it to show me as logged in.

Thanks

Leigh
