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

Using vb 4.1.10 and the you visited last info no longer shows nor does the Private Messages Info. Anyone have any idea what needs to be changed to get it to show?

How can i get this to work on a subdomain.

my forum is www.mydomain.com/forum

my test site is test.mydomain.com

my main website is www.mydomain.com

If i go to www.mydomain.com then this script works, if i go to test.mydomain.com then it says i am not logged in even though i am.

What do i need to change to make it work on subdomains?

I was very happy to see this mod, but have not heard anyone say they have successfully installed it on vb 4.2 yet. The thread looks DOA so I assume this is not a good sign.

Anyone? tnx.

Is there any chance to vb 4.2 support of this mod?

I found a way to have it working with VB 4.2.0.
It is very important to read the "trouble shooting" section at the beginning of this post!

In my case it worked by adding the following lines at the beginning of the script (login_inc.php):

$curdir = getcwd ();
chdir('/path/to/my/forum');
require_once('/path/to/my/forum/global.php');
chdir ($curdir);

is there a way to add the FB connect to this script?
