Simple vB User login and access control on non vB pages · **Released**: 12-01-2006

Hack Description

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

This uses the vB 3.6 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 displying 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 dont 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

vB 3.6
vB 3.6.1
vB 3.6.2
vB 3.6.3
vB 3.6.4
vB 3.6.5

Changelog

Version 1.10 (24th April 2007)

Fixed - // in paths bug
Fixed - Javascript warning in some browsers
Fixed - Tidied up some code

Version 1.0 (2nd December 2006)

Very similar to my vB 3.5 version, however logout bug fixed and should be more compatible with other scripts on your page.

Global.php may redefine $page.
Im not sure if $page is a vB variable or not.

If possible try renaming your variable to something different such as mypage and see if that fixes it.

I tried alot of random names like , "exile, happy, thispage,content, con etc etc" thats not the case. I guess its something to do with global.php

. I hope someone can figure out a way around this if not im screwed

Just realized im using the deluxe version but it still a real error

Billspaintball · #79 03-26-2007, 11:51 PM

Looks like you have it all fixed now.
I created an account on your forums and logged in and out ok.
What was the problem in the end?

Account I created was billtest, you may want to delete it now.

jeramie78 · #80 03-26-2007, 11:54 PM

I removed this part of the code
which i really wanted to use. and wish i could still use

PHP Code:


			
// +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

// we want do display stats either way so they go here

// +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++



// get total number of threads and posts

$getstats = $db->query_read('SELECT threadcount, replycount FROM ' . TABLE_PREFIX . 'forum');

while ($forum = $db->fetch_array($getstats))

{

    $totthreads += $forum['threadcount'];

    $totposts += $forum['replycount'];

}

$totthreads = vb_number_format($totthreads);

$totposts = vb_number_format($totposts);



// display total threads and total posts - Uses vB phrases, but change if you like

echo"<br /> $vbphrase[threads]: $totthreads<br />$vbphrase[posts]: $totposts<br /> ";



// Only display link and number of new posts if logged in

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid']!=0) {



// finds number of new posts

$newposts = $db->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS count FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post AS post " . iif($vbulletin->options['threadmarking'], 'LEFT JOIN ' . TABLE_PREFIX . 'threadread AS threadread ON (threadread.threadid = post.threadid AND threadread.userid = ' . $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] . ')') . " WHERE dateline >= " . $vbulletin->userinfo['lastvisit'] . iif($vbulletin->options['threadmarking'], ' AND dateline > IF(threadread.readtime IS NULL, ' . (TIMENOW - ($vbulletin->options['markinglimit'] * 86400)) . ', threadread.readtime)'));

$newposts = vb_number_format($newposts['count']);



echo"<a href=\"".$forumpath."search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getnew\">$vbphrase[new_posts]</a>: $newposts<br />";}

//  end of number of new posts stuff

also it doesnt show the avatars when signed in

im using 3.6.5

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
