VB Login on a Non-VB Page vB3 RC3 · **Released**: 02-02-2004

This is a simple modification to do, and adds a lot of value to your homepage.

Notes:

1. This script can occassionally have conflicts with other javascripts. Test before you deploy.
2. If you use and include to put the file on your page, be sure that the chdir and the require for global.php is in the head of the main document.
3. It is assumed that you are using a php page, and that you have already got connectivity with your database.

The code:

At the top of the document, before the <html> or <head> tags (edit to provide the path for your particular installation):

PHP Code:


			
<?php

  chdir("forum/");

require('./global.php');  

chdir("../); 

?>

Wherever you want your login:

PHP Code:


			
 <?

 



if ($bbuserinfo['userid']!=0) {

$username=$bbuserinfo['username'];

  

print("<align='center'><span class='sectionheader'>Welcome back, $username!<br>");



} else {

   





?>

<form action='/forum/login.php' method='post' onsubmit='md5hash(vb_login_password,vb_login_md5password)'>

        <script type='text/javascript' src='/forum/clientscript/vbulletin_md5.js'></script>

        

         <span class="sectionheader">Username:</span>

            <input type='text' class='button' name='vb_login_username' id='navbar_username' size='15' accesskey='u' tabindex='1' value='' onfocus='if (this.value == 'username') this.value = '';' /><br>

            

            <span class="sectionheader">Password:&nbsp;</span>

            <input type='password' class='button' name='vb_login_password' size='15' accesskey='p' tabindex='2' /><br>

            <input type='checkbox' name='cookieuser' value='1' tabindex='3' id='cb_cookieuser_navbar' accesskey='c' checked='checked' /><span class='sectionheader'>Remember Me</span><br>

        

        

        

        <input name="submit" type='submit' class='button' accesskey='s' tabindex='4' title='Log In' value='Log In' />

        <input type='hidden' name='do' value='login' />

        <input type='hidden' name='forceredirect' value='1' />            

        <input type='hidden' name='vb_login_md5password' />

        </form>

                        <?



 } 



?>

Troubleshooting:

Before requesting support, please check the following:

1. Make sure you have the path to your forum in the chdir. If you haven't done this, you will get a "can't include" error.
2. Make sure you have the chdir in the main document. If it isn't you will get a "can't modify header" error.
3. If those don't resolve the issue, try putting the login in a separate file, with no other code. If it works there, then you will know that you have a conflict with one of the scripts on the page you are trying to add the login to. I can't help you if you've got a conflict with another script.

and sessions.php line is:

The creator of this script has NEVER repliedto anyones posts, shouldnt this be removed or something as it is clearly not working or maybe a notice in his post saying that it has bugs.

Just a suggestion

Here's how I finally got it to work. I had conflicting database statements so I just read the database right from the index.php file.

I placed this near the top of my index.php file:

PHP Code:


			
<?

$userid   = $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['bbuserid'];

$password = $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['bbpassword'];

$vbhost   = "localhost";

$vbuser   = "your_db_username";

$vbpass   = "your_db_password";

$vbname   = "your_db_name";

$vb=mysql_connect("$vbhost","$vbuser","$vbpass");

mysql_select_db($vbname,$vb) or die ("Forum Database Connectivity Error");



$vbsql=mysql_query("select * from user where userid = '$userid'");

$vbinfo=@mysql_fetch_array($vbsql);



$username=$vbinfo[username];

?>

Then, where I wanted the logon box, I placed the following:

PHP Code:


			
<?

if ($username) {

    print "<font class=title><b>Welcome back $username!&nbsp;&nbsp;</b></font>";

} else { 

?>

<!-- login form -->

<script type="text/javascript" src="forum/clientscript/vbulletin_global.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="forum/clientscript/vbulletin_menu.js"></script>

<form action="http://www.yourdomain.com/forum/login.php" method="post" onsubmit="md5hash(vb_login_password,vb_login_md5password)">

<script type="text/javascript" src="forum/clientscript/vbulletin_md5.js"></script>

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="3" border="0">

  <tr>

    <td class="title">User Name</td>

    <td><input type="text" class="button" name="vb_login_username" id="navbar_username" size="10" accesskey="u" tabindex="1" value="User Name" onfocus="if (this.value == 'User Name') this.value = '';" /></td>

    <td class="title" colspan="2" nowrap="nowrap"><label for="cb_cookieuser_navbar"><input type="checkbox" name="cookieuser" value="1" tabindex="3" id="cb_cookieuser_navbar" accesskey="c" checked="checked" />Remember Me?</label></td>

  </tr>

  <tr>

    <td class="title">Password</td>

    <td><input type="password" class="button" name="vb_login_password" size="10" accesskey="p" tabindex="2" /></td>

    <td><input type="submit" class="button" value="Log in" tabindex="4" accesskey="s" /></td>

  </tr>

</table>

<input type="hidden" name="s" value="" />

<input type="hidden" name="do" value="login" />

<input type="hidden" name="forceredirect" value="0" />            

<input type="hidden" name="vb_login_md5password" />

</form>

<!-- / login form -->

Of course you'll have to change the database info, classes, form action and paths to reflect your set up, but at least this got me working.

umm is that safe putting that info in your index.php?

It's no different than putting it in a "config.php" file.

If you feel uncomfortable with it in there then put the database information in another file and then just put an include statement in the index.php file.

somefile.php:

PHP Code:


			
<? 

$vbhost   = "localhost"; 

$vbuser   = "your_db_username"; 

$vbpass   = "your_db_password"; 

$vbname   = "your_db_name"; 

?>

index.php:

PHP Code:


			
<? 

$userid   = $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['bbuserid']; 

$password = $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['bbpassword']; 

include('somefile.php');

$vb=mysql_connect("$vbhost","$vbuser","$vbpass"); 

mysql_select_db($vbname,$vb) or die ("Forum Database Connectivity Error"); 



$vbsql=mysql_query("select * from user where userid = '$userid'"); 

$vbinfo=@mysql_fetch_array($vbsql); 



$username=$vbinfo[username]; 

?>
