Single Signin / Login Integration Tip

[gdlx]

This is really useful information...I wish I would have come across it a few weeks ago!

Could you put full code it will be very usefull .. where user can register outside the forums etc..

[skoTner]

Yes, I would also like it if you could write a few newbie tips. I understand some of what you write, but not all... and how to do this in PHP only?

I have a site with a selfmade login as of today. I also have the vBulletin forum under /forum of the site. How can I make my own login on the root-site match the forum as you have explained here, all in php?

I've tried just reading the cookies the forum sets, but I reckon that doesn't quite do it?

i second that... i understand most of what is here, but not all, and am also interested in integrating the registration process as well as the login. I guess if you remove the ability to modify their account details or password, then it would just read from your existing customer db table, correct?

definitely interesterd in find out more about this.

thanks

Regarding doing this in PHP... I started to write something along the same lines, then got distracted. Here's what I have, but I haven't really tried it out yet. Might be a helpful starting point, though:

PHP Code:

$timenow = time();
if(!isset($_SESSION["next_forum_login_request"])) $_SESSION["next_forum_login_request"] = 0;
        
        if($timenow > $_SESSION["next_forum_login_request"]) {
            
            $ch = curl_init("http://".$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"]."/forum/login.php");
            curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POST, true);
            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "do=login&vb_login_username=".$username."&vb_login_password=&s=&vb_login_md5password=".$pre_md5d_password."&vb_login_md5password_utf=".$pre_md5d_password);
            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_NOBODY, true);
            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
            curl_exec($ch);
            $result = explode("\n",curl_multi_getcontent($ch));
                                            
            foreach($result as $headerline) {
            
                if(strpos($headerline,"Set-Cookie: ") === 0) {
                    header($headerline);
                }
                    
            }
            
            $_SESSION["next_forum_login_request"] = $timenow + 300;
        
} 


If you spot any glaring errors that will break everything, let me know
(and remember... I haven't tested this code, so I don't promise it works)

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a ton!

This has been out since last year already https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...n+non+vb+pages

I think that would have solved your solution/s already

[tabacco]

My final solution was just to set the bbuserid and bbpassword cookies as session cookies when a user logs onto my site (and disable all the login/logout stuff in the vB templates). It ends up being a little simpler than the POST trick, and doesn't require code changes to vB (which I hate doing, because it makes upgrading a pain)

[wcm]

Has anyone tried the Perl solution with 3.6? It looks like a very neat way to do this.

I am a little bit curious on how the final perl script looks.

Any response is appreciated.
