Need to pass an extra value in login form to plugin.

[XXP]

Re: switching to vB across our site but using it to run user registration & authentication on legacy apps.

I need to pass a value to our login plugin from the login form. The value is added as a hidden field on the form, but I haven't figured out where it comes up in functions_login.php so that I can pass it to a plugin hooked at login_verify_success.

I was trying to get it at $vbulletin->GPC['my_new_value'] but no luck.

Any and all clues will be most appreciated. Thanks.

Before you can use it in $vbulletin->GPC, the variable must first be loaded:

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->input->clean_array_gpc('p', array('my_new_value'));

Ah! Thanks. I'll give this a try. I was thinking that the GPC load in the core vB code would grab all of the form variables. (Must be a security stance -- in which case, Good Idea.)

Once again: thanks very much for your kind and helpful reply.
