Integration with vBulletin - Simple login page/box/code for external pages

Ever wondered how you could add your own login box or fully customized login page outside your VB forums?
Ever had problems with other solutions that require a lot of files, PHP coding that in the end need a lot of tweaks or can give you a big headache?

Well, the problem is now solved.

By just using the same piece of code used in every Vbulletin pages I've managed to create login pages, boxes in any page I wanted outside my forums. Works 100% and by just following the instructions (2 simple steps) you'll be able to add and customize your login page wherever you want.

There is a screenshot of an example page built with this code that it's fully customized and logins to the forums on another domain. Just an example of what you can do.

The ZIP file contain the code instructions and 2 HTML pages with the code inside.
There are two versions of the code: With or Without "Remember me?" checkbox.

Hope it helps.
If you've found this useful, had problems with other methods of external login, etc, consider donating a small amount, I'd appreciate

To-do list (what to expect in future releases):
Currently the login box when you log will redirect you to your main boards page, if you go back to where the login page, you'll see the login box again. I plan soon to upgrade the code and show a logged in stat.

Can you put a register button?
You can do it yourself by just adding the following line on the code wherever you want the register line to be:

<a href="pathtoyourforums/register.php">Not a member? Register now</a>

This mod is no longer supported. I'll be only working further on the 3.7 version of it that can be found here. Thanks.

What does it show after you've logged in?

It doesn't show any message, but it redirects automatically to your boards.
The purpose it's a login box that will take you to the boards.
Later I might work on an update that will show the logged in stats.

This is a very nice idea. In a future release can you also put a "not a member? register here" link for those who are not registered in the vb yet?

Yes, but you can easily do it by adding a link to your forums redirect page, just try something like:

<a href="pathtoyourforums/register.php">Not a member? Register now</a>
