[RELEASE] Geeklog user authentication integration

This is a brute force method of making the geeklog portal software use the vBulletin authentication system allowing users to register and log in just once on either the forum or main page.

In action at http://britishexpats.com

Here's a zip that includes all the modified geeklog code with instructions detailing the vB code that needs changing. http://britishexpats.com/download/Geeklog11-vB_01.zip

There are also instructions to change the raw geeklog code if you prefer to download it yourself.

Even if you don't have or don't want geeklog, the vB changes could be easily modified to work with most free portal scripts I've seen.

Thanks, I'm anxious to try it...

I just upgraded my site to GEEKLOG! =) now i can integrate. thanks!

What about security levels for the users? for submissions etc?

tried both editing the files manually, and tried using your install no luck..
if you can shoot me an email.. thanks..

Hey fastforward I tried Geeklog once on my hosting account but without success. Is it true that you must OWN the server 'cause you have to be allowed to do some PHP.INI, etc. edits???

Cr4z33: You don't shouldn't need to. I had no problems with my vservers.com account.

krylon: Sorry you're having trouble. What sort of problems are you seeing. Most of the problems I had were due to the paths of the include files. Let me know the error messages you are seeing and I'm they can be easity fixed. I'm assuming you managed to get the basic Geeklog working first right? Are the problems definately with the edits?

Regards

I installed geeklog then installed vbulletin and did the changes but had no luck. So I decided to kill everything and just get geeklog running. I have geeklog running now but for some reason I can't login to it anymore not quite sure what I did. But once I have geeklog fully functional I will back it up and then do the hacks to vbulletin. Anybody use PHPNUKE instead of Geeklog?

K, I'll try then again.

i had problems, then i redid everything, and once it worked fine, all i got was a blank screen on both the vbb, and the geeklog..

answer no yuo don't need to edit php.ini.
just set paths correctly.. You just need to have access to chmod files.
