Automatic Login

[eznet]

I am wondering how you would have an automatic login to the v-bulletin boards installed on our site if someone registers on our registration form as a member of other areas of our site.

We have the boards using the same username, but how do you get it to automatically login to the boards so that a user does not have to login again after they have logged in to our site?

Thank you

eznet,

You are currently showing up as unlicensed. To be able to download hacks and/or receive support here at vBulletin.org, we ask you to please click here (vB-germany users click here) and enter your email address, to show us that you are licensed.

You will need to use your customer number and password (which will be in the email you got when you paid for your license) to access that page. Please note that your email is case sensitive.

Thank you.

I just did what you asked.

Can I get a reply now to my question.

Thank you

Thanks. I'm not a hacker but I'm sure someone will be able to help you.

You would just need to run another query when they register on your "main" site to update the users table in vB. I guess you'd want to take out the email "opt-in" confirmation email as well.

Shouldn't be too hard, basically copy-paste the add user query from vB, and set it to connect and update in your "main" signup script (which presumably has all the usual error checking, security mesures, etc).
