VB's user system on the front page

[N1Co]

If I want to integrate vB's user system and my front page, what files do I need to include? If I want the user's infos, and generally use vB's db class to fetch data from the vb db (I want the vb forum in a forum directory, and the front page in the public html dir)

public_html/
public_html/forum/

Your file would look like this

PHP Code:

<?php
// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################
define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);
define('GET_EDIT_TEMPLATES', true);
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'rules');

// ################### PRE-CACHE TEMPLATES AND DATA ######################
// get special phrase groups
$phrasegroups = array();

// get special data templates from the datastore
$specialtemplates  = array();

// pre-cache templates used by all actions
$globaltemplates = array();

// pre-cache templates used by specific actions
$actiontemplates = array();


// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################
require_once('./global.php');

// #######################################################################
// ######################## START MAIN SCRIPT ############################
// #######################################################################

// if user is guest show no permission error
//if (!$bbuserinfo['userid'])
//{
//        print_no_permission();
//}

::YOUR CODE HERE::

eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('YOUR_TEMPLATE_NAME') . '");');


?>

PHP Code:

require_once('./global.php'); 


What if I don't want the front page and the forum in the same directory? Use chdir()? (sounds like a good alternative to me)
And don't I need some values for $phrasegroups, $specialtemplates, $globaltemplates and $actiontemplates?


Thanks
