Where does vB check login

[marklar]

I want to check that a user is logged in to somewhere else (Hivemail) but I can't find the script that vB uses to check whether someone is logged in (the sessions / cookies bit).

use

PHP Code:

if ($bbuserinfo[userid] != 0)
{

} 


or the other way around:

PHP Code:

if ($bbuserinfo[userid] == 0)
{
printnopermission();
} 


The nopermission function has a different name, but I can't recall it at the moment.

i think he was more searching for something like "Who's Online, AND Where..." ...

No, I mean that whenever you go to a page in vB, it checks to see if you are logged in. I want to know where it does that.

Then within that function I am going to put the login check for Hivemail, so if they are logged in to vB and not Hivemail, I'll log them in using the vB user/pass.

vB doesn't actually have a function to check if a person's logged in. It has the session, in which it stores some data, and then one can check if the user is logged in by checking if $bbuserinfo[userid] is equal to 0 (meaning he's not logged in) or if his userid is set, meaning he is logged in.

vb also checks cookies if user is browsing via cookies

Colin: So there is script on every page rather than 1 function? Where is $bbuserinfo[userid] defined?

AN: I know, but where is the code? (

[Colin F]

probably in either the global.php or the includes/session.php...

[marklar]

I don't think you know exactly what I mean. global.php is included in most if not all pages so it's definitely down that path. Within global.php other files are included, session.php being one of them & the most likely.

What I'm asking is, I want to put in a line of code which gets run every time vB checks to see if someones logged in, where do I put it?

I mentioned that it is a login script I am putting in because it would need to be put at the last stage of the vB login check after it has gone through all the variable/session/cookie possibilities.

Look for it

Sorry, but I'm at work, so I don't have the vB files at hand at the moment. If you haven't found it by this evening I can have a look if I find it...
