External Login on non 3.5.0 page

[Paul_Hollibone]

Hello all, I am in a diddle of a pickle at the moment.

I recently upgraded to vBulletin 3.5.0 from 3.0.8. All was fine till I realised the code I had on my site (an external login script) would not function. So I have come to you guys with a request.

I am after a External Login Code which can be placed on my .php page, which will let users login, then be re-directed back to the page they logged in from, with a little messege which says "Welcome back Paul_Hollibone, Click Here to Logout".

Now something like this is absolutoly mandatory, as a vital function for members logged in only cannot be used (due to some sort of cookies conflict with the code, and 3.5.0), meaning they cannot access the area I like to call "The Memories Sector", so has anyone attempted to make another code for this function, or is anyone able to?

Thanks in advance,
Paul.

Same question here. Is there a way? I used this:

require_once('/home/customer/domains/bla.com/public_html/forum/global.php');

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
if (!in_array($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'], array(6))) print_no_permission();

but that doesn't work anymore

That would never have worked. Do a chdir to your forumhome directory and then require ./global.php

3.5 Don't work with relative paths anymore (except for the initial load og global.php). Full paths are used.
