Help in creating shared login system...

[cd1986]

Ok, i have my vb 3.5 forum on subdomain A of my domain, and a related site on subdomain B. I'm trying (unsuccessfully thus far) to use the vbulletin usergroup permission system to enable members of the forum to view the site, but for non-members to be re-directed to my portal login page (using vbadvanced for that).

So far, i've been trying variants of this code to add to my non-vb pages. I have the global.php file in with the test file i've been trying the code on:

<?php
include('./global.php');
if (!in_array($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'], array(1,3,4,8))){
?>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" content="0; URL=http://forum.oioplus.com/cmps.php">
<?
}else { 
?>
 
<--- Page Code --->
 
<? } ?>

What i'm trying to achieve is to have usergroups A, B, C be allowed to view the page content, whilst D, E, F are re-directed to the portal login page. At the moment all that seems to happen is that all usergroups, whether logged in or not, are re-directed to that page...and so no one can view the content of the protected page!

I did change the cookie setting to cover the whole domain, rather than just the subdomain that the forum is in. Can anyone advise me on how to make this work?

You need to surround "include('./global.php');" with chdir() to the correct directories:

chdir('/path/to/forum/');
require('/path/to/forum/global.php');
chdir('/path/to/subdomain/');
