Vbulletin Login in Sidebar

I was able to get rid of the errors by moving the top code

$root = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
$curdir = getcwd ();
chdir("$root/forums/");
require("$root/forums/global.php");
chdir ($curdir);

Into WP_CONFIG but now they calling of vbulletin->userinfo[‘userid’]
and $vbulletin->userinfo[‘username’] doesn’t do anything.

where should I go from here?

After many hours of trying to figure this out I got the desired results. Here is what I did to get a Vbulletin login box on my wordpress page that includes a welcome message.

In the wp-config.php file I add this code to the bottom

$root = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
$curdir = getcwd ();
chdir("$root/forums/");
require("$root/forums/global.php");
chdir ($curdir);

Then in my sidebar file I added this code

<?php
global $vbulletin;
if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid']!=0) {

$username= $vbulletin->userinfo['username'];
echo ("<p>Welcome back, $username!</p>");
}

 else { echo "LOGIN STUFF GOES HERE!";
}
?>

I hope this helps other people out, and hopefully I don’t run into anymore major issues.

Damn, thanks fatalx, you rock!

Ok, but for the “login stuff goes here” area, what do I put so the user can login? I need code for the login. I tried making my own, but couldn’t quiet get it. Any help would be great!

Thanks!

Hey,

@ everyone who needs the LOGIN STUFF GOES HERE! code here is what it should look like. I haven’t touched this code for awhile so i’m not 100% sure if this is correct but it should be something like this.

<form action="path-to-your-forum/forums/login.php?do=login" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="do" value="login" />
<input type="hidden" name="url" value="path-back-to-your-original-page" />
<input type="hidden" name="vb_login_md5password" />
<input type="hidden" name="vb_login_md5password_utf" />
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="cookieuser" value="1" id="cb_cookieuser" tabindex="1" />
<label>Username:<input name="vb_login_username" type="text" id="login" tabindex="1" class="bginput" accesskey="u"/></label>
<label>Password<input name="vb_login_password" type="password" id="password" tabindex="1" class="bginput" /></label>
<input name="submit" type="submit" id="submit" tabindex="1" value="Login" accesskey="s" class="button" />
</form>

I’ve done all of this and it worked. However, after adding the code to wp-config.php, certain parts of the WordPress panel stop working. I can’t upload images via Add Post and more annoyingly, I can’t edit any of the plugin settings without getting a “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page” error. These errors go away when I remove the code from wp-config.

I’ve tried every fix I can possibly think of. Please tell me someone has some idea how I can fix this?

Thanks.

Please help someone ;_;

Seriously, someone! I’ll be forever in your debt!

have you tried disabling some of your plugins?

I’ve tried disabling all of them. The code just interferes with the wordpress config file somehow. I’ve also found that you can’t use 90% of WordPress’s functions with it giving me the insufficient permissions error.

Try moving the code to a different part of your wp-config file.. Eg.. move it further up or down the file.

I am by no means a genius when it comes to php, but in the past I’ve done this to get things to work.
