JranZu Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 You would probably be better off looking for help over at the vbulletin forums ( http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/ ) they could probably help out a lot more. My first guess would be to take a look at the session vars that vbulletin is setting, that is what I have seen used in the past... But no promisses, I don't know anything about vbulletin.

sub7av Posted September 4, 2008 Author Share Posted September 4, 2008 If I wanted help from them I would have posted there, but they dont support hacking of there forum if you can call it that however they said I can ask hacking question on the or site which I dont want to do. If anyone has info let me know I managed to pull it from the sql last time so I am thinking maybe another sql for the member login? how secure is it to insert the sql catch into the webpage because i had to put in user and pass to get them in.

JranZu Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Are you trying to use vbulletins login system for your site, or your login page for vbulletin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sub7av Posted September 4, 2008 Author Share Posted September 4, 2008 I would like to get the user to login on homepage, show his forum avatar in a box above his name and for it to say welcome back. I dont mind which mate, if i can pull the vbull aross i wont have to code a login system or share sql so that would be better i think.

That would be your best bet. I don't have vBulletin because IMO it sucks, plus I'm not paying money for stuff where I can get something else (like SMF or phpBB3) for free.
