UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 7 Development How Do I? Integration question

did you ever manage this?
I'm working on intergrating a links management script into our version of ubbthreads (using v6.1.0).
This script doesn't require ppl to register, but it does require them to leave a username, password and email. I would like the script to use the info the member has put into his ubbthreads registration, as this input.

Anyone made anything that could point me in the right direction here? or do I just have to scavage the ubbt.inc.php after the functions I need?

Any help is appriciated

I use the UBBT login to verify users on sections of my website, but I do it through php, not the web server. You can do it with checking the user on each page. It's a little bit more work to make each page, but it works great.

actually (yes, I'm a n00b ) that was what I meant to do.... any chance you could explain to me how to do it? or show me with some code?

anything would be helpfull
Cheers

This is how you check for a group.

Make sure cookies are set sitewide, and near the top have this:

$user = $userob -> authenticate('U_Groups');

then put this at the begining of the restricted part of the page. Probably after the menu is sent, at the start of the main body of the page.

if (strpos($user['U_Groups'],'-5-') !== false) {

*******BODY*********

} else {
echo 'You are not authorized or not logged in.';
}

Have your body in the { } of the if statement. Change the 5 to the group number you are checking for. This is a real quick answer, but it works

what do I have to add before my "page" comes?
any file I can copy and paste this from?

I used this last year for our members when we bid new crews. We're going to be bidding again next week for our 2003 work schedules, but I'm getting an error.

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/natcazjx/public_html/bidding/bidconfig.php on line 4



Here are the first four lines of my script I am building;

<?
require ("../forum/main.inc.php");

$user = $userob -> authenticate('U_Groups');


Any idea why I'm getting this error?


Thanks

Right before that $user = $userob .... line you need to add:

$userob = new user;

Thanks
