    I am developing a php based site and i am considering using vbulletin for the the managment of users and groups.

    I want pull info from the vbulletin database and be able to check if someone is a user, if they are loggin in, what group they are in, display thier avatar, if they have new PM's etc.. this will allow me to display certain features only to members and people in certain groups.

    I dont want to write any information back into vbulletin's database, just check against it so I am hoping it might be as simple as doing a few file includes. Has anyone done this or know of any resources that explain the complexities of it?

    thanks

    Thx 4 the reply

    This was my first considration... just connect to VB's database and see whats in there... problem is this wont manage the users session and cookies between the vb forum and my pages.
