    I want to include a vBulletin "login" on a WordPress page. [Example Page]

    If I add the vBulletin code to the WordPress code I receive the following message: "Unable to add cookies, header already sent."

    Here is the code in question:
     
<?php get_header(); ?>

<?php 
  chdir("/home/sales/public_html/forums/"); 
require('/home/sales/public_html/forums/global.php');
chdir("./");
?>
    PHP:
    Does anyone have any ideas on how to get this to work? :confused:

    You can't get it by using php. Use a form.

    I've been using this form on a non-WP page and it works fine. When I use this form on a WP page it logs the user in but instead of the "welcome user" message the login boxes remain. Any ideas?

    <?
if ($bbuserinfo['userid']!=0) { 
$username=$bbuserinfo['username']; 
print("<span class='welcome'><br><br><center>Welcome back, $username!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br><a href=\"http://www.salespractice.com/forums/\">Visit the Forums</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</center>");
} else {
?> 
<form action='/forums/login.php' method='post' onsubmit='md5hash(vb_login_password,vb_login_md5password)'> 
		<script type='text/javascript' src='/forums/clientscript/vbulletin_md5.js'></script> 
		 <table cellpadding="1" cellspacing="3" border="0">
		 <tr>
		 <td class="login">User Name</td> 
		 <td><input type='text' class='button' name='vb_login_username' id='navbar_username' size='10' accesskey='u' tabindex='1' value='' /></td>
		 <td class="smallfont" colspan="2" nowrap="nowrap"><input type='checkbox' name='cookieuser' value='1' tabindex='3' id='cb_cookieuser_navbar' accesskey='c' checked='checked' /><span class='login'>Remember Me</span></td></tr>
<tr><td class="login">Password</td>
<td><input type='password' class='button' name='vb_login_password' size='13' accesskey='p' tabindex='2' /></td>
<td><input name="submit" type='submit' class='button' accesskey='s' tabindex='4' title='Log In' value='Log In' />
<span class="login">&nbsp;<a href="http://www.salespractice.com/forums/register.php?">Register</a></span></td></tr></table>
		<input type='hidden' name='do' value='login' /> 
		<input type='hidden' name='forceredirect' value='0' />			 
		<input type='hidden' name='vb_login_md5password' /> 
		</form>
		<? 
}

    Thank you for the help. Changing the "0" to a "1" gave me the redirect screen however the end result is the same as with "O"... you are logged in but you don't get the "welcome member" message.

    What's frustrating is that the form works fine on a non-WP page. :(

    Jeff, I know this doesn't help, but I came across a tutorial one time while looking for information on the vbulletin forums. The tutorial was written by one of the mods there, so maybe you can track it down that way. If my memory serves me correctly, it was about building a static page that uses the VB backend. I will try and find it in a minute.

    I've been able to accomplish my goal on a non-wordpress page but there appears to be a conflict with the wp_header and the VB code. :(

    Get rid of the include global.php for vbulletin. You don't need it to show the html form. That should fix ya up.

    By removing the call to global.php users are allowed to login but instead of the "welcome user" message the login boxes remain which makes it appear that nothing happened after loggin in. :( Any ideas?

    Show me your page, in PM if you prefer. Sounds like you have the welcome box too.

    try making these paths complete.

    <form action='/forums/login.php' method='post' onsubmit='md5hash(vb_login_password,vb_login_md5password)'>
    <script type='text/javascript' src='/forums/clientscript/vbulletin_md5.js'></script>

    I've done this before, but I can' find the damn file and I'm way tired.

    When I did this last, it was stragight html, no trip through global. Trying to fix this like this is next to imopssible. We're spoon feeding each other.

    This is a 10 minute job IMO and we're banging our head on the wall.

    I appreciate any help I can get so if there is anything I can do just let me know.

    Just to clarify, the script works for logging in. The challenge is that once logged in the "username" is not displayed on the WP page as it does on the non-WP page.

    After you login to the homepage you are greated with a welcome message. After you login to the WordPress page, instead of the welcome message you get the login boxes again.

    Again, if there is anything I can do just say the word. :)

    Oh! See, I was chasing a redirect issue. No wonder I got nowhere!

    I think the issue will be that vBulletin uses template conditionals in their system to pull that off. You can get to the same variables going through global.php, so you'd need to duplicate that code in php around the welcome box and login box code.
