Standard vbulletin login page

I am quite sure vbulletin has a page where members can login using that, where on earth is it if it exists? Its similar to when youre a guest and you want to create a new thread but it gives you the login form, I am sure there is one like this just for logging in and not making a post etc

Anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

 

I don't think there is one, I looked a few months ago and there was nothing.

I just saw this though; Custom Login Page - vBulletin.org Forum

 

There isn't one thats just for logging in (not sure why). You'll have to redirect users to either the navbar, or send them to an error page to do it.

Or use a modificaton like above perhaps?

 

Why would you just want a login page? For a custom script? Or a non vbulletin page?

 

Loads of reasons. Its easier for users, you can give useful links or FAQ directly related to login, etc etc.

Why vBulletin doesn't have it is beyond me

 

A link to the control panel, I guess. I find it weird that vB doesn't come with one by default.

 

The previous developers felt that having it on every single page in the Navbar precluded the need for a standalone login page.

 

here ya go guys
i had to do something similar on one of my websites basicly create a login script that authenticates the users with the vbulletin registration details

well here ya go

PHP:

<?php
// YOUR USERNAME TEXT FIELD MUST BE CALLED username
// YOUR PASSWORD FIELD MUST BE CALLED password

// lets get the unique salt from that user so we can encrypt the password to vbulletin methods

$getuser = mysql_query("SELECT user_salt FROM user WHERE username = '".$_REQUEST[username]."'", $maindb);
$getuser_rst = mysql_fetch_array($getuser);

// Encrypt Password to the Vbulletin Encryption method// 
$password_hash = md5(md5($_REQUEST['password']) . $getuser_rst['salt']);

$confirmpass = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM user WHERE username = '".$_REQUEST[username]."' AND password = '$password_hash'", $maindb);
$confirmed = mysql_num_rows($confirmpass);

// Final Authentication Check //
if($confirmed == "1") {
// Now i need to do some  Success login stuff lets set some sessions or atleast redirect them somewhere in the private section
echo "Successful Login";



// End of Sucsessful Login Script  job done!//
}

else 
// Oh darn the login details they gave me dint match anything in my database
{
// This is where you put stuff like redirects and session_destroy()l stuff (just to make sure =) ) for a FAILED login
echo "You login has failed, please retry";

session_destroy();
}

?>
