Hi all,

I have successfully set up a members' area on my site which uses vB as the authorisation and member list. It all works rather well, except for when I want to pass additional variables to a page using this system.

I am using the code from http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=61112 to log in to the members' area. I'm running vB 3.5.

The problem comes when I have a page that requires additional variables to be passed, eg: http://example.com/members/index.php?my_id=1. vB seems to nullify all variables being sent that are not vB variables. I am aware of the reasons for doing so, but don't know of a sensible way of retaining the values of my variables. for use later in the php script.

Specifically, the code I am using at the top of each member's page is as follows:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Can you assist please?

Many thanks in advance.

Thank you very much for your response. Might I just ask whether the code you supplied should be placed before or after the auth. section? I'd imagine it goes before global.php is called... is that correct?

Thanks again.

Wrong

global.php will clear all var's. All coding (accept the 4 special arrays and some defines) should be done after global.php.

PS I just noticed that your var is called 'my_ip' and will probably not be numeric, so you better use TYPE_STR instead of TYPE_INT.

Hmmm, okay, let's try this with a real-world example. Currently, I have my members' area coded as follows (which worked prior to vB 3.5).

The authorisation code is contained in checkauth.php located in the members' directory:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

A centralised include file called global.php located in the members' directory is called at the top of every members' area page:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

So, would I simply be able to do the following?

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

In fact, I'll answer my own question.

It works like a dream. Thanks MarcoH64 for your assistance!
