pmwwwgtalkvForum | | Re: vForums API (26th Feb 08 at 11:34pm UTC) | | It returns the rank color/stars, yes/no?
Here's to hoping it does, but again, not earth shattering if it doesn't.

At the moment, no. It only gives the raw post count and group IDs. However I will add the full formatted rank before it is released as I know it will be a lot easier than users having to work it out themselves. | |

Guest | | Re: vForums API (26th Feb 08 at 11:45pm UTC) | | um also i'm not sure if you already know this, but the login from another site that was made is messed up really bad and will need to be fixed.
http://www.freewebs.com/deluxeanimeforum/
The box thats above where it says: Stay Logged In For: is for the password and the one above Password is for the username, also as you can see the template is all messed up.
Edit: Also you might want to add a logout option, and an option of where they want there members to be redirected to when there members sign in, for example if there using a root site they can be sent back there or redirected to the forum  | |

pmwwwgtalkvForum | | Re: vForums API (5th Mar 08 at 8:42pm UTC) | | Things like redirection when logged in and logging out can be dealt with via individual developers. The idea of the API is to give them the information and tools they need for their site rather than to build their site for them.
I've added functionality for the forum totals, newest member and users online. Any other suggestions? | |

It's hard to give an exact time frame. I'm actually working on 4 different updates / features at the moment so it will depend on how long they take as to how much time I can spend working on the API.
@Wrighty: Do staff members & positions change often enough to need to be remote database driven?  | |

Marvellous...
Quick question, did you say it would be possible to 'find out' if the person that views the page is logged in as someone? :- | |

Because of cross-domain cookie policies it is not always possible to log users into both the website & forum at the same time (presuming the standard vforums sub-domain). However I will look at ways this could be made possible for users using the domain hosting functionality. | |

I love that idea. Theoretically, people could connect forums together with vForums, right? | |

What I mean is:
x views a page (NOT on vForums)
You can work out what x's username is on vForums? | |

If they were to login to the website (not vForums) then you could validate if that's a valid login or not. However unless they login on the website then there is no way of getting their cookie information (such as their username). What I'm going to look into is making this possible for users of the domain hosting option as then both sites will have access to the same root domain and as such can share the cookies (to some extent) | |
