Using people to page-protect non-vanilla pages

lime

Hello I want to use Vanilla's login system to protect pages on my website that are outside of the Vanilla folder. Is there a quick/easy way to do this? I have been reading through the wiki documents but it's so extensive, i's like learning a new language, so it might take me a while to really be comfortable using the framework. If anyone has any quick hints I could really use the help. Thanks a lot Lime

see these two posts:

• Stripping Vanilla;
• Extending Forum Membership to other "member pages".

Check as well the code of the extension.php.

Thanks guys, I'll check them out and let you know if I have any problems. One other thing ... If I redirect my users to use Vanilla's log in page, how do I get it to redirect back to the protected page after they log in?

I think you just need to add to the link "?ReturnUrl=http://your.site.com/where/ever/you/want/".

Perfect, thanks!
