I would like to know how to login to a Vbulletin Forum and after it is confirmed login it gets the persons UserGroup ID and then in a label it will say the group name.
I can make it login from cookies. Example below, but I cannot figure out what needs done so it gets the usergroup id and then from the id it gets the name. Do I need to make a php file for it to get the information from or what exactly needs done?
static string login(string url, string username, string password)
{
HttpWebRequest req = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
string cookie = "";
string values = "vb_login_username=" + username + "&vb_login_password=" + password
+ "securitytoken=guest&"
+ "cookieuser=checked&"
+ "do=login";
req.Method = "POST";
req.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
req.ContentLength = values.Length;
CookieContainer a = new CookieContainer();
req.CookieContainer = a;
System.Net.ServicePointManager.Expect100Continue = false; // prevents 417 error
using (StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(req.GetRequestStream(), System.Text.Encoding.ASCII)) { writer.Write(values); }
HttpWebResponse c = (HttpWebResponse)req.GetResponse();
foreach (Cookie cook in c.Cookies) { cookie = cookie + cook.ToString() + ";"; }
return cookie;
}
