[size=4][b]Step 1.[/b][/size] Upload the vBuser files to their respective folders from [b]application/[/b]

[size=4][b]Step 2.[/b][/size] Add the following to the config file: [b]hooks.php[/b]

[code]
/**

• vBuser Auth Check
• this hook calls load_vBUser after the controller constructor
• so every user has a session.

*/ $hook['post_controller_constructor'] = array( 'class' => '', 'function' => 'load_vBUser', 'filename' => 'vBUser.php', 'filepath' => 'hooks' );

[/code]

[size=5][b]Usage:[/b][/size]

Set up a form as seen in [b]example/views/login.php[/b] that points to your processing controller/function. I have created a simple processing controller called [b]example/controllers/process.php[/b] for login and logout procedures. You may use them or edit them as you wish.

User data will be stored in an array [b]$this->vbuser->info;[/b]

You can get a user's avatar url with: [code] $this->vbuser->getAvatar($this->vbuser->info['userid']); [/code]
