Web Page Integration

Hello folks..

I am not sure where to go to find this information as I am not personally well versed with IPB.

I am looking for a php script that will allow access to stand alone web pages based on 2 criteria

1) That a person is currently logged onto the IPB forum; and
2) Is a member of a valid forum group permitted to see the stand alone page.

I am trying to support 2 forums at a public service support web site. Owned by the same people, they have two different (older) installations of IPB. The first is Version 2.2.2 and the second is version 2.3.6

I have done something like this before with other forum-ware such as phpBB. They call this script "page integration". This just involved adding the appropriate php "include" lines to the stand alone page, and checking that the a user is logged in -and- is a member of a group permitted to see the stand alone page.

Does anyone know if and where a guy could get a hold of this information for those 2 versions? (hopefully the same requirements)



To give an idea of what I am attempting to accomplish, here is a code snippet from an example for phpBB3 that does exactly what I am wanting to do with these two versions of IPB:

// phpBB Integration -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
define('IN_PHPBB', true);
$phpbb_root_path = (defined('PHPBB_ROOT_PATH')) ? PHPBB_ROOT_PATH : '../../forum/';
$phpEx = substr(strrchr(__FILE__, '.'), 1);
include($phpbb_root_path . 'common.' . $phpEx);

// Start session management
$user->session_begin();
$auth->acl($user->data);
$user->setup();

if ($user->data['user_id'] == ANONYMOUS)
{
   //echo 'Please login!';
   header('Location: /forum/index.php'); exit;
}
else
{
   // Allowed Groups
   if ($user->data['group_id'] == "32") {$flag = "1";} // Parents group
   if ($user->data['group_id'] == "37") {$flag = "1";} // Teachers group
   if ($user->data['group_id'] == "15") {$flag = "1";} // Webmaster
   // Allowed People
   $fp=fopen("tmpls/set_bar.bbf","r");
  	while (!feof($fp)) {
		$tline = explode("|", fgets($fp));  
    	if ($user->data['username'] == $tline[0]) {$flag = "1";}
  	}  
   fclose($fp);
   // Evaluate and handle
   if ($flag != "1") {header('Location: /forum/index.php'); exit;}
}
// End phpBB Integration ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
