I am running vBulletin 3.5.4 and woudl like to use vbulletin cookies so my users do not have to log in seperately to the links section.

updating the cookie settings to use bbuserid for the username works great, but if I change the password cookie to bbpassword it no longer works.

What value does vBulletin put in the password cookie? Is it the same thing that's in the users table's password field, or something else?

I compared the cookie value in bbpassword to the cookie value in wsnpass and it is different.

If I can identify how the bbpassword is calculated (and I'm pretty sure I can) where would I update this in wsn links?

It'll need a special cookie type handled in classes/member.php to make it upgradeable. Replace
   else if ($cookietype == 'smf')
{
$both = unserialize(stripslashes($_COOKIE[$idcookiename]));
$id = $both[0];
$userpassword = $both[1];
}
with

else if ($cookietype == 'smf')
{
$both = unserialize(stripslashes($_COOKIE[$idcookiename]));
$id = $both[0];
$userpassword = $both[1];
}
else if ($cookietype == 'vb')
{
$userpassword = however you transform the password cookie value into the database value
}


I presume someone at vBulletin support knows.
