QuizShock vBulletin Integration Instructions

This module allows QuizShock to be directly integrated with your
vBulletin user database. Currently it integrates in the following
ways:

 * Users are authenticated directly from your vBulletin database,
   giving all of your users access to QuizShock without having to
   register again.

 * All links to registration on QuizShock go directly to your
   vBulletin registration script.

 * All links to user profiles go directly to the vBulletin profile
   script for the user.

 * QuizShock recognizes vBulletin's cookies so users can stay logged
   in.

 * You can specify which vBulletin user group id has access to the
   QuizShock control panel.

 * Optionally, QuizShock can update the "last activity" time for a
   vBulletin user if they are using QuizShock

Setup is very simple using the QuizShock user module system. Perform
the normal QuizShock installation as specified in README.txt, with
the following in mind:

 1. Make sure to install QuizShock to the same MySQL database as your vBulletin is installed on. Don't worry - the tables won't overlap
    because all of QuizShock's tables start with "ts_".

 2. When editing config.inc.php, find the option $C_OPTS['USER_MODULE']
    Make sure it is set to "vbulletin" instead of "standard".

 3. Edit the file "inc/ts_user_vbulletin.inc.php". This is the
    QuizShock user module for vBulletin. Edit the first several
    options as appropriate for your vBulletin installation.

 4. After installing QuizShock and performing these steps, go to the
    URL where you did the installation. Near the top, the "Registered
    Users" and "Newest User" fields should match those on your
    vBulletin installation.

 5. When logging into the control panel, use your vBulletin
    administrator username and password, or one for whatever group id
    you gave access to QuizShock (you can set which group gets
    access to the control panel by editing
    "inc/ts_user_vbulletin.inc.php". Don't worry about the admin
    password you set during QuizShock installation, it won't be used
    since you will be using your vBulletin user database.
