All right, it's what I thought. The correct code should've been:
my $logouthash = time . '-' . sha1_hex(time . sha1_hex($vb_id . sha1_hex($usersalt) . sha1_hex('My VB license number')));
So now I think I'm REALLY up to my final problem, although now I can see that I can just edit my logouthash so that I don't even need the $vb_id. To satisfy my curiosity, I'll quote the exact problem:
$user->{vbID} = '10';
Then created another test account, logged into Links, and the vbID field is STILL "0"?!?
What I originally did was download the Auth_vBulletin.pm file from the Plugins directory, open it with Wordpad, edit it, and re-upload it, making sure to overwrite the original file. After confirming that the number was still "0", I did it again, this time deleting the original file in the Plugins directory to make sure I uploaded the edited version since maybe before the overwriting didn't work or whatever. It's still "0", so for whatever reason Links is still somehow using the original file. Now how is this possible? Did I miss a step?
So yeah, like how do I edit a plugin and make Links USE the edited plugin instead of the original one? After all I've been through, this one's GOTTA be a simple one to solve? :D
