Using UserSpice Without the UI

[laplaplap]

Hi!

I've had the same problem but I'm still a bit confused.
What exactly is it we need a the top of each page?

I have tried in the head:

<?php require_once('/mybigfancyproject/users/init.php'); ?>
<?php if (!securePage($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])){die();} ?>

But it gave a blank page and didn't load any source could after and including this in the page.

I noticed on the walkthrough for monitoring additional files it is copying some function for 4.0 and for 4.2 just adding the directory to the array in z_us_root.php
I have 4.2 and tried this but didn't seem to work

Any ideas?
Thanks!
