I did a little research and I came up with the following:

1. When a new user registers, I create an iframe with the page ForumReg.asp which contains the following code:

<body onLoad="doSubmit();return true;">
<form method="post" name="frmRegister" id="frmRegister" action="/forum/register.asp?FID=0">
<input type="hidden" name="name" value="<%= username %>" >
<input type="hidden" name="password" value="<%= password %>" >
<input type="hidden" name="password2" value="<%= password %>" >
<input type="hidden" name="email" value="<%= username & "@mydomain.com" %>" >
<input type="hidden" name="realName" value="<%= fullname %>" >
<input type="hidden" name="location" value="Greece" >
<input type="hidden" name="attachSig" value="true" >
<input type="hidden" name="emailShow" value="False">
<input type="hidden" name="replyNotify" value="False">
<input type="hidden" name="pmNotify" value="False">   
<input type="hidden" name="ieEditor" value="True" >
<input type="hidden" name="Login" value="True" >
<input type="hidden" name="serverOffSet" value="+" >
<input type="hidden" name="serverOffSetHours" value="0" >
<input type="hidden" name="dateFormat" value="dd/mm/yy" >
<input type="hidden" name="mode" value="new" >
<input type="hidden" name="FPN" value="0" >
<input type="hidden" name="sessionID" value="<%= Session.SessionID %>" >
</form>
</body>

So the user gets registered in the forum as well. However, it takessome time to load the page in the iframe and the user might click on alink before the iframe actually loads. Do you have a better solution?

2. When the user wants to enter the forum, I present him with a button(so that the forum opens in a new window). The form contains thefollowing code:

<form action="/forum/login_user.asp" method="post" id="form1" name="form1" target="_blank">
<input type="hidden" name="name" value="<%= Username %>" />
<input type="hidden" name="password" value="Password" %>" />
<input type="hidden" name="QUIK" value="true" />
<input type="hidden" name="NS" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="sessionID" value="<%= Session.SessionID %>" />
</form>

So, when the user clicks the button, he is logged in the forum.

Any suggestions or comments on the code above??

There's a few threads on integrating webwiz with an existing site that cover what your after. I'd try searching for "integrat existing" for starters.
 
IIRC, I think the recommendation is to use the wwf registration method and convert your site's registration to it rather than the other way around. WWF registration includes things like one-way encrypted passwords. The threads on it cover the pros and cons and "gotcha"'s in some detail.

Hi everyone!

I am using the forum as part of my current web site.

The users use a registration form that I have created in order toregister in my web site. This gives them access to a lot of resourcesas well as an e-mail address.

What I am trying to do is register them in the forum as well.

So, when they register using my registration form, I want to be able to register them in the forum as well.

I am using ASP.

Should I update the database (mdb) directly? If yes, how should I fill in the fields?

If not, should I use the existing register.asp file. If yes, how?

Thanks everyone
Jorgito
