I would like to verify that a member has an account.  Is this possible?  For example, we have another client application which we would like to streamline with the forum.  Therefore, when they register we ask them if they are also registered with the forums.  If so they enter their username and password so that we can attach their forum account to our other system. 

Is this possible?  Is there a way to have the member_api return a true/false if the login credentials are correct?

Thank you.

If you want to integrate your website with the forum, you should either use your Website memberlist (using the API) or run your website off the forums memberlist.

It would expect it to be very difficult if you are running them both independent.


If you want to block your website pages off to forum members only you can do so by following my Member-Only Pages tutorial.

I have a similar, but much less complex thought.  Currenlty, I have Newspad integrated with my forum, but when you register, the newspad subscription is not selected by default.  Can this be changed to "Yes" by default?

I wouldn't think that this would violate any anti-spam laws, would it?  They're going through and selecting these things and then hitting "OK."  I'm sure that most users just accept the defaults without realizing that they are not subscribing to the newsletter.

It can be changed to yes by default but read this topic as it explains the opt in, opt out part of subscriptions, and this topic too
Hope that helps a bit

Hi,

Include the hash1way file
<!--#include file="functions/functions_hash1way.asp" -->

select salt and password where username matches the username given.
compare password from db with HashEncode(typedPassword & rs("Salt"))

very simple.
