 Topic: Combining Web Wiz w/ another application
Posted: 11 August 2003 at 2:14pm |
Hi Everyone,
I'm trying to combine Web Wiz with another application on my site. I have already combined the databases, but now need help combining the application side of things.
How do I keep a user logged on as they go from one app to the other? If they log off on one side, I want to keep them logged off on both. If they log on on one side, I want them to be logged onto both.
Any thoughts?
Joey

It all depends on the other application you are trying to combine it with (you haven't said) and how the other application works.
It may need specific knowledge of both systems inorder to get them to function together.

Well... the other app is also in ASP. It's just an auction app, but it works pretty much the same way as this Web Wiz Forum does. However, it has a global.asa file, while I can't find one within the Web Wiz Forum. Not sure if that's important, but that's how I thought the simplest integration would work.
Thanks!

If the other system uses a cookie based log in system, you'll just need to integrate the cookies.

Thanks ljamal. I'm making some progress here, but some funny things are happening with the cookies now... First of all, the cookie keeps changing names from joe@mysite[1].txt to joe@mysite[2].txt. Second, it looks like the cookie file is trying to track more than one session, no? Here's the full contents:
FLVST
LTVST=37847%2E6041782407

Any thoughts on how to better integrate the 2 systems sessions? The 2 systems don't seem to use the same session tracking method. The auction side of things kept all the session data in a global.asa file while it seems that the forum side keeps more info in the cookie. I"ve been trying to add similar cookie functionality to the auction side, but to no avail.

It would help to know what auction application you are using.
WWF uses up to 8 different cookies (I believe) plus a session variable. The one you real need to worry about for integration is the Forum cookie which includes the UID which is used by WWF for login purposes.

I just bought some custom ASP code from a devloper that had built a system for someone else. You can go to www.filefun.com (still under development so don't laugh) and see the auction app, then click on "Discuss" and it'll take you to the WWF.
I am placing the UID into the cookie when a auction person logs in... but, when i switch to the forum, the person isn't recognized.
It wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that WWF is in a sub directory of the auction app, would it?

I tried to access the site (filefun.com) but there was nothing there.
