Hi,

i have been working with the API and my website.

I know WWF quite well and have been making a user system around the API/System.

its great you can get user data by name and Author_ID but to keep secure the same as the rest of the forum it would be good if you could get user data via User_code

as i login using the forum etc and use the API to get the username, email, and Author_ID within my own system, to do this i either had to store the Author_ID OR Username in my own cookie and query the API.

what would be good is if you could just look up the Cookie thats saved on the system (UID), and then query the Forum for the user with that ID, as i have had to edit the forum so it saves the AuthorID into a cookie so the rest of the system can  find the AuthorID and thus the record

this way i would be able to login as normal and my system just looks for the cookie the forum has set with the user_Code

Regards

Aaron

Not sure if this would work as for extra security the User ID does get changed.
