Hey everyone,

Sorry if this has been covered but I did search and browse the FAQ, forums and documentation.

Basically I have two areas of my site.  One that is independent of the forums and one that is of course, the forums.

I would like to combine the registration/login of both portions to work off of the same user table.

So if someone logs into or registers from one area of the website I want that registration and login to carry over to the other area and vice versa.

What are the "salt" and "user_code" fields and how do I generate them?

Is there a way to not have the passwords encoded?

And finally, what session variables need to be set to be logged in to a web wiz forum?

Thanks!

Well, you have a couple options. 
 
First you have to decide which login you should use.  I have several sites where I use the WWF login as the login for the entire website.  You can also go the other way around and use something else to manage the login and have WWF use that.  Borg built an API for that.
 
Search for site integration, a number of people, including myself, have written on the topic.
 
On non-forum pages, you basically have to include common.asp and then you have access to most of the forum variables, including who is logged in and what group then belong to.  You then use if then statements to determine who can see things on the pages.  For example, if the user is a guest, you can prevent them from seeing the content and instead ask them to login.
 
But do a search, this is easy to do.  You don't have to worry about generating passwords or salt or anything.  Just have WWF handle the logins and registrations.
