 Topic: Login Component
Posted: 14 April 2004 at 1:48pm |
I want to integrate the forum component into my entire site, however I
am unable to pull out the part that remembers the user name and
re-apply it to the rest of the site. Users have to relogin even though
they are still logged into the forum!

Logging in is done in the file common.asp so that is a good starting point for you.
Next please post in the correct forum or your post WILL be deleted.

All you people need to do is get the User_code from the Cookie and query it against the DB field "User_code" in tblAuthor. If it matches, the user is logged in. If it doesn't, the user is not logged in.
It would take only a few lines to determine that. There is no need for a Application!

maddog was the above refering to my application?
im make the appliation so any website on earth can use it .. not just wwf. but if you are a wwf user you can then intergrate my application with the forum ,.. and from my application you will be able to register, edit profile, login, edit login details .. it will be a mini portal... and saves registering twice, loging in , etc....

Would you be using your own user table and using it to drive the wwf user table and whatever user table is used on the rest of the site?
Could work for new sites, For existing sites with 2 logins, there's a couple of issues you'll need to address.
- No guarentee that an existing user has the same login and/or password for the wwf and other parts of the site.
- You probably can't decrypt either password. You can reset the wwf password, but may/may not be able to reset the other one. You'll have to write some code to do a mass reset to unigue passwords and email each user with their new one.

the wwf mode uses the forum table .. as it uses same encryption, so you can rest passwords etc...
it uses links .... and in wwf mode you dont need to add fields etc.. as they will be there just need to link the table to the login manager database.
as you are using links the tables are the one and same table .. so password will be the same as it is using the same field.
