Subject: API System problems
Date Posted: 13 November 2006 at 2:57pm
I'm testing the API system.
I've not imported the user db in the wwforum.
 
1) When an user login in my system and then go to the wwforum homepage they are been registered, so login sharing works.
But users was registered without mail address.
How can they receive notify in mail?
 
2) When an user change password from my modify page, and then log in in my site with the new password, he can't login in the wwforum. Password is not accepted, but old password not works too 0_0.
Is the login case sensitive in the wwforum?
How does it not works?
I've checked in the db of wwforum but passwords are cripted so i don't know what passwords are been written in de wwforum db.
 
P.

1. Use the Settings button at the top of teh forum to edit the users profile and type in a password. The next version will also include email in the API.

2. When a users updates the password in your system update the session password variable, once this is done when the vitors goes to the forum with the new password the system will update with the new password.

1) I can't login like administrator, the password of my user administrator is not accepted...since when i've change password with my modify page. When the new version will be avaible?

2) Yes ok. But only for testing, i've changed password with my system, then i've logout and then i've login with the new password in my system, but the forum don't accept the new password and the old password too :-((

Hey everyone
 
I had also some problems with the API system. Seems that this module is not finally bug-free ;-)
 
I can't explain why, but in the file "admin.asp" there are 3 lines:
 
Quote
'Read in the users details from the form if user is logging in
strUsername = Trim(Mid(Request.Form("name"), 1, 15))
strPassword = LCase(Trim(Mid(Request.Form("password"), 1, 15)))
 
Is this really true that the password is converted to lower case? I ask because this was the problem for all my login-problems with the API. After I changed this, everything works fine... some explanations borg? :)
 
---
 
For future versions I wish, that I can't only give user, pass and email to the api. Can't you make an array or (i think better) a dictionary for all the values in the db?
 
For example in the current version i have to set the user/pass in the member-api like this:
 
Quote
session("username") = "myusername"
session("password") = "mypassword"
 
Is there a way to do this like:
 
Quote
dictMemberAPI("Username") = "myusername"
dictMemberAPI("Password") = "mypassword"
dictMemberAPI("Email") = "myemail"
dictMemberAPI("Lastname") = "mylastname"
...
