I have made a way of intergrating the forum usernames into asp.net pages etc for use on other parts of your sites such as external toolbars/gallerys etc or even for external login boxes.
anyone interested?

from past discussions, i think that ASP and ASP.Net cannot read each others cookies/sessions which would mean you cant stay logged in. though i cant be 100% sure. ------------- S2H.co.uk - http://www.s2h.co.uk/wwf/" rel="nofollow - WebWiz Mods and Skins For support on my mods + skins, please use http://www.s2h.co.uk/forum/" rel="nofollow - my forum . |

in login_user_test.asp below lines: 'Logged in cookie test If strLoggedInUserCode = "" Then blnLoggedInOK = False add Response.Cookies("userasp")=strLoggedInUserName in log_off_user add after lines 'Clear the forum cookie on the users system so the user is no longer logged in clearCookie() Call saveSessionItem("UID", "") Call saveSessionItem("AID", "") add following line: Response.Cookies("userasp")="" in includes/setup_options_inc.asp make it as below 'Set the Cookie Path 'If you have issues with cookies for your users you may want to change the path set for your cookies Dim strCookiePath 'strCookiePath = Left(Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_URL"), InstrRev(Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_URL"), "/")) strCookiePath = "/" 'Uncomment this line if your forum has issues with cookies From an asp.net aspx you can call the cookie as below Request.Cookies("userasp").value working example at http://www.wsoc.co.uk - http://www.wsoc.co.uk the top menu bar is an aspx .net page which has read in the cookie created by the forum. hope that helps. I used the new cookie for the gallery on the site which i wrote in aspx. I have only tested this on v9 |

Is this well secured? what are the known issues with the existing browsers? |

Forgive my ignorance but isn't ASP session and ASP.NET session are different? How can an app be secured only depending on the cookie? I guess a good amount of coding will be required to integrate WWF into any ASP.net app. ------------- http://board.ebizbd.net/">  Tips, mods and skins for WWF v9.x

I forgive you :) I think that the solution here is just a basic solution. in it we can display name of the user in the .NET pages...sometimes it is just good enough. so, it won't be wise passing passwords to .NET I guess, but all the rest seems like no harm can be done. |

Can you be elaborate? How do you extract application vars and session vars from ASP into .net ------------- http://board.ebizbd.net/"> Tips, mods and skins for WWF v9.x

This is a totally insecure way of doing it by passing a cookie, as anyone can easily create a cookie on their own machine containing the username of the member they want to login as. If you are wanting to integrate Web Wiz Forums into ASP.NET, PHP, pages, or other applications then you are best off waiting for version 9.5 of Web Wiz Forums. Version 9.5 will have an API that you can run commands against Web Wiz Forums from any application using HTTP POST or GET, it will then return XML result which can be parsed, and you will be able to use for things like login, logout, add new member, and many other methods will be included. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |
