Hi.
i have a web site where i need to make the web's registered users work with the forum users.
I want the "register" page of my site to also register the users for the forum.
How can i do it ?
I also need the activate membership by e-mail to work.
 
does anyone have an idea how i should do that ?
 
Thanks
Ronen

If your pages are ASP you should use the Exsiting Member API. It is very simple to use and works very easily with your own login, logout, and registration pages.

To enable it edit in notepad the file functions/functions_member_API.asp and follow the instructions in that file.

There is also another much more powerful programmers API built in as well.

There is an XML HTTP API which as it uses HTTP with XML and can work with ASP.NET, ASP. PHP, Desktop applications, etc. It can also be used across multiple web sites, so the web site using the API doesn't need to be on the same server.

For more details and a list of available actions and methods point your browser at the HttpAPI.asp file found in the root of your forum.

Thanks for the quick answer.

Using the httpapi.asp will not help me because i need one database for the users.
I do not want them to register twice ...

The normal API works by adding the person to the Web Wiz Forums database, you can use the XML API in the same way.

You could use the HTTP XML API with your own sites login system to add new members to Web Wiz Forums when they signup to your system, update passwords when they update their passwords in your system, and when they log into your system you can use the API to see if the person is in the Web Wiz Forums database, if not add them and also update the password keeping everything in sync.
