Hi, all, I need your help !
WWF as part of my website, working fine, until now. I am going to add group buying module into my website, like GROUPON, but new module has login/register/ user management system too, how can I do to avoid two separate user systems.
Thanks!

As your Web Wiz Forums is already going you would need to see if Groupon has a login integration system, if not then it will be custom programming and allot of work.

I don't see that Groupon has a login integration system, but I would rather like to clear all the forum data to start over if that is necessary and possible, please give me more lights on the steps to combine two user management systems, thanks!

I have integrated the WWF login with a website login to create a universal login, as I call it. Before you do any integrating, you would need to decide what login system will be the primary login system. I chose to make WWF the primary login system and then gutted everything else to use that. Lots of custom programing required. But I started the integration way before WWF had an API.
As I see it, you have a couple choices:
1. Use the other script's login system to manage members, and use WWF's API to integrate with that other script. You would need to modify the other script to call WWF's API.
2. Use WWF as the primary login, and sync it with the other login system. You probably would have to custom code this completely.
3. Use WWF as the primary login system, and gut the other login system (i.e completely bypass it). Have WWF set any necessary cookies or session variables for the other script. Requires a lot of custom coding, but you are not duplicating member data in two database tables.
I chose #3. Any other script's login system was bypassed completely, and I let WWF be the login for the entire site, setting all cookies and session variables for all scripts on the site.
