Hey guys I have this forum inside my coldfusion app. Id like to make it so when you login on my site you are logged in on the forums as well.
On my site when you log in I am setting session.user to the user's id in the DB. Is there a way i can make the snitz forums recognize this or is it easier to make my app use the forums session or cookie variables?
On what page is the session management variables being set in the forums?
Snitz login is not handled by sessions, but by cookies. The function that sets Snitz cookies is the doCookies function in inc_func_common.asp, invoked from inc_header.asp.
I guess what I am asking is can I have a html form with a username and password that passes into whatever function checks the username and password against the forum_members table and sets the cookie?
I know nothing about asp but have my forums inside a cf application. I have a login within the cf application and would like to make it that no matter where they login, be it in the cf app or the snitz forums, that they get logged in no matter which login module they used.
Can anyone help me with letting me know if its possible and if it is what I put into the action/method in my form tag and what I need to call each form field (username, passord)
You can create the cookie like Snitz does it, yes. Of course Snitz, after reading the cookie, checks the FORUM_MEMBERS table to confirm the username and password, so the MEMBERS table must be properly filled in.
cfusiongod OR anyone else that may know.... I would like to use Snitz with a program called intranetconnections.com I really want to use the intranet id/password to log into Snitz. Has anyone done that for this program? The program is in CF.
