I have a security/registration system for my membership website. Consequently, I already have user name, email, password and date of birth information for my users. I really don't want my users to have to remember two log ins, nor do I want them spoofing other user names in the forum.
Ideally, when they go into the forum for the first time, I'd like to be able to pass their site log in info (email, user name, password, and date of birth) into the forum's registration system to create their account, and then log them into the forum automatically whenever they go to the forum.
The idea is for the forum security to work with the site security so that my members don't have to log in twice to use the forum.
Is there a mod to do this? If not, can someone give me the best methodology to accomplish this? I'm a fairly experienced programmer, but I'm new to the forum code, so specific step by step instructions would be the most help. Needless to say, this isn't a trivial application, and whatever assistance I can get would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Regards,
John

There's no MOD per se as there are near infinite login systems to integrate into. 
There have been a number of related posts about integrating various login systems, with pointers and various pieces of information, scattered hither and yon around here. Have you searched for some of them? |

| It seems that you could alter your site security to also create a cookie that the Snitz forums can read. The cookie would store the username and password at the time your member logs in via the site security. Then the Snitz pages should be able to read the login credentials and establish a session when your members hit the Snitz pages. Hopefully this would show the members as logged in. However, I haven't had a need to program this before, so I really don't know. I don't know that it would be that easy to start a session. One of the guys would know, but this question shouldn't be in the Help: General / Current Version (v3.4.xx) forum. It should be in the MOD Add-On Forum (W/O Code) forum. |
