with a site which has a membership system in place.
 
Hi
 
Has anyone installed webwiz forums into a site in which you already have a large membership / login system.
 
I'd love to use webwiz on my site, but am not sure how to integrate it. I have an SQL table with username and password in already, and when a user logins to the existing site they have sessions written for a number of things (eg. username).
 
Obviously I haven't given much info here, but I was wondering if anyone could offer any initial advice.
 
All help gratefully received.
 
Cheers

Del

you need to cross match your existing user system to the forum. you could add a user_code field in the existing one where the user codes match there accounts are the same one.

so when the session is set to say you are logged in, set a cookie with the User_code value, also do the same on the forum side setting the session veriable.

you will also have to update te user_codes on login to the forum (securtiy feature).

there are a few other pages like forgotten password, if the admin changes his/users username etc... take a look at my application download zip for wwf.

that lists all the files that will need ot be updated if you use the user_code system.

Thanks dj air
 
It also looks like I might be able to use your system as an intermediary. It'll take a few more changes on my site though.
 
I'll probably be in touch!
 
Cheers
