Hi one and all, I hope that someone out there can help me?

I'm trying to get PunBB to play nice with CakePHP. I want Cake to know if someone is logged in via Pun or not.

I've gone through all the threads in this forum, and so far I've got the following (within my app_controller's beforeFilter()):

define('FORUM_ROOT', 'C:/xampp/htdocs-unknowntales/punbb/'); // path to punbb install directory
require FORUM_ROOT.'include/common.php';

The problem I've now got is the following error:

Which relates to this line:

'ON'            => 'o.ident=\''.$forum_db->escape($remote_addr).'\''

Which is making me think that for whatever reason, it can't find the $forum_db object.

Does anyone have any idea why this might be?

Thank you.

Hello one and all, I hoping that one of the highly talented members of this forum can help me with something?

I've just launched a site called UnknownTales.net. The short description of the site is that it combines role play and writing to let members create interactive fiction. For a more full description, check out our First Time Here? page.

Anyway, the site has been developed from the ground up by myself with it's own member authentication sign-up/login system. For all purposes intent, I'm quite happy with what I have achieved with it, and so for both personal and professional reasons, I'd rather leave that as it is.

The problem I have, of course, is that I want to add a forum to the site (and I'm quite impressed with PunBB, it should suit me just fine), but I want to integrate it with my existing user login system. I could just install PunBB and get members to sign-up twice, but I don't think that would be the best move.

So what I'm looking for is someone to help me to modify PunBB so that it uses my login system (or at least my users database), so my members only need one account to access the whole site.

Is anyone here able to help me do that please?

Thank you

Hi guys, I'm looking to use PunBB as the basis for a site I'm developing for a client. They're after a basic portal with some extra features thrown in (i.e. a directory service - listing businesses that provide specific services, split into different categories).

Now I can do all of what they want, I just need a bit of a head start with regards to the PunBB side of things - i.e. I'm planning on using the scripts own user authentication system to block access to specific pages based on user group, as well as use PunBBs templates and such for the headers, etc..

Can someone point me in the right direction for the quick-start guide on how the user authentication works, and what code I'd need (the basic template, if you like) that I'll need to work from.

I'm sure all of this information must be readily available, and I have looked for it, but I guess I'm not very good at finding it. So if someone could help me out, it would be grand.

Thank you
