Topic: Using PunBB to authenticate users?

Hello

On the same site, I'd like to provide a forum (PunBB, naturally) and a blog (TextPattern or some other solution) so users can post comments.

I don't want users to have to log on twice, once to post to the forum, and the other to type comments.

If someone's already done this: Is it easy to plug another PHP application to use the PunBB database/tables to take care of authentication?

Thank you.

Hi

I believe punBB and Wordpress integration plugin could suit you.

Or, if you are a programmer you could check logging script on Wiki.

Thanks Grez. Looks like just what I was looking for. I'll give it a try tomorrow and report back.

Re: Using PunBB to authenticate users?

Works great smile I just had to copy/paste the code to /var/www/logon.php and once authenticated, redirect the user to /var/www/index.html.

One little thing, though: Does someone know how to remove the trailing "login=1" that PunBB adds after redirecting the user?

Thank you.
