Topic: Login to website -> automatically login to PunBB ?

Hi,

i'm glad that i've found PunBB (searched a secure forum and just took the one from www.hardened-php.net as they provide php security issues on their side).

I have a site, where the user needs to login or get access to the special area, which includes the forum. Now, off course i don't want a user to login twice, in my site AND to the forum. So, what are the Session-Variables i have to set after a successfull login to MY site (not to the forum), or where can i found the code related to my request ? What information does the cookie contain ?

And further: where can i change the color from blue to red ? :-)

That looks more like integrating my website into punbb, not integrating punbb into my website. Further, not one word about sessions !?

PunBB doesn't use sessions, and integrating your site into PunBB is probably easier.

So, how do you check the sessions ?

PunBB relies completely on cookies.
