Topic: Beautiful auth API, for better integration

I find punbb quite difficult to integrate into a website composed of many scripts, as you are forced to use punbb's identification system... Dokuwiki provides a simple, short and great api for that; would it be possible to have a beautiful api, so we could implement identification the way we want?

Re: Beautiful auth API, for better integration

Great that it's in the works. A couple of things you may investigate in while adding this, is using the Atom Publishing Protocol as the public posting API and OpenID for authentication. It would open up the possibilities of PunBB quite a lot and make it interoperable with a lot of software to come. smile
