Revisions welcome, obviously, but this is working well for me.

I'm extending the functionality even further, with simple things like increasing the user's post count when they make comments outside of the forum. I am very interested to see how other people are implementing PunBB functionality across different CMSes.

Alright, my revised script:

//include the config file from PunBB
include ("forum/config.php");

//Decode the forum cookie.
$decoded_cookie = base64_decode($_COOKIE[$cookie_name]);
$logged_in_info = explode("|",$decoded_cookie);

//Grab the user's profile out of the forum
$result_com_from = mysql_db_query($database, "SELECT * FROM forum_users WHERE id = '".$logged_in_info[0]."'") or die (mysql_error());
$qry_com_from = mysql_fetch_array($result_com_from);

// Compare the     password hash in the cookie with the user's password hash stored for the forum. If they don't match, kill the script.
if ($logged_in_info[0] != $qry_com_from['password']) { 
    die("Sorry, there's something wrong with your cookie. Maybe you're a hacker? Try logging out and back in and see if that helps."); 
} else {

        // Continue processing here because the cookie pass matched the database pass

}

Alright, I got it working for me in a very, very, VERY simple way. It is not all that secure, but for my means it is okay:

//include the config file from PunBB
include ("forum/config.php");

//Decode the forum cookie.
$decoded_cookie = base64_decode($_COOKIE[$cookie_name]);
$logged_in_info = explode("|",$decoded_cookie);
echo "User ID: ".$logged_in_info[0];

Obviously, if the cookie isn't set, the user isn't logged in. The user's password is also saved within the cookie and can be cross-checked to verify it is not a spoofed cookie for added security, which I may add eventually but for now this is about all the implementation I am looking for. Using the User ID, you can look up the user's information in the database and echo it all out in commenting forms and stuff across the site.

Anyway, there's my basic solution. Very interested in other people's.

Little help on exactly which code to mimic? I try putting this code in the head:

if (!defined('FORUM_ROOT'))
    define('FORUM_ROOT', 'forum/');
require FORUM_ROOT.'include/common.php';

But then I get this error:


Warning: require(forum/include/essentials.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/ruesome/public_html/g/forum/include/common.php on line 15

Warning: require(forum/include/essentials.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/ruesome/public_html/g/forum/include/common.php on line 15

Hello,

I am setting up a home-made CMS/blog alongside punBB. The main blog is at www.domain.com, and the forum is at www.domain.com/forum.

What I'd like to be able to do is read forum information from inside the main CMS. So, while in the blog, if they are logged in they will see a comment forum to post comments to the blog. If they are not logged in, they see a message saying they can't comment.

I do not need or want header integration, just reading session information from PunBB. Is this possible?
