External Login/Password Database Source

« on: February 11, 2003, 07:16:22 PM »

I'm attempting to integrate YABBSE into my portal page. The problem that i'm facing is that users need to re-register for YABB and for the portal. I'm looking though some of the pages in /Sources I could rewrite the Register/Login functions to add/query my database, but this could (probably would) cause problems with the rest of the site.

What is the recommended approch to accomplish this, if any. Is there already a "hack" to allow YABB to hook into LDAP or an other Data Source?

Thank you.

I've done this to many different scripts, including my own.

Usually, it's quite easy to add a few queries in... just do a full text search of the directory for some thing like $_COOKIE or whatever it uses.

We've done it on our site too, also check out http://www.ofpec.com, they have used the same method as us. We arent using a ready made CMS system, made by *drum roll* usses

P.S. Our site isnt up yet because we are still developing it.
