Hi *,
I have a a website running for a bunch of people, written in PHP.
Everyone has it's own login, I use some session-based authentication
mechanism and a MySQL database for storing the users / passwords /
.....
Now I'd like to integrate some 3rd-party-forum into this site,
something like phpBB or similar , could also be a more simple one, it
really doesn't matter. But the point is, I don't want that my users
have to login twice, once for my site, and a second time for the
forum. I want to have the forum and my site share the same (existing)
user database.
So I need an (existing), preferably GPL'ed, preferably PHP-based forum
software with some kind of external login (e.g., using cookies, PHP
sessions, $PHP_AUTH_USER, or whatever). Sure, I could hack one, but
isn't there a better solution?
Does anyone of you such a forum? Please let me know...
Thanks,
Egon Schneider.

I found instead of creating a site and implementing a forum, it's easier
to use the forum and implement the site around it. For example, one of
the sites a buddy and I we were working on ( www.gmtuner.com) has a
phpbb-driven set of forums. Using the same cookies that phpbb uses, I
am able to authenticate users on the rest of the site. If they login on
the site, they're automatically logged in on the boards. If they log
out on the boards, they're automatically logged out on the remainder of
the website. The reverse also holds true.
I'm sure there's a way you could 'hack' phpbb to use your existing users
database, but I think it'd be far easier to set up phpbb, and copy the
logins and passwords (and whatever else is necessary) into the phpbb
users database.

I need help with having a Login Form on a website that goes to a
member only section, to beable to check my forum database so that when
people register, they register on my forum, and at the same time
register in the form for the member only section. Also, when they
login to the website form, they also login to the forum. I am using
Invision Forums 1.2 BETA if that is necissary information.

Hello,
I usually login a forum and post some messages. I can't directly post
message because the forum ask me to login first. I guess it need some
session information.
Now I want to program a C# WinForm to do it. But I heard that the session
controll in WinForm and IE are different. Is it possible that I let my
WinForm app login first and then post my messages?
Thanks.

I tried using WebRequest, but I am unable to simply
redirect to an external aspx site and supply the userid and password and
press their login button.
I got the webrequest to populate a webresponse and copy the website onto
our server. That doesn't do any good.
What I need to do is get the viewstate, add the login information and
postback to the external site. The password needs to be encrypted or
hidden.

I have a new project which is a web site used by Internal and External users
(login required users) and public users (no login required users). On
internal users, all users login network using Windows or Forms
authentication login. External users will use Forms authentication login.
Both authentications would be cookie or cookieless. How to config the
web.config file meet the requirements?

Hi,
I just want to send a very simple email from within python.
I think the standard module of smtpd in python can do this, but I
haven't found documents about how to use it after googleing. Are there
any examples of using smtpd ? I'm not an expert,so I need some examples
to learn how to use it.
Or maybe there is a better way to to this?

I have always used VBScript but now need to convert my syntax to JavaScript.
In an external file, I have a function that is called when a user clicks a

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
