Can My Forum And Website Use The Same Profiles?

kvarnerexpress
I've been programming a 'rate-em' site from scratch. You know like Hot Or Not. YEs,.. yet another rate-em website. Anyway, i'ts done and before I launch it I need to add a forum as the finishing touch, but all the forum softeware out there seems so hard to integrate.

I'm trying to make it so that when a user logs into my rate-em website they are also logged into 'my forum'. i.e. i want my forum and web site to use the same profile data.

If anyone knows of a forum program made for this objective please let me know. I'm in over my head, any help would be greatly apreciated

why don't you work the other way around? you can choose a forum (like phpbb) and use the member login profile of the forum to give access to your "rate-em" page. smile.gif since your "rate-em" page is customized to your specs, just tweaking with its programming to access the forum profile would be easier, i suppose. smile.gif

He is right, the easiest way to do that is to first get the forum up and then use the data for the profiles/usernames/passwords for your site. One problem I can see is figuring out what type of protection the forum uses on the passwords, whether its md5 or a custom thing. You would have to figure this out so that your login on your site would work. The only other problem I see is cookies, I'm not quite sure how you would set cookies so that it works for both, because it usually sets domains with it. So you probably would need to set a cookie for your whole site or something like that.

hope it helps, xJedix
