Hi everyone, This is the first time I use PHP, so it's very exciting + somewhat confusing at the same time. Currently I have a board runs on SimpleMachineForum software with 10000+ members and I want to use SMF's authentication system for the project Im working on (reasons: well, the current project is kinda like a plugin for the current board and I dont want have 10000+ members re-register again or have to re-login when they switch between the 2 applications.
Actually SMF made it very easy to integrate, all I have to do is: <?php require_once('/path/SSI.php'); // Then I can call $is_guest = $context['user']['is_guest']; // return true if the user has not logged in $is_admin = $context['user']['is_admin']; // return true if the user is admin // etc...... ?> However,I dont know what would be a good way to integrate it into my Cake application? Should I use the simpleAuthentication and make some small changes like this: <?php class UsersController extends AppController { function login() { // Just some example, wouldnt really work // Should I include an external file like this? require_once('/path/SSI.php'); if(!$context['user']['is_guest']) { // set some user info here $this->data['User']['username'] = $context['user']['name']; // etc //sets up the session vars $this->rdSimpleAuth->set($this->data['User']); } } } Thank you very much for helping this noob *_* --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
