Re: SMF + CakePHP
Hi, there is no need to use sessions in my Applications. I check the user's cookies before each action with beforeFilter in app_controller.php. This means I have one extra DB read query per action - a value that I can live with ;) Cheers, Marcus On Oct 25, 4:54 pm, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Cool!

I assume that phpBB doesnt have some kind of api file, because if you can call a function to retrieve the user's info from the forum's session, why would you want to store those infomation in Cake's session? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Cake PHP group.

Re: SMF + CakePHP
All of my CakePHP projects are integrated into vBulletin and simply use the board's cookies. When a user is logged in onto the board, he gets at least two cookies: one with the user id and one with a password hash. I can check the id and the password hash against the vBulletin user table and can authenticate the user. A check for special user groups like banned users or administrators is also possible. I think it's possible to do something similar with SMF. (Code for my vB-AuthComponent is about 3 KiB or so, 1 DB query is done per CakePHP action - but it's easily possible to create a session after initially authenticating the user against vBulletin. Then only one query against the vBulletin database is needed for every session.).
