Using fudforum throughout a website [message #9565]

I'd like to use fudforum's authentication throughout a website but not include tons of fudforum code everywhere. Ideally it will involve a simple include, and keep visitors properly authenticated. Basically I need a simple auth function, and a way to get the sid. Cookies are properly set (path = '/', domain = .me.com).

Has someone else done this or must I spend some time staring at fudforum code until figured it out? :)

Hmm...

Well, 1st thing you need to modify Cookie Path setting and make the path '/' so that the forum's cookie can be read from anywhere on your site.
Then you need to include
db.inc
err.inc
users.inc
cookies.inc

In your script, user will be automatically authenticated if they have a cookie or have a session passed via get, otherwise they will be 'initialized' as anon users. You can access the session id via a 'S' define.

I've started this process and here's what I have thus far, this might help people in the future or perhaps be streamlined by someone but it appears all these files are required. This is just a simple example:


<?php 
include_once '/path/to/your/GLOBALS.php';
include_once $DATA_DIR . 'sql/mysql/db.inc';
include_once $INCLUDE  . 'core.inc';
include_once $INCLUDE  . 'theme/default/err.inc';
include_once $INCLUDE  . 'theme/default/cookies.inc';
include_once $INCLUDE  . 'theme/default/time.inc';
include_once $INCLUDE  . 'theme/default/users.inc';

// Initiate user, returns an array of objects with user info
$userinfo = init_user();

echo "Visit the <a href='{$WWW_ROOT}?S=" . s . "'>forum</a>
";

// Only logged in users have $userinfo[1] set
if (empty($userinfo[1])) {
    include_once $INCLUDE . 'theme/default/quicklogin.inc';
    print $quick_login;
} else {
    print 'You are logged in as ' . $userinfo[1]->alias;
    print '<pre>';
    print_r($userinfo);
}
?>

Few issue with this code, GLOBALS.php will automatically include core.inc, so including it manually is not necessary.
core.inc has a nice function called fud_use() that can be used to include forum's .inc file.
users.inc will automaticall initialize the user and store the data inside $usr variable unless the 'forum_debug' constant is defined.
So the code could be simplified to:


<?php 
include_once '/path/to/your/GLOBALS.php';
fud_use('db.inc');
fud_use('err.inc');
fud_use('cookies.inc');
fud_use('time.inc');
fud_use('users.inc');
$userinfo = $usr;

if (!_uid) {
    fud_use('quicklogin.inc');
    print $quick_login;
} else {
/* registered user stuff */
}
?>

Unless I'm mistaken defining user_reg should cause users.inc to load the extended version of the fud_user, thus giving access to things like the avatar_loc... but, I can't seem to get that to work?

You need to create fud_user_reg class.

Ok, after the code you provide before, I'm trying to do the following:

$userinfo = $usr;

fud_use('users_reg.inc');
$moreinfo = new fud_user_reg;
$moreinfo->get_user_by_id($usr->id);

fud_use('users_adm.inc');
$moremoreinfo = new fud_user_adm;
$moremoreinfo->get_user_by_id($usr->id);

$moreinfo and $moremoreinfo do not contain anything in the fields for, say, avatar_loc (the one I'm after), though they have everything I see in $usr.

all you need is this:


<?php
fud_use('users_reg.inc')
$usr_info =& usr_reg_get_full($usr->id);
?>
