Hello,
I downloaded and installed the forum a few days ago, and I'd like to ask about the possibility of integrating it into a website, just like in the "Single Sign-on" topic - but the other way around. I don't use a CMS, but I have a few password-protected directories. Normally, I would use the standard Apache .htpasswd feature for less important stuff, or possibly write a PEAR-based authentication function for more sensitive documents. Now I'd like to integrate the password-protection with FUDForum - however, not like in the case of CMS integration, where the CMS would do the authentication part and then notify FUDForum by including and using the user_login() function, but on the contrary: I would like to include a function in otherwise plain HTML documents so that they would authenticate a user against the forum's database. Is that possible, and has anyone done that before? I'd be very grateful for a push in the right direction. Thanks.

As of FUDforum 2.6.12 there is a special script inside the scripts/ directory called forum_login.php that implements external_fud_login() function that given a forum user id will log that user in.

I've been regularly using Apache's <Files> directive to selectively change the MIME type of chosen documents to application/x-httpd-php - it's a bit risky if you don't control the configuration of the webserver (once the <Files> block gets deleted, visitors will see the PHP code), but otherwise helps to conceal the presence of PHP in served documents.
