Can you please add a function like this to "forum_login.php" or "fudapi.inc.php"?


<?php
function external_fud_authenticate($username, $password) {
  ...
  return 0;  // Invalid username or password
  ...
  return $user_id;  // Username and password is valid
}
?>

Best regards.

That was quick! Thank you very much.

Can you please also apply this patch (untested):

Applied with a small modification, which is what I suspect inspired the need for this patch.

Yes, thank you!

I also had to add the following lines to prevent errors:

        return q_singleval("SELECT id FROM ".$DBHOST_TBL_PREFIX."users WHERE login='".addslashes($login)."' AND passwd='".md5($passwd)."'");

I'm sure you will be able to optimize it further...
