Hey Ilia et all,

I started building a new website and would like to use FUD as the forum for it. I know there are many topics on this, I've read through most of them and apologize for another one, but I am still not sure I totally follow.

I've set up the homepage with joomla which has a login form there. What I would like to have happen is when you log into the site then click on the forum link, your login info carries over and are automatically logged into the forum. From what I read, this is possible. Am I correct?

I see that FUDAPI and possibly forum_login.php are involved, but exactly how? Where do I put them within the directories to make use of them?

Also, what about if you register a new username from the homepage? Can that carry over and be acknowledged in the forum as well?

Any information beyond "..read up on php..", would be greatly appreciated.

forum_login.php provides API functions for logging in a user into a forum and setting a cookie on their machine. FUDAPI script provides functions for fetching user information, you can use to "register" users from FUDforum on other applications.

If you search the forum archives you will see some examples of how the two are being used.
