Last 3 days i have tried to login both Cakephp and smf forum with a single login form. I can't find any solution. Please check my topic -

Dear Community member please reply me.

Hi

I'm sorry that you had no reply. This is the kind of issue that not many people have the knowledge required to help you with.

I also don't have it but here goes nothing

AFAIK, you can only have 1 active session. So, if your CakePHP generates a session, SMF will not be able to generate its own. That's why your second session output is totally different from the first one.
You should even get a warning in PHP, I think (not really sure about that).

So, if you want to integrate the logins, you should do it in a different way.
My suggestion is for you to check the recent bridge WP --> SMF --> https://github.com/xchwarze/WP2SMFBridge
You will see that, when a user logs in into WP, it generates the necessary SMF data, including the necessary cookie. And that, IMO, is the correct way to do it

I saw your link. But this code developed in Wordpress. I need CakePhp

Its the same principle.

A quick search on their site: http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/dirhauge/2007/10/31/cakephp-smf  which is still valid for SMF, I don't know if it is still valid for cakephp though.

This code I have used. This is for older version. CakePHP 2.x not supported this code.
I googled I am not getting satisfy answer.

Perhaps if you provide more info?  starting with the cakephp version you are using.

Are you familiar with cakephp? are you looking for someone to do the script for you or just a guide to do it yourself?
