Integrating the login of SMF with a Creloaded OSCommerce store

[MancerCorp]

we are setting up a support forum for our website, which is a Creloaded OSCommerce store. it would be fantastic if we were able to bridge the login information at the very least, if not keep a visitor logged in when going from one platform to the other.

Both are housed on the same domain. I am not technically skilled enough to be able to do this myself. If anyone is able to offer some assistance in this regard it would be greatly appreciated.

You could look at using a combination of the getMemberID() and registerMember() functions, using these two function you could pass in the member data from your OSCommerce site to SMF and check if the user exists and a member ID is returned and if so then log them in, if not then you can use registerMember() function to register the member and log them in.

This is a very high level example, I've implemented something similar before use a custom mod and its not that hard to do and is pretty robust once you have all your error checking in place.

I honestly wouldn't have the time to commit to developing a mod at present, if you pop over to the Mod Request board and outline what your looking for someone should be able to help you out.
