Adding login script

[creatures]

I want my forum users can also use their usernames and passwords to get some special rights at my web site.

I had some search and i found that perfect code below...

<?php
require("SSI.php"); 

if ($context['user']['is_guest'])
 {
   echo 
   '<h5>Access Denied</h5>
   We are sorry guest, it seems you dont have premission to view these downloads.';
ssi_login('http://sarki.alternatifim.com/');
 }
else
 {
   echo
   '<h5>Welcome ', $context['user']['name'], '!</h5>
   Here are your downloads:';
 }
?>


However i am using forum at different domain like http://www.abc.com and my web site has also different domain name like http://www.cba.com

So, How can i check login is correct or not and getting some user information like user_id and username which are stored in db.

[Oldiesmann]

Not sure if that's possible since the site and the board are on two different domains because the domain name for the board's cookie wouldn't match the domain name for the site's cookie.

Thanks for your reply,
It is not important for me to use cookies, I just want to check if user has a valid account or not and getting user_id, that's quite enough for me...

[creatures]

Any suggestions? 

[Compuart]

As Oldiesmann said, the cookies won't work across domain names, so the users will at least need to log in on each domain seperately. As long as the scripts on both domains have access to the same database, the code you posted should work correctly.

Ok, At first i have only one domain and it is asp.net hosting and i was thinking to change my forum to smf. So i bought a new domain name and it is linux hosting. I am quiet happy to use smf really. But i need to make some modification since I let my users using forum's username and password for gaining more right at my site.

So, the asp one has not any smf files, anyway what do i need to copy to use that ssi feature.
Or do my users need to login from forum?

Thanks for your kindly helps...

Since your sites seem to be on different servers, I'm affraid integrating them is gonna be hard. If I understand your problem, the easiest way to do it would be as following:

PHP/MySQL Server
=======
Running SMF
Settings.php (with $db_server set to localhost)


ASP Server
=======
SSI.php
Settings.php (with the $db_server set to the PHP/MySQL Server)

Make sure the Sources directory is also present on your ASP server. Also MySQl has to be configured to accept connections from your ASP server.

Ok, I uploaded sources directory and also themes directory with index.template.php and index.english.php

It is working but it doesn't to redirects sarki.alternatifim.com it just redirects forum

Now it is working like forum user login system
And also, after succesfull login when i get back to page it still askes for me username and password.

What can i do more?

[Compuart]

Hmm, I forgot about the login part, which requires an index.php that's on the ASP site. Try to copy SMF's index.php to the ASP site, and point the $boardurl that's in Settings.php to URL that contains index.php. If you wanna make sure it redirects after logging in to your frontpage, call the SSI function with an extra parameter:

ssi_login('http://path.to/frontpage.php');

[creatures]

I have already copied index.php and my code already ssi_login('http://sarki.alternatifim.com/');
If i change the $boardurl it gives me another error. I also changed the directories from the index.php. Otherwise, i was getting error...

Using ssi isn't necessary for me, if i can check the username and password is correct at the db and getting user_id is enough for me. That's all but how   

It really looks hard since password salt code...

[creatures]

When i changed $board from settings.php at the asp.net server

I am getting that error
Unable to load the 'Errors' template.

[Compuart]

There's two values setting the forum directory in Settings.php:

$boarddir should be the path that points to the basedir of your (virtual) SMF forum (the $boarddir should also be the directory containing the Sources and Themes sub directory).
$boardurl should be the URL pointing to the same directory as $boarddir

Ok,
Settings.php at linux hosting

Am i making something wrong?
If i change $boardurl to www.alternatifimcafe.com instead of http://sarki.alternatifim.com
Code works like forum's user login script...

Maybe i need to copy more files since it gives error like Unable to load the 'Errors' template.

Maybe i need to copy default template... 

[Compuart]

Indeed, that would be a good idea. It might try to communicate something, but be unable to do so since there are no templates to show it.

[creatures]

After copiying files like login.template it startes the work, but it is not working correctly.
It tries to work as a new forum...

I need to try something difference

[creatures]

I have writed a script for just reading smf_members
But transfering userpassword to passwd with passwordSalt looks like very hard

Basically, i need to do this since ssi doesn't make any sense for me

Can anyone help for changing password to passwd (at smf_members table) if we know passwordSalt...

[creatures]

I am really sorry to reopen this topic, but it is really important for me.

Does anyone can help for checking login from other domain
