I've locked the guide topic to keep it strictly informational.

If you would like to see more information, or different information than what I have provided, please let me know in this topic.

Hi Orstio,

i have a feeling your guide is the answer to my problem... only thing, i have no idea how to start with your guide. Is there a simple example, like how should i use the hooks, or which file should i include in my own scripts?

which CMS bridge you have applied the hook systems? then i can download and view it myself...

thanks!

wahlau.

Good questions.

All of the bridges use the hook system.  The file to include in your own scripts is mainly just SMF's index.php.

The simplest of the bridges is currently the iGamingCMS bridge.  That would probably be a nice beginner example.  The hooks are defined and used in the file smf.php of that package.

i tried, but i think i don't get it :)


say my system is stored in /, and smf in /forum. so i would perform the normal login from /index.php. Following your guide, i will include the hooks in /integrate.php.

so say when i wish to have the integration, in my index.php i will include /integrate.php, which will include /forum/index.php? as soon as i call the method integrate_login($username, $pass, $cookietime), the hooks will take place and i will automatically be logged into SMF system?

hope my example clarifies my understanding... thank you

No, the method integrate_login($username, $pass, $cookietime) will be called when a user attempts to login in SMF.

This would mean that your login form should submit to the integration:

<form action="integrate.php?action=login2" method="post">

In the integrate_login function, you would put the code that will log the user into the CMS.

but in that case integrate.php should never be used directly, right? since by loading integrate.php, it will display the standard login page of SMF (from my understanding, integrate.php has an include(/forum/index.php) line...)

thanks.. i have the feeling i am close to the solution. shall try tonight.

Hey,

I'm just delving into the world of SMF integration, and I really appreciate these hooks.

Being a computer geek, I have to say that my mind works a little differently and instructions may or may not teach me anything at all, no matter how good they are.

Give me one example of a plugin that uses these hooks, and I'm good to go.  While I did see a snippet of code there, I was unable, initially, to relate where that code might go.  SMF?  The CMS?  A plugin?  (just as an example).

Basically, an example plugin with hooks would do wonders.  I'm sure I'm not the only one that is incapable of relating to instructions  :)

Ok,

I'm somewhat up to speed now, and I'm definitely going to be utilizing these hooks.

A couple observations:

integrate_register occurs JUST before the user registers.  Which, unfortunately, means that it does not know the User ID, for instance.  In my code, it is essential that the User ID is tracked.  It really should be with any integration code, imho, to properly identify that individual.

I'm wondering if this hook might better occur right After the user registration, and include ID_MEMBER in it's array?


My other comment is that I think these hooks are great, and could be used for much more than integration with a little tweaking.  I hope to see more this in future versions!

Yeah, that makes sense.

You can make the change yourself, actually.  It's in Subs-Members.php:

// Call an optional function to validate the users' input.
if (isset($modSettings['integrate_register']) && function_exists($modSettings['integrate_register']))
$modSettings['integrate_register']($regOptions, $theme_vars);

// Register them into the database.
db_query("
INSERT INTO {$db_prefix}members
(" . implode(', ', array_keys($regOptions['register_vars'])) . ")
VALUES (" . implode(', ', $regOptions['register_vars']) . ')', __FILE__, __LINE__);
$memberID = db_insert_id();

Change to:

// Register them into the database.
db_query("
INSERT INTO {$db_prefix}members
(" . implode(', ', array_keys($regOptions['register_vars'])) . ")
VALUES (" . implode(', ', $regOptions['register_vars']) . ')', __FILE__, __LINE__);
$memberID = db_insert_id();

// Call an optional function to validate the users' input.
if (isset($modSettings['integrate_register']) && function_exists($modSettings['integrate_register']))
$modSettings['integrate_register']($regOptions, $theme_vars);

Then you'll just need to global $memberID in your integration function.

Either your CMS is Joomla, or you have a whole lot of Joomla code in there that you shouldn't.

Hello,

I would like to connect "automatically" my portal users to SMF. I have a form asking user/password, and I check in my tables if it is correct. Then, I would like to active SMF cookie. In simple words, what should I add to my program ?

Hello Orstio,

Thanks for the code to change integrate_register!

These hooks are great, and I'm almost done my plugin to utilize them.

I'm creating a plugin for others to use as well, so I'm a little scared to be moving that hook around and creating compatibility problems.

For now, my plugin will create it's own hook at that insertion point, so it will still be compatible with other systems that use integrate_register, as well as future versions of SMF which may end up having integrate_register in another location.

cheers!

I am not very well known with SMF at the moment but I am convinced it is very powerful forum software. I am planning to completely rebuild an existing website. This site contains currently a PHPBB forum and also a custom part (with written articles, a photogallery and more). Both parts use the same login information, but you still have to login twice. (If you log in at the forum, you are not logged in at the rest of the site, and otherwise).

Anyway, I would like to use SMF in the future for the forum. I already discovered some possibilities of SSI.php but these integration hooks seem to be more powerful.

My real question is: Is it possible to have only one central login (that of SMF of course) that is used for both forum and the rest of the site ? I'd like to have a possibility to login on the forum ánd on the other part of the site, but you need to login only once for both parts.

Although I read the topic about the integration hooks this did not become totally clear to me, could anybody tell me ?

Yes, the hooks allow you to use SMF's login procedure to login to both SMF and another application.

Yes, the hooks allow you to use SMF's login procedure to login to both SMF and another application.

Even if the login-form is on located on the other application ? (So that in fact no forum is seen when logging in to the other part of the site...)

That would be nicest :)

In order to use the SMF login hook, the form must submit to SMF.

Well, I feel free to ask some more ;)

How likely is it that these hooks will be available in SMF 2.0 too ? SMF 2.0 looks even more promising but in fact I don't want to wait for it to be released because I would like to start developing the rest of my site this holiday. If the integration hooks remain the same I can use 1.1.3 to develop and (hopefully) switch to 2.0 later.

Is anything known about that ?

The hooks will remain in 2.0.

right, I've been reading this and I think I am getting there.... but want to make sure.

On my own custom built cms when someone logs in, they need to be logged into the forum too so I would now have to use the SMF login with my CMS code in that?

When someone registers on my CMS, can I just call a hook to register on SMF too so it's transparent to the user?

Once I have go those two things sorted, I think the rest will fall into place. I don't want to do massive changes to my existing CMS and keep disruption to a minimum while I'm trying to get this to work.

Orstio,

Thank you very much for these hooks!

My bridge is now stable, and I have used the hooks extensively for it.

I do think that these hooks could be useful beyond integration, though.

After working with Wordpress...which uses hooks exclusively for all plugins, I feel like having both hooks and xml available for plugins would be the best way to go.

If SMF had a "plugins" folder, and all files in it were included within index.php (this is sort of how my bridge is structured), you would essentially be giving hook access to all plugin developers.

This could significantly limit the amount of code alterations in plugins, increase compatibility, and simply make them easier to write.  For example, my plugin can now completely integrate SMF users with Wordpress, no simple task:  but I only needed to add 3 lines of code to do it.

Essentially, plugins developers would still have the xml power to alter code, but the availability of hooks would allow them to write their plugins without altering any code whenever possible.

I feel like plugin developers would be getting the best of both worlds, and it would require very minimal alteration to accomplish.

Anyway,

Thanks, the hooks really did it for me!

Orstio,

I've read through the different hooks, I'm wondering is there a hook to simply create a new thread?

I want to write a php function that will create a new thread and put a single post in it.

puredemo,
You can use the createPost() function in Subs-Post.php to create a topic and/or post.

A hook would be used to call a function when a topic was made.

Thantos,

Thanks for the quick response. Best... sigline... ever.

I've been looking at these integration hooks but I'm not sure if what I need is possible, can anyone clarify this?

Right now we have a base SMF installation, and we use a CRM system which provides all of our member management as well as our website to these members, ecommerce etc.

Since our website already establishes unique username and passwords, I would like to have SMF first query its database to check if the user is an SMF user, and if so log the user in as usual. However if the user is not found would it be possible for SMF then to query our existing database using its xml interface, and look for the user there. Then if the user exists log them into SMF as well as create a record for them in SMF so the multiple queries would not be required all the time.

This way our existing users would gain access to SMF as well as our moderately large existing forum user base to continue uninterrupted use.

It seems like these integration hooks might work, but it almost seems like i might have to modify the core?

Am i on the right track or totally off base?

Thanks

No, you wouldn't need to modify the SMF core.

You would use the integrate_validate_login hook.

In your hook function, you would first check to see if the user already exists in SMF.  If the user does not exist in SMF, you would check to see if the user exists in the CRM system.  If the user does exist, you would write that user into SMF, and then return the function.

Can these hooks be used when SMF and the other application are physically located on seperate servers? And what would be the best bridge example to get an idea of how best to use the hooks? Have been wondering for some time how I could link SMF to my sites in-house authentication system to make it easier for my members to keep up-to-date on the forum and this looks like the answer to my problems, just not 100% sure how to implement.

Also one last Q, will these work with SMF 2.0 as they do currently?

QuoteCan these hooks be used when SMF and the other application are physically located on seperate servers?

They can, but I would never recommend it.  XSS (cross-site scripting) is asking for script-kiddie trouble.  It is always best to keep connected scripts on the same physical server.

QuoteAnd what would be the best bridge example to get an idea of how best to use the hooks?

The simplest would be the iGamingCMS bridge.  The Mambo bridge has some more advanced integration.

QuoteHave been wondering for some time how I could link SMF to my sites in-house authentication system to make it easier for my members to keep up-to-date on the forum and this looks like the answer to my problems,

It's actually just the opposite.  The hooks use SMF's authentication system to register and login, etc. to other scripts.

QuoteAlso one last Q, will these work with SMF 2.0 as they do currently?

The same integration hooks will exist in SMF 2.0.  There may be more functionality added to the system overall, however, that may require changes to integrations as well.

Hmm, so maybe this wouldnt help me? Basically what I'm looking for is a way that when someone registers on my site, I can create a forum account for them, and similarly when they login to my site they can be logged into the forum without them having to enter their details twice. Is this not what I'm looking for?

Thanks for the quick response ;D

You would simply need to pass the registration info to SMF's registerMember function in Subs-Members.php to register them in SMF. Not sure exactly how you'd handle the login.

thanks

Great guide... I'm attempting to expand my Who's Online to cover other parts of my site. I've created a simple whos_online_function function so far for testing:


function whos_online_function($actions) {

return ('whoadmin_dumpdb');
}


I'm just trying to test at this point, I would have expected everyone's status to flip to "Backing up the database to file." but it didn't. I've added what I believe is the correct row to my settings table. Here's an export of it:

INSERT INTO `smf_settings` (`variable`, `value`) VALUES
('integrate_whos_online', 'whos_online_function');

Any advice? I'm sure I'm missing something simple.


Thanks
Mike

Where did you put the function?  Is it in Who.php?

What you have there will return the text 'whoadmin_dumpdb'.  If you want it from the language file, it needs to be $txt['whoadmin_dumpdb'].

Thanks Orstio, I included the function in a global PHP file that I include for all pages. So I should be returning the actual text I want displayed in Who's online? I.E. return ("testing a customized Who's Online message."); for example?

QuoteThanks Orstio, I included the function in a global PHP file that I include for all pages.

So, from where exactly is it included?  It will need to be in the workflow before Who.php is executed.

QuoteSo I should be returning the actual text I want displayed in Who's online? I.E. return ("testing a customized Who's Online message."); for example?

Yes.

It's included in global.php, it's the first include call made in the script and one of the first things to be done for all pages (forum and non-forum).

I changed the return value as above, but it still doesn't have any effect. I have the gallery mod installed which defines parts of SMF_INTEGRATION_SETTINGS already (but not integrate_whos_online). It doesn't seem like setting is taking for some reason though.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

QuoteIt's included in global.php, it's the first include call made in the script and one of the first things to be done for all pages (forum and non-forum).

In what line of what file is it included?  I need some details on where the include occurs in the workflow.

Sorry, I'm not trying to be vague, honest. :) When a non-forum page is loaded, the first thing it does is inclide_once global.php. global.php sets a couple of variables and then includes functions.php, which contains the whos_online_function function. It then includes SSI.php. Is that the workflow you're looking for?

BTW I noticed something odd... although my test status never shows up in who's online for my test user, a call to determineActions (in Who.php) will actually show them with the new status. So it's "almost" working.

Thanks!
Mike

Perfect.

So, that function is never included when the forum is loaded.

When you are looking at your Who's Online page, you have the forum loaded.

The whos_online_function needs to be in the workflow that produces the Who's Online page.

The easiest way to accomplish that if you haven't built a bridge up front is to tag it onto the end of SMF's Who.php.

Ah, that makes perfect sense! So I add the include for functions.php to Who.php then, and the forums already know when to call it?

That should work, yes, though you should be aware it will also add the overhead of your functions.php to your forum load.

PS:  Something else you might also notice is that every external page shows as the forum main page in the whos online list.  You can circumvent that by using the ssi_log_online function on the non-forum pages.

Thanks, I'll give that a shot. functions.php shouldn't add too much, it really just defines about 10 common functions but doesn't do too much else.

Thanks for the PS tip, I've noticed that too... I currently use writeLog(); but is ssi_log_online(); better?

Same thing.  ;)

These hooks look like they might be just what I've been looking for. I'm building a site using CodeIgniter, and I want to integrate it with an SMF forum.

Here's the thing. Registering on a forum means looking at a whole lot of intimidating legalese. For example, here's the registration text for SMF:

Yikes!  I don't want to show all that to people who just want to register on the CI site I'm building. I just want them to be able to register quickly and easily, probably with email verification.

Of course, if they want to use the forum, then they need to see all that legalese.

I guess I could do this:

- Users could register on the forum, and my site will check the SMF database to look for their name and password when they log onto my site.

- Users could also register on my site and that auto-adds them to the forum. But then how do I make sure they see the legalese before they start posting to the forum?

Thanks in advance to all for any info.

You could add a field to the profile info (something like "seen_forum"), and set it to false.  If they try to access the forum, and that field is false, you direct them to a page that shows them the TOS, and when they agree, the form submission sets it to true.

You could set this all up in CI, so it wouldn't need to touch the forum.

Thanks very much, Orstio. If they access the SMF forum from an SMF login page, is there a hook I can use to check the "seen_forum" field and direct them to the TOS page if necessary?

It depends where you would want to trigger it.  You could do it on the login event with the integrate_login hook, or you could do it on the initial page load of the forum with the integrate_pre_load hook.

It is important to note that this hook occurs in the workflow before the user information is loaded, so that may be something you would need to do in the hook function.

Excellent!  Now, I still have two questions about how these hooks are used.

1) To make them accessible, is it correct that I just put this at the top of my php code?

Quoterequire($smf_path."/index.php");

2) Suppose I want to use the integrate_login hook. How do I get my own code to be called via the integrate_login hook?

Thanks very much in advance for this great info!

Quote1) To make them accessible, is it correct that I just put this at the top of my php code?


Quote
require($smf_path."/index.php");

No, that will load and display SMF.  It will also start up the hooks, but only because SMF is loaded.

What you need is the hook startup:

http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=173483.0#post_starting_up

Quote2) Suppose I want to use the integrate_login hook. How do I get my own code to be called via the integrate_login hook?

See the post linked above.

Okay, I think I'm starting to get it. I use the following array:

Quote//define the integration functions
define('SMF_INTEGRATION_SETTINGS', serialize(array(
   'integrate_change_email' => 'change_email_function',
   'integrate_change_member_data' => 'change_member_data_function',
   'integrate_reset_pass' => 'reset_pass_function',
   'integrate_exit' => 'exit_function',
   'integrate_logout' => 'logout_function',
   'integrate_outgoing_email' => 'outgoing_email_function',
   'integrate_login' => 'login_function',
   'integrate_validate_login' => 'validate_login_function',
   'integrate_redirect' => 'redirect_function',
   'integrate_delete_member' => 'delete_member_function',
   'integrate_register' => 'register_function',
   'integrate_pre_load' => 'pre_load_function',
   'integrate_whos_online' => 'whos_online_function',
)));

For example, if I want to use the integrate_login hook, I edit the line for that function in the above array like this:

   

Quote'integrate_login' => 'my_login_function',

Then I define a function like this in my php code:

Quotefunction my_login_function()
{
}

...and it will be called by SMF at the correct time. Am I correct so far?

Now, I still think I need to somehow do some sort of a require or require once at the top of my php code, so that SMF gets started.  Is this correct, and if so, what do SMF file do I use in the require statement?

You have the right idea.

The integrate_login hook is called during SMF's login procedure.  So, as long as the form submits to SMF, you don't need to worry about including SMF in the workflow, because it will be the workflow.

What you will probably need to do is either create a whole bridge (similar to the Mambo bridge, where the entire SMF workflow is wrapped in the CMS), or include/require a file at the beginning of SMF that will define the integration array.

Quoteinclude/require a file at the beginning of SMF that will define the integration array.

That sounds like a very good way to go. How can I tell SMF where to find the php functions I specify in the SMF_INTEGRATION_SETTINGS array?

As long as that file is included near the beginning of SMF's index.php, it will find them.

You could also use the integrate_pre_include hook by adding the variable=>value pair to the smf_settings table:

integrate_pre_include => my_include_file.php

Very cool! So, I could have a library php file, that just contains the functions I need to use for the hooks.

I guess I should include this library file near the beginning of SMF's index.php, so that my functions will be called even if the user enters the system through SMF, rather than through my CI app.

QuoteAs long as that file is included near the beginning of SMF's index.php, it will find them.

Should I directly edit the SMF index.php file, to include my library file (via a 'require' statement), or is there a more elegant way to do this?

It's cool - it's just one line. This is very cool. Thank you so much for all your help!

I'm getting started today on implementing the good advice I have received here, and adding an SMF forum to my site. :) 

When a user registers on my CI site, rather than on my SMF forum, I would like to auto-add them to my SMF forum database, as we discussed.  What's the best way for me to do this? Should I use a routine from ssi.php, or from smf.api - or is there an even better way? Thanks very much in advance for your thoughts.

Try this:

http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=48220.msg344006#msg344006

Great. Thanks!

The integration is going very well.  People can register, login, and logout from my main site, and they are automatically registered/logged in/logged out for my SMF forum. :)

I'm getting started now on using the SMF integration hooks. The first one I'm working on is integrate_login.  I have the hook installed, and SMF is calling my PHP routine ("login_to_ci") on login.  So far so good!

integrate_login passes parameters to my PHP routine, including $username, $hash_password, and $cookieTime.

I get the $username and $cookieTime, but the $hash_password is empty.

But that's easy to fix - if I declare

   global $scripturl, $user_info, $user_settings;

in my routine, I can get the hash password from $user_settings.

The question is - what is the correct way for me to use a $hash_password - one that's been encrypted? Am I supposed to decrypt it? (Is that even possible?)

Thanks in advance for any info!

To provide a bit more info, I'm wondering how I can log a user onto my CI app (or register them if they've just registered on my SMF board), if I only have their password in an encrypted format?

Great to see that you're making progress! :)

QuoteI get the $username and $cookieTime, but the $hash_password is empty.

Are you using ssi_login?  If so, you will probably want to use $_REQUEST['passwrd'] in your login_to_ci.

Quotein my routine, I can get the hash password from $user_settings.

The question is - what is the correct way for me to use a $hash_password - one that's been encrypted? Am I supposed to decrypt it? (Is that even possible?)

You can't decrypt it.  Encryption is a one-way street.

Something you can count on is this:  The integrate_login hook is called AFTER SMF has already validated the user.  This means that the person has entered correct information as far as SMF is concerned.  So, you can just read the data from your CMS and log the user into that automatically.

That's great advice. Thanks, Orstio!

I've got most of my site integration with SMF done, thanks in large part to you, Orstio! I really appreciate your advice.

I have a question about the "integrate_register" hook.  If email validation is required to complete registration for SMF, does SMF call the "integrate_register" hook before, or after, email validation has taken place?  If it takes place before, is there a way my app can find out, if email validation has been received by SMF? (Perhaps by a MySQL query?)

Thanks in advance for any info.

QuoteI have a question about the "integrate_register" hook.  If email validation is required to complete registration for SMF, does SMF call the "integrate_register" hook before, or after, email validation has taken place?

Before.

QuoteIf it takes place before, is there a way my app can find out, if email validation has been received by SMF? (Perhaps by a MySQL query?)

SMF can tell your app through the integrate_activate  (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=173483.msg1106054#msg1106054) hook.

Fantastic. Thanks!

Hello,

I have a custom game that I want to integrate registered user with SMF + TP.  Basically, what the code will need to do is check if SMF user is logged in and if it is true then it will send user's result to the database.  That's pretty much it!  Nothing too fancy than that.  What do you recommend?  Will SSI works or what?

I had somebody suggesting using global but I am not sure about that?  And I wouldn't be familiar with SMF so I am not sure it is something I want to tweak with unless you can help?

Thanks!

I really don't understand how to use these hooks. :( How do I start using them?

Quote
Typically, when creating a bridge, I have SMF "wrapped" within the context of a CMS, so the startup is done in the CMS, as a part of the component/module that displays the forum.

Eh?

That's something that I've been trying to figure out for the last couple of weeks.... :(

I've read about everything there is to read, but I'm still no further than I was when I started out..... :'(

I need to integrate SMF/TP with TNG (http://www.lythgoes.net/genealogy/software.php) but have no clue as to where to begin....or how to use the integration hooks.


EDIT:  OK....I want the user to register, sign on, and logout in SMF and automatically be signed into TNG...I went back over this thread and the integration hooks.  Let's see if this is sinking in.....

I need to create a file to define the integration hooks....is this done in the SMF or TNG directory?  Then I need to require/include the file at the beginning of SMF's index.php file??

Is this correct??

QuoteI need to create a file to define the integration hooks....is this done in the SMF or TNG directory?

The location of the file doesn't matter, as long as it is within the open_basedir restrictions of your SMF index.php.

QuoteThen I need to require/include the file at the beginning of SMF's index.php file??

That way will work.  It's not the only way, but it is a viable method.

I have SMF/TP in my root directory and TNG in a subdirectory.....Is there a better way to do this?

I was reading your "How to integrate Registration" thread.....Is this something that I have to do first?  Or can this be done with one of the integration hooks??

Thanks for your help.......

Ok... so let me get this straight, to use these hooks I have to include the index.php that has these functions defined. But if I include the index.php won't that just load up the forum.

You create a file to define the integration hooks and then you include the file in index.php....

I thought the whole point of these functions is to use SMF while not on the forum . For example I want to check if a user enters the correct login details but i don't want to log them into the forum.

The method you chose is fine.

The registration howto topic is more of a method of modifying another registration system to also register a user in SMF.  That is a completely different method of integration than using the integration hooks.

You can use SSI to do that.

Ahh...so since I'm only going one way....SMF/TP to TNG....I don't need to use the other method since the registration is being handled by SMF....right?

In TNG's registration, it requires username, real name, password, and email address and performs a validation prior to writing it to the TNG database.....real name is not a requirement on the SMF side....do I need to add that to the SMF registration??

QuoteAhh...so since I'm only going one way....SMF/TP to TNG....I don't need to use the other method since the registration is being handled by SMF....right?

Correct.

You can, or you can just use the username for both.  That's entirely up to you.

Since I'm creating the file to define the integration hooks in the SMF directory (root) and including the file in the SMF index.php.....Is there something I need to do on the TNG side??

You might want to redirect some links to SMF if TNG has its own registration and login system.

I think I'm on overload at the moment.... :)

But could you provide me an example of what types of links I would want to redirect?

Think I'm going to have to sleep on this tonight..... :)

Thanks again for your help.....

Links to a TNG registration page or login page.

I created the file for the integration hooks....but unsure where to include the file in the SMF index.php.

I know very little PHP....enough to be dangerous....looks like I'm going to have to pull out the books for this project....

You'll probably want it right after this:

// Load the settings...
require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/Settings.php');

Thanks, Orstio....at least you got me started.  Do you have an example that I can be use as a guideline?

This may be a dumb question.....but how does TNG recognize the integration hooks if they are defined in a file in my SMF directory and included in the SMF index.php?  In order to use the integration functions....doesn't the file have to be included or required in TNG??  So, that both SMF and TNG are aware of the hooks.....

It's been a good 15 years since I've done any programming....so, I'm a little rusty....:)

Since the user is already validated in SMF, I would be just checking the database and passing the variables in the integrate login function so that TNG can process the login.

Now I think you're starting to see something more.  ;)

Read this topic, it might give you some ideas:

http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=217821.0

OK....Let's see if I understand what you're trying to tell me....:)

Within the integrate login function....I need to create an output buffer....require the TNG file/script that processes the login??....then replace/pass the smf variables to the TNG variables.....

Am I anywhere close....:)

Sorry, I didn't mean to confuse you so badly.   :-[

No, you are absolutely wrong.

I was under the assumption you wanted to be able to login to TNG, and that would also log you into SMF, which doesn't seem to be what you're after.

QuoteSince the user is already validated in SMF, I would be just checking the database and passing the variables in the integrate login function so that TNG can process the login.

That statement is not quite correct.  It should read:  Since the user is already validated in SMF, you would be be processing the TNG login in the integrate_login function.

OK....so now I'm confused....which seems to be my normal state nowadays....   ;)

So, I'm back to the question....how does TNG know about the integration hooks.....so far it seems to be one sided....

For what you are trying to accomplish, it does not need to know.

OK....it seems like I need to reverse my way of thinking.....instead of SMF and TNG fighting over the steering wheel....SMF is the driver and TNG is the passenger.....therefore, TNG would not need to know....

With that being said....think I'll try some things tomorrow....

OK...I was so confused that I took a break and went back to square one... ;)

Working on integrate_login....both systems have their own registration and login procedures, as well as their own admin panels, etc.  I want to use SMF/TP as the main site with TNG running as an application with the users signing on to SMF and being automatically logged into TNG.

With the integrate_login function, the membername, password, and cookietime is used.  Since SMF uses SHA1 and TNG uses MD5....How do I compare the two passwords?

You don't need to compare them.

By the time the integrate_login function is triggered, the user is already authenticated in SMF.  This is the authentic user, because they have already passed the SMF authentication.

So, you don't need to do another check in TNG to see if it is the authentic user, because the user has already been authenticated.  You can just set the cookie for TNG.

OK....where am I going wrong in my line of thinking.....

I don't need to authenticate the user like you said....but I do need to set the session variables that sets the TNG permissions for the user and also set the logged in session variable showing that the user is signed into TNG.  TNG performs a behind the scenes checklogin on every page that looks for these session variables.  If the session variables are not set, then TNG is going to send you to a login screen and process the login.....

Since it appears that with integrate_login...I'm bypassing TNG's processlogin which logs the user in to TNG and sets the cookie....I manually need to set the cookie in integrate_login??

Correct.

Hmm.....that's going to be quite a bit of coding....better hit the books and get going..... :)

Hi,

Please help me.

In my template login.php, I have already defined the startup hooks then included SMF_Path/index.php but it doesn't work out...

e.g.

Template: Login.php
define('SMF_INTEGRATION_SETTINGS', serialize(array(
   'integrate_change_email' => 'integrate_change_email',
   'integrate_reset_pass' => 'integrate_reset_pass',
   'integrate_exit' => 'ig_smf_exit',
   'integrate_logout' => 'integrate_logout',
   'integrate_outgoing_email' => 'integrate_outgoing_email',
   'integrate_login' => 'integrate_login',
   'integrate_validate_login' => 'integrate_validate_login',
   'integrate_redirect' => 'integrate_redirect',
   'integrate_delete_member' => 'integrate_delete_member',
   'integrate_register' => 'integrate_register',
   'integrate_pre_load' => 'integrate_pre_load'
)));

require_once(integration.php);
require_once(SMF_PATH/index.php);

Am I on the right track?

Thanks

Where is this Login.php?  Is it part of a CMS?

What is integration.php?  What's in it?

Are you just trying to integrate logins?  What it looks like you have done is included the entire forum, not just the login.

Hi,

"Where is this Login.php?  Is it part of a CMS?"
Yes, Login.php is part of the CMS

"What is integration.php?  What's in it?"
The integration functions.

"Are you just trying to integrate logins?  What it looks like you have done is included the entire forum, not just the login."
I'm trying to integrate logins and registration.

What I'm trying to accomplish here to integrate SMF in my CMS with a single sign in.

Thanks in advance

I think you are approaching this backwards.

The SMF integration hooks use SMF functions to accomplish CMS tasks.

I think what you are trying to do is use your CMS login to login to SMF?  That cannot be accomplished with this method.

The hook method uses SMF's login to log you into the CMS.

Btw, I'm using CMS login form not SMF ssi_login.

Thanks again.

Hi Orstio,

I'm very much thankful for your immediate reply...
I think it's more clearer now.

Thanks

Hi Orstio,

Last question. I have put SMF login to my CMS but how could I redirect it back to my CMS after login.

Thanks

You mean you have put the ssi_login() on your CMS?  You redirect that by putting the URL in the function call:

ssi_login('URL');

But, that is not going to log you into your CMS.

Hi Orstio,

Here's what I did.

In my CMS/login.php

require_once('SSI.php');

ssi_login();

In which the action method points to SMF/index.php?action=login2

I was able to do a single sign-in in this approach.

My problem is. If I used my CMS/login.php, how can I redirect it back to my CMS/user_home.php?


Thanks

ssi_login('URL to CMS/user_home.php');

Hi,

In ssi_logout(CMS/home.php) is working as expected but in ssi_login(CMS/user_home) it does work. What could possibly cause this?

Thanks

ssi_login(CMS/user_home) it does not work.

You might have to set $_SESSION['login_url'] to the value before the login form.

Here is my code in login.php
{php}
   ssi_login('http://CMS/user_home.php'); 
{/php}

Base on the content of ssi_login function if you pass an argument it would set a $_SESSION['login_url']..

Sorry, Im little lost in your login because when my action points SMF/index.php?action=login2 after this I am rediredted to SMF/index.php?action=login2&sa=check...

and in SMF/index.php?action=login2&sa=check... the $_SESSION['login_url'] is not set anymore

Right.  So, you will probably have to change your code to this:

  $_SESSION['login_url'] = 'http://CMS/';
ssi_login('http://CMS/user_home.php');

"$_SESSION['login_url'] = 'http://CMS/';
ssi_login('http://CMS/user_home.php'); "

This does not work either.

After clicking the submit SMF/index.php?action=login2 the $_SESSION['login_url'] has a value of http://CMS/user_home.php

but

after redirected to this link SMF/index.php?action=login2%3bsa=check%3bmember=14 the $_SESSION['login_url']  is empty.

What is your setting in SMF for database driven sessions?

I'm sorry I'm the one who set up this SMF. May I ask if where could find it? So, that I could tell you.

Thanks

In your SMF admin panel, Server Settings.

Could you just give me the variable name from the smf_settings co'z I don't know what is the password of the admin.

Thank you very much

Is the forum even on the same domain as the CMS?

yeah

The forum and CMS are in the same domain

Hello,

I'm using the 'integrate_change_member_data' hook like this:
'integrate_change_member_data' => 'updateprofile'

The function is:

function updateprofile(){
print_r($var);
print_r($data);
die();
}

After editing the profile, I have only a blank page and no information was sent, why?


Same problem with 'integrate_login': $user_settings is not returned



Thank you for your help.

Try this:

function updateprofile($memberNames, $var, $data){
print_r($var);
print_r($data);
die();
}

Thanks, Orstio, it works! But if I change the password, it is not sent so it's impossible to change it in my script.. Is there another way?

The password change is sent with the integrate_reset_pass  (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=173483.0#post_integrate_reset_pass) hook.

Sorry, I didn't see this hook! Thanks!

Hi there,

I've been trawling this forum, including the integration hooks guide and this comments thread and everything seems to be biased towards SMF being the most important thing on the server, ie. you use SMF's user system and everything else has to revolve around it!

I want SMF to be a small component of a system, an extra service for our users where, if they login to their account on our system they can also seamlessly access the forum.  It's a complex and established system and switching over to using SMF's user management just isn't an option.

Has anybody got any simple examples of a setup like this that they would be willing to share?  ...where an existing system is the source of user information and authentication.

I'm sure it must be possible to create some sort of generic wrapper script that could be configured to work with any existing users system in this way, and I will be more than happy to share with the SMF community any solution that I manage to get working!

I, like many others it seems, just can't seem to get my head around where to start!  The documentation would really benefit from a collection of simplified real-world examples.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Regards

Simon

Are there also hooks available to retrieve all posts from a topic?

Integration hooks are for including outside functionality in the workflow of SMFat certain key events.

To retrieve posts, you should use SSI.php.  No hooks necessary.

Is it possible to set Session variables in the integrate_login hook?

What I currently have is an area of my website that is built around phpbb2.  The usernames and passwords etc... are registered in phpbb.  When someone logs in my own code compares the username, password and active status of the account, sets a few different session variables and calls a phpbb function to set up the phpbb stuff.  The user is then sent to the menu which they can do loads of stuff in, just one of them being a link to the actual forums.

I'm wanting to replace phpbb with smf.  I've been playing with the integrate_login hook, by having a login page that uses the ssi_login() function giving the url of the main menu.  I've then tried putting different things into my integrate_login() function, but havn't found a way of getting the required data set.

Am I doing this the right way?  Is there another way?  Can I set up the sessions this way?  If not what's the best work around?

Many thanks

Phil

Hi Phil,

I'm going to need more information in order to help you.

Where are you putting the integrate_login function?

Where have you defined the integration hooks?

I'm trying to register users from my own website. The problem is that I've been trying to use these hooks, but dont know why, I couldn`t make them work. Could you explain me the file structure please?

Thanks, Jesus

PS: Sorry For My English xD

The hooks are for including outside code into SMF's workflow, not the other way around.

Hi Orstio

I have a file called PhilTest.php which just has the define('SMF_INTEGRATION_SETTINGS',serialize .... bit of code which I copy and pasted from somewhere, and includes the line 'integrate_login' => 'integrate_login',

I also have the function integrate_login($username,$password,$cookietime) in that file, and it is in that function that I am trying to set the session variables.

I have amended the index.php file to include the PhilTest.php file right after the Settings.php have been included.

I then have another file the includes SSI.php and uses the ssi_login() function with a URL as the parameter.  When I go to this file I get text boxes for username and password.  When I fill them in and click the button, I'm presented with the script at the URL I specified in the ssi_login() and am logged into smf, but the session variables I set in the integrate_login function aren't set.

I've tried echo'ing out some text in the integrate_login function, which can be seen briefly before it is redirected to the other URL.

Does that make sense?  Am I being totally stupid!?! :(

Many thanks

Phil

Yep, makes perfect sense.

If you echo $context['sess_id'] on your PhilTest page, and also on your forum, are they the same value both before and after login?

I've tried to echo $context['sess_id'] in a number of places, but each time I'm getting a null string returned, which to me suggests I'm missing something!

Here are my files:
pjmlog.php

<?php
require('SSI.php');
$_SESSION['login_url'] = 'http://forums.mysite.com/';
ssi_login('http://forums.mysite.com/phil.php'); 
echo($context['sess_id']) ;
?>
PhilTest.php:
<?php
define('SMF_INTEGRATION_SETTINGS', serialize(array(
'integrate_change_email' => 'integrate_change_email',
'integrate_reset_pass' => 'integrate_reset_pass',
'integrate_exit' => 'ig_smf_exit',
'integrate_logout' => 'integrate_logout',
'integrate_outgoing_email' => 'integrate_outgoing_email',
'integrate_login' => 'integrate_login',
'integrate_validate_login' => 'integrate_validate_login',
'integrate_redirect' => 'integrate_redirect',
'integrate_delete_member' => 'integrate_delete_member',
'integrate_register' => 'integrate_register',
'integrate_pre_load' => 'integrate_pre_load'
)));

function integrate_login($username, $password, $cookietime)
{
global $pjmun, $db ;
$pjmun = "pjm" ;
$_SESSION["pjm"] = $pjmun ;
echo("HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH<br><br>") ;
echo($context['sess_id']) ;
echo("<br><br>HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH") ;
}
?>
phil.php
phil.php:
<?php
session_start(); 
global $pjmun ;
echo("UN: '" . $_SESSION["pjm"] . "'<br><br>") ;
echo($context['sess_id']) ;
?>
And the index.php is now like this:
// Load the settings...
require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/Settings.php');
require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/PhilTest.php');

Phil

Make it global first.  ;)

How/where do I do that?

I've tried adding global $context ; to the top (nearly top anyway) of the pjmlog.php file, the integrate_login() function in PhilTest.php and the phil.php file, with the same restult as before.

Phil

Heh, sorry, my mistake. It should be $context['session_id'] . :-[

That's better!  I've managed to get it working now.  Spotted something in another thread.  I've added a require('SSI.php'); into my phil.php, and can now see the $user_info array, and can set up my sessions there.

Thanks for your help.

Phil

My question is regarding the 'integrate_change_member_data' hook specifically.

The documentation around this function states that the variables are sent as arrays, but I've noted in practice that the only variable sent consistently as an array is memberNames

under what circumstances would arrays be passed for $vars and $data?

Upon further examination of the 'updateMemberData' function in Subs.php
if (!empty($memberNames))
foreach ($vars_to_integrate as $var)
call_user_func($modSettings['integrate_change_member_data'], $memberNames, $var, stripslashes($data[$var]));

I believe that only members will be passed as an array, and that the variable & data will need to be set for all members passed in the members array.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

You are correct.  I just looked through the same code myself.  ;)

I've updated the post to reflect the correction.  Thank you. :)

Im an struggling to understand the documentation given for this. I have now read thru all the posts on this topic twice in hope to understand, and on the 2nd read thru i managed to understand how to include these hooks (by editing the core index.php for smf.. which i thought was the reason for these hooks where not to edit the core files?)

I tried for some time to get the login hooks to work, but shortly found out, after quite a lot of fiddling, that the session data is wiped, and i can not think of a way to get my application to login (as their is no id or username returned after SMF login and redirect)
*the only ways ive thought, are insecure ways*

Here is a bit of what i have currently...
define('SMF_INTEGRATION_SETTINGS', serialize(array(

'integrate_login' => 'wwc_integrate_login',
'integrate_change_email' => 'integrate_change_email',
'integrate_reset_pass' => 'integrate_reset_pass',
'integrate_exit' => 'ig_smf_exit',
'integrate_logout' => 'wwc_integrate_logout',
'integrate_outgoing_email' => 'integrate_outgoing_email',
'integrate_validate_login' => 'wwc_integrate_validate_login',
'integrate_verify_user' => 'wwc_integrate_verify_user',
'integrate_redirect' => 'wwc_integrate_redirect',
'integrate_delete_member' => 'integrate_delete_member',
'integrate_register' => 'integrate_register',
'integrate_pre_load' => 'integrate_pre_load'
)));


function wwc_integrate_login($username, $password, $cookietime)
{
global $wwctemp;

$wwctemp = "login";
}

function wwc_integrate_redirect($setLocation, $refresh)
{
global $wwctemp;

switch($wwctemp)
{
case 'login':
header("Location: /selector.php");
die();
break;
case 'logout':
header("Location: /index.php");
die();
break;
}
}

function wwc_integrate_logout()
{
global $wwctemp;

$wwctemp = "logout";
}

As you can see, i had to try flag the page which was sending the form, to know which redirect to do (this took some probing also), is this the correct way of doing so? (because this seems to be clearing the session data, such as if i added $_SESSION['data'] = '123', that would not be set once it goes to "/selector.php" at login...

article/help/tutorials for these hooks are near impossible (apart from the ones listed on the forum, which i already said, had difficulty following at all), why is that?

Thank you in advance for any help

Quoteand on the 2nd read thru i managed to understand how to include these hooks (by editing the core index.php for smf.. which i thought was the reason for these hooks where not to edit the core files?)

You could just put the code you've posted above in a file that includes SMF's index.php, instead of editing SMF's index.php.

QuoteI tried for some time to get the login hooks to work, but shortly found out, after quite a lot of fiddling, that the session data is wiped, and i can not think of a way to get my application to login (as their is no id or username returned after SMF login and redirect)

All that info is pased to the integrate_login hook.  You need to put your login code for your other application in the wwc_integrate_login function.

Nope, that does not seem to work

Edited integrate login hook
function wwc_integrate_login($username, $password, $cookietime)
{
global $wwctemp;
$_SESSION['call'] = true;
$wwctemp = "login";
print "logging in...";
}

As you see, session data is saved, so once the redirect is done the only values the session holds are "PHPSESSID" and "SMFCookie304".

Are you including SSI.php in selector.php?

No because that is the logged in page.

Unless im misunderstanding the use of the SSI functions (note: ive tested login using SSI and from forum login box to see if there was any difference)

*edit*

ah i see i had another re-read thru the source, and im guessing there is some kinda or reconstruction code in there for the session... run into another problem now, but might not be due to this. thanks

I'm not suggesting that you use any of the SSI functions.

By setting $_SESSION['call'] in the integrate_login hook, you are putting it into the SMF session.  If you include SSI.php in selector.php, the SMF session will be started, and $_SESSION['call'] should then be accessible.

Yeah i kinda figured that out *see my edit* after you mentioned having ssi on the logged in page (kinda obvious really if there is some custom session handler in there some where...just have to add this to a few more pages now to get them working)

Sorry for this so newbie question, but i'm lost in this hook things.

I'm trying to make a login page in my site to use SMF validation login procedures. I tried to use SSI and it works if the credentials are correct, but when I get an error it jumps to the login error page of SMF and I want to do it in my login page.

I red the hook docs but I not sure if I can use it and how.

I have to create my login fuction but I should use     
integrate_validate_login or not?

I'm lost...

Any help would be great.

PS - I will also need to make a custom registration form... :( I'm doomed...

You'll have to wait for SMF 2.0 for that.

QuoteI have to create my login fuction but I should use

integrate_validate_login happens before SMF validates the login.  integrate_login happens after.

What I usually use integrate_validate_login for is to check to see if a user exists in SMF, and if not, to write the user into SMF from a CMS before SMF tries to validate.

Thanks Orsio

But how do you use it?
You have your custom Login page with user and pass.

The user tries to login in your page with a set of credentials, then you call integrate_validate_login with that set of credentials and if false you display an error message?

Can you give me a short example?

Thanks

Does the custom login page pass the credentials to SMF, or to some other script?

Orstio the idea is to pass them to SMF.

Is similar to SSI_login but I need to dealt with the errors (bans and so on) in my page.

A value of false returned from integrate_validate_login means nothing to SMF.  It will continue its own login process as normal.  If you want a redirect to an error message at that point, you need to do that in the integrate_validate_login function.

Ok Orstio. Seeming a little dumb.

So I need to change the integrate_validate_login to provide error codes correct?

So can you give me an "How to" use this?

I still can understand how to do it.

I'm assuming that I have a php with the html code to login, I submit the form and them call modified integrate_validate_login and act accordingly to the error codes, correct?

QuoteI'm assuming that I have a php with the html code to login, I submit the form and them call modified integrate_validate_login and act accordingly to the error codes, correct?

The integrate_validate_login function is called automatically whenever anyone attempts to login.

uhm... automatically?

How?

(once more sorry for seem so dumb)

SMF is really smart.   ;)

SMF calls all of the hook functions automatically.  All you need to do is create the function, and define it in the SMF_INTEGRATION_SETTINGS.  SMF takes care of the rest.

Well SMF is, but I don't...

After trying to understand this I was unable to do it.
It seems that I want use a SSI version of the login but custom made and not to authenticate to SMF and my site .

Actually what I want is to use SMF database and make a custom made login page.

I'm driving myself beserk trying to understand this...

Well

I'm ding this:

//define the integration functions
define('SMF_INTEGRATION_SETTINGS', serialize(array(
   'integrate_change_email' => 'change_email_function',
   'integrate_change_member_data' => 'change_member_data_function',
   'integrate_reset_pass' => 'reset_pass_function',
   'integrate_exit' => 'exit_function',

   'integrate_whos_online' => 'whos_online_function',
)));


if($_REQUEST['do']== "login") {
  integrate_validate_login($_REQUEST['user'],$_REQUEST['passwrd'],'-1');
}


And.. error

This part of your code is completely useless:

if($_REQUEST['do']== "login") {  integrate_validate_login($_REQUEST['user'],$_REQUEST['passwrd'],'-1');}

What you want to do is this:

//define the integration functionsdefine('SMF_INTEGRATION_SETTINGS', serialize(array(   'integrate_change_email' => 'change_email_function',
   'integrate_change_member_data' => 'change_member_data_function',

   'integrate_register' => 'register_function',
   'integrate_pre_load' => 'pre_load_function',
   'integrate_whos_online' => 'whos_online_function',)));

function validate_login_function ($user, $password, $cookietime){

      // Check if the user already exists in SMF.

//OK, so if no user in SMF,  does this user exist in the integrated software?  Better check.

//If there is a result, let's write this one into SMF....

}


Hi Orstio,

I have a doubt. I have the following code in integrate.php. This file is included in index.php and all works perfectly. I want to verify that a user exists in smf_table. If user exists all is ok. If not exists, I want to verify that the user exists in another own database if exists, I insert that user in smf_members table. If not exist the user must to register in SMF. That's my idea.



<?php
//define the integration functions
define('SMF_INTEGRATION_SETTINGS', serialize(array(
   //'integrate_pre_include' => 'integrate.php',
   'integrate_change_email' => 'change_email_function',
   'integrate_change_member_data' => 'change_member_data_function',
   'integrate_reset_pass' => 'reset_pass_function',
   'integrate_exit' => 'exit_function',
   'integrate_logout' => 'logout_function',
   'integrate_outgoing_email' => 'outgoing_email_function',
   'integrate_login' => 'login_function',
   'integrate_validate_login' => 'validate_login_function',
   'integrate_redirect' => 'redirect_function',
   'integrate_delete_member' => 'delete_member_function',
   'integrate_register' => 'register_function',
   'integrate_pre_load' => 'pre_load_function',
   'integrate_whos_online' => 'whos_online_function',
)));

function validate_login_function ($user, $password, $cookieTime)
   {
   
           //echo "$user<br />";
      //echo "$password<br />";
      //echo "$cookieTime";
      
      //database connection.
      $link = mysql_connect('server', 'user', 'password');
      $db_selected = mysql_select_db('database', $link);
      //      
      
      
      //Does the user exist in smf_members table?
      $query = "select * from smf_members where member_name='$user';";
      $result = mysql_query($query);
         
      
      if (mysql_num_rows($result)==0)       
      {//if
                       //The user does not exist. I must to verify that exist in another database      

                        //If I suppose that the user exists in the another database, I insert the user in smf_members table.
         $query="insert into smf_members(member_name,id_group,passwd,email_address) values('$user',0,'$password','$user')";
         $result = mysql_query($query);         
      }//if
            
               
            
   }


?>

Well, the insert was sucesfully but the user must to relogin to take effect the login. For example, I'm a user that not exist in smf_members but yes in the other database ... and then I make the insert to the smf_members, the insert is ok but the user must to write again his/her password to log in into the system ...

Why? I've hope explained clearly.

Sorry for my English and Thanks.

Alvaro.

WHen the user attempts the login, do they get the message "Password security has recently been updated.  Please login again." ?

Nope,

Only if the function return true or "retry". If I dont return a value (like this case) o return false, the user goes to the homepage again when he/she try to log in to the system ...

Thanks

QuoteExample of use:  A user that exists in the integrated application but not in SMF is attempting to login, so needs to ber migrated to SMF before SMF has a chance to authenticate.  Something to keep in mind here is that SMF can authenticate with many other types of hashes, so the hashed passwords of other systems can typically be written directly to the SMF members table, with the hook returning 'retry', which will automatically invoke SMF to rewrite to its own hash on the second login attempt.

When writing in a foreign password hash, you should make the function return "retry".

Hi Orstio,

If I write a return "retry", when the user is inserted in the smf_members, the $password hash is empty, and I can see a message like that:

"Password security has recently been updated.  Please login again." 

Is it normal?

In the second attempt, must I update the register of that user to actually the $password?

Thanks for all.

Yes

Yes to all no?

Thanks Orstio,

All was perfectly...

Now a user sends his/her password and username of the other database, the system says that "Password security has recently been updated.", but in the second attempt, the user can enter into the system!!!

Thanks for all amigo.

Ciao.

Orstio,

Following your recommendation, i used integrate_verify_user hook to log users into SMF when they logged in to my main site. Everything worked fine till my host Cirtex moved to PHP5 and Apache 2. Seems that although i am able to see session variables that i am passing into the function , the function is not returning $ID_MEMBER

Could this be because Apache 2 doesnt like 'global $db_name, $db_prefix, $sql, $userdata;' ?
I am using SMF 1.1.4, PHP5 and Apache 2
When i was using SMF1.1.4, PHP4 and Apache 1 things were working !

Code i am using (index.php) . This bridges from PHPMotion to SMF

Thank you for all your help
Henry

Are you trying to include SMF's index.php from inside the integrate_verify_user hook?

Yes. I have renamed it as index.inc.php


# Include the original index.php
   include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/smf/index.inc.php");

This was actually working like a charm till a few days back when my host did all these updates ! Seems session data is getting lost once my index.php (in which the integrate_verify_user hook is called) calls this index.inc.php (which is essentially SMF's index.php file).

The hooks are called from SMF, so if you call SMF from the hooks as well, you end up with an endless loop.

Hi Ortiso,

Wonderd If You Could Help Me Ive Been Trying This All Nyt And I Cant Seem To Make It Work, I Have My Site In The Root And SMF In Forum Folder, I Dont Reli Understand How To Use These Functions

For Example On My Account-signup.php


// check if email addy is already in use
  $a = (@mysql_fetch_row(@mysql_query("select count(*) from users where email='$email'"))) or die(mysql_error());
  if ($a[0] != 0)
    $message = "The e-mail address $email is already in use.";

   //check username isnt in use
  $a = (@mysql_fetch_row(@mysql_query("select count(*) from users where username='$wantusername'"))) or die(mysql_error());
  if ($a[0] != 0)
    $message = "The username $wantusername is already in use.";

  $secret = mksecret(); //generate secret field

  $wantpassword = md5($wantpassword);//md5 hash the password
}
if ($message != "")
show_error_msg("Signup Failed", $message,1);

  if ($message == "") {

if ($site_config["CONFIRMEMAIL"]){//req confirm email true/false
$status = "pending";
}else{
$status = "confirmed";
}

//make first member admin
if ($numsitemembers == '0')
$signupclass = '7';
else
$signupclass = '1';

   $ret = mysql_query("INSERT INTO users (username, password, secret, email, status, added, age, country, gender, client, stylesheet, language, class) VALUES (" .
  implode(",", array_map("sqlesc", array($wantusername, $wantpassword, $secret, $email, $status, get_date_time(), $age, $country, $gender, $client, $site_config["default_theme"], $site_config["default_language"], $signupclass))).")");

    $id = mysql_insert_id();

    integrate_register();

    $psecret = md5($secret);
    $thishost = $_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"];
    $thisdomain = preg_replace('/^www\./is', "", $thishost);

If You Could Jus Point Me In Right Direction Ill Be Grateful Thanks!

No.

The SMF integration hook functions are called from SMF.  You do not ever need to add a line like this:

    integrate_register();


THat is already done in SMF.

What you are trying to do has nothing at all to do with the integration hooks.

So What Would I Put To Insert The Data From This Signup Page Into SMF Database Aswell, My Files Are In Root And SMF Is In /forum folder.

I Seen The SSI Functions About The Recent News And There Was Easy To Do, Is Their Any Easy Ones I Could To Make My Users Signed Up At Mysite n forum n loggedin at same time

What you want is something more like this:

Hello, thanks a lot for your helpfull documentation!

I'm working on Integrate SMF in an CMS I'm working with (and which hadn't any Bridge yet).

I've just wrapped it into CMS-Content, but smf didn't seem to call my integration function. Here is my code:

... defining db-Objekt and Stuff...

//define the integration functions
define('SMF_INTEGRATION_SETTINGS', serialize(array(
        'integrate_verify_user' => 'verify_user',
)));

require ($SmfPfad . '/index.php');
echo "blubb";

function verify_user(){
         echo "bla";
         $db -> select_db($smfDatenbank);
         $IdString ="SELECT ID_MEMBER FROM smf_members WHERE memberName=".$_SESSION["UserLogin"];
         $IdErgebnis = $db -> sql ($IdString);
         $IDa = mysql_fetch_array($IdErgebnis, MYSQL_ASSOC);
         $ID = $IDa['ID_MEMBER'];
         $db -> select_db($dbDatenbank);
         return $ID;
}

so I see the forum and my first echo, but didn't see my second echo neither a user got logged in. Could you please help me, where my mistake is?

thanks in advance,
acid

Missing global?

//define the integration functions

function verify_user(){
         global $db;
         echo "bla";
         $db -> select_db($smfDatenbank);
         $IdString ="SELECT ID_MEMBER FROM smf_members WHERE memberName='".$_SESSION["UserLogin"]."'";
         $IdErgebnis = $db -> sql ($IdString);

}

Oh yeah, I allways forget those ', thnx ;)

Oh! I've got it! thnx!  :D

Finally, with all my courage, i post this thread after reading bunch and bunch of posts...

At fist, i read your Guide. It's totally no-starting point for people who just start using SMF. You does not point out of how, and which file to include, what to do, how the SMF can identify a file call smf.php which it never included.

So here's my questions: (I assume there's 2 party, which called CMS and SMF)

1/ How does SMF find out the hook file without actually modify a single line of code (require, include) !! -> I really don't understand how this work!!!!!
2/ Where to place the hook file? is it include in the CMS or in the SMF folder?
3/ For example, i dont want people to register, login, logout at SMF, but on CMS. is there a way to write the hook to SMF without modify SMF code and modify CMS code? (Just on the hook file itself)

Afterward, please, please stick this to your "A guide to the SMF integration hooks" so that people can find out where to start writing his/her hook because i see that there are too many people looking for what im looking for right now and i bet you dont want to repeat yourself for more than 10 times for 10 people. "DRY". Thank you!

Quote1/ How does SMF find out the hook file without actually modify a single line of code (require, include) !! -> I really don't understand how this work!!!!!

There are several ways to accomplish this.  From a CMS, it is usually easiest to have the hook file include SMF's index.php.

Quote2/ Where to place the hook file? is it include in the CMS or in the SMF folder?

You can put it wherever you want it.

Quote3/ For example, i dont want people to register, login, logout at SMF, but on CMS.

Then the integration hooks are not what you are looking for.  The integration hooks are part of the normal SMF workflow.  If you want to use your CMS workflow, then you need to create something for your CMS to read/write from SMF.  The integration hooks allow SMF to read/write from other systems.

Quote

Can you be more specific? What are the way you talk about.

He's talking about something like
require_once('SMFPath/index.php');
Which will process everything SMF does and output the page.

Having a look at existing bridges/integrators might help you :).

require_once('SMFPath/index.php'); => in smf.php?

i though it must be

require_once('SMFPath/smf.php'); => in index.php?

because if we require it like the fist, how can SMF know the functions and hook call from SMF.php...

for example, the index.php link all the files for login, blah blah, when we access index.php?do=login, how can SMF i dentify the smf.php that it's linked 1 way to index.php?

require_once('SMFPath/index.php');  cause the hook to show the index.php.

Quoterequire_once('SMFPath/index.php'); => in smf.php?

Correct.

Quotei though it must be

require_once('SMFPath/smf.php'); => in index.php?

Incorrect.  That would require changing SMF's index.php.

Quotebecause if we require it like the fist, how can SMF know the functions and hook call from SMF.php...

You set up the SMF_INTEGRATION_SETTINGS in smf.php before you include SMF's index.php.  THat way SMF knows which functions to call.

Quotefor example, the index.php link all the files for login, blah blah, when we access index.php?do=login, how can SMF i dentify the smf.php that it's linked 1 way to index.php?

Your smf.php contains all the hook functions.  Because those functions are already declared before SMF is included, SMF can easily find them.

so how do we call the function? login in SMF.php or normal login in index.php?
(smf.php?action=login) or (index.php?action=login)

base on my understanding:

we have SMF.php for the hook, and index.php for the index

SMF.php <---------- index.php (index.php included in SMF.php)

index.php <------------ other functions php file

which mean that index.php does not have anything to identify the SMF.php

how can they call/know the functions exist on SMF.php?

Here is your workflow:

Smf.php contains the integration array, and the hook functions.  It also includes SMF's index.php:

define('SMF_INTEGRATION_SETTINGS',....));

function hook1($variable,$variable){

     //code
}

include_once('/path/to/smf/index.php');


The integration functions are then "predefined", so SMF can use them in the workflow whenenver it needs to.

echo "ok!";
?>

for the sake of testing, i have the file smf.php located at: /home/sandbox/public_html/smf.php
and index at: /home/sandbox/public_html/smf/index.php

trying to login at SMF to see the output of the function. However, the content.txt is a blank file afterward.

im trying to get the explanation, afterward i will write a topic guide to start base on my experience. ^_^

You need to try to login at the URL of /home/sandbox/public_html/smf.php . 

Hi Orstio, I read the guide to the "A guide to the SMF integration hooks" and I really like these hook functions. Thanks a lot for the great work!

I am new to SMF and I am trying to integrate SMF into my CMS. All my users have their uniq logins and passwords, and there is a link provided to them to SMF forum. When the user click the link, he will be redirect to SMF page and will be automatically logged in as their existing login/password.

After reading your "A guide to the SMF integration hooks" and lots of posts in this thread. I think integrate_verify_user is the right function I need to implement. Is that right?

I first just hard coded the function return a specific member_id, the auto-login part works fine. But logout does not. I tried to use some global variable $loggedIn, set it to false in integrate_logout, and SMF just keep logged in. Could you point out where I did wrong?

integrate_logout is called from SMF's logout function.  Are you saying that logging out of MF does not work?

I am "greenhand". "reedforum" is a charter version of "greenhand" LOL

Here is the outline of my code:

define('SMF_INTEGRATION_SETTINGS', serialize(array(
'integrate_logout' => 'integrate_logout',
        'integrate_verify_user' => 'integrate_verify_user'
)));

$loggedIn = true;
include ($smf_dir . "index.php");

function integrate_verify_user()
{
    global $loggedIn;
    if ($loggedIn == true)
        return 2;
    else
        return 0;
}

function integrate_logout()
{
    global $loggedIn;
    $loggedIn = false;
}



For simplicity, I hard coded return 2 and 0 from integrate_verify_user.

I can see the SMF automatically logged as member_id 2. But I can not logged out. Clicking "logout" button does not have any effect. I tried to print out the $loggedIn, it is always "true" in integrate_verify_user.

I must have missed something.

This is done at the beginning of every page load:

$loggedIn = true;

It doesn't matter what you do in integrate_logout, because the page gets loaded again, and that line is read before SMF is loaded.

So what should I do in this scenario?

        'integrate_verify_user' => 'integrate_verify_user'
)));

session_start();

if (!isset($_SESSION['loggedIn']))
     $_SESSION['loggedIn']=true;

include ($smf_dir . "index.php");

function integrate_verify_user()
{
    if ($_SESSION['loggedIn']==true)
        return 2;
    else
        return 0;
}

function integrate_logout()
{
    $_SESSION['loggedIn'] = false;
}


Orstio, thanks for your previous answers. Now I have another question.

User will input his login and password in smf's login page, and it need to authenticate the user against the existing CMS's database. If it is a valid user in the CMS database, I would like it automatically logged in SMF.

I am trying to use "integrate_validate_login" but as you mentioned in the guide, it is impossible to have the un-hashed password.

Am I using the correct function? What should I do here?

integrate_validate_login is more for just checking to see if the user exists in a system outside of SMF, and then migrating that user to SMF if it doesn't. 

What you are looking for is a combination of the integrate_validate_login and integrate_login hooks.

In the integrate_validate_login hook, you'll want to migrate the user from your CMS to SMF, and then return the value "retry".

When the user attempts to login the second time, they will be logged in, and SMF will update the password with its own hash.

In this case, the user is actually authenticated in the SMF. What I am looking for is authenticate every user against the CMS database. Keeping and using user credentials in two databases could be a potential maintenance problem.

I am looking for some like this:
    1. user input login password in SMF's login name

    2. authenticate the user against CMS's database
    3. if user does not exist in SMF's members table, insert a new row for it (without password, because will never use it to authenticate user)
    4. return the id_member and logged in SMF as the user.

Is it possible to implement in existing hook functions? 

QuoteWhat I am looking for is authenticate every user against the CMS database. Keeping and using user credentials in two databases could be a potential maintenance problem.

SMF still needs to keep its own record in its own database table.  There is no way around this short of rewriting most of SMF's authentication and security checks.

Hi Orstio,

I've been looking through your tutorials all the way in this forum. And they are great tutorials. Thank you.
Confusing in the beginning but after following others member post, I can managed to make login from my CMS and sucessfully auto login in SMF too.
But, I got trouble to logout from my CMS and auto logout from SMF too.
The error is "Session verification failed. Please try logging out and back in again, and then try again.".
For "Logout" link I tried to use ssi_logout("http://CMS/index.php") in my CMS menu.
Other method, I set session for $context["session_id"] variable in integrate_login function and I put a "Logout" link with "http://CMS/SMF/index.php?action=logout;sesc=".$context["session_id"]
Both ways didnt work, always got the above error message.

Below are the script of my smf_integrate php:
/*-- Define SMF Integratin Settings --*/
define('SMF_INTEGRATION_SETTINGS', serialize(array(
   'integrate_change_email' => 'integrate_change_email',
   'integrate_reset_pass' => 'integrate_reset_pass',
   'integrate_exit' => 'integrate_exit',
   'integrate_logout' => 'integrate_logout',
   'integrate_outgoing_email' => 'integrate_outgoing_email',
   'integrate_login' => 'integrate_login',
   'integrate_validate_login' => 'integrate_validate_login',
   'integrate_redirect' => 'integrate_redirect',
   'integrate_delete_member' => 'integrate_delete_member',
   'integrate_register' => 'integrate_register',
   'integrate_pre_load' => 'integrate_pre_load'
)));

function integrate_validate_login($username, $password, $cookietime)
{
   global $db_config, $password, $sess, $ng_config, $context;

   $dblink = mysql_connect($ng_config['db_server'], $ng_config['db_user'], $ng_config['db_pass']) or
      die("Could not connect: " . mysql_error());
   mysql_select_db($ng_config['db_name'], $dblink);

   $sql = "SELECT * FROM ".$ng_config['db_name'].".ng_user WHERE user_name = '".$username."' AND passw = '".$password."'";
   $rs = mysql_query($sql, $dblink);
   $row = mysql_fetch_array($rs, MYSQL_ASSOC);
   $num_rows = mysql_num_rows($rs);
   if ($num_rows > 0) {
      /*-- Set sessions --*/
      $sess->set('session_UserID', trim($row["id"]));
      $sess->set('session_Username', trim($row["user_name"]));
      $sess->set('smf_session_id', $context['session_id']);
        } else {
             header("Location: ".$ng_config['ng_url_login']);
        }
   mysql_select_db($ng_config['smf_db_name'], $dblink);
}

function integrate_logout($username)
{
   global $sess;
   $sess->drop();
}

function integrate_redirect(&$setLocation, $refresh)
{
   global $ng_config;
   $setLocation = $ng_config['ng_url_redirect'];
   $refresh = true;
   
   return true;
}

For login form I use form that is generated from ssi_login() below:
<form action="http://CMS/SMF/index.php?action=login2" method="post" accept-charset="ISO-8859-1">
  <table class="ssi_table" width="200" height="50" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
    <tr>
      <td width="140"><input id="user" name="user" type="text" class="style6"></td>
      <td width="60" rowspan="2"><a href=# onclick="document.forms[0].submit();"><input type="image" src="images/bt_login.jpg" name="Submit" d="submit"  width="41" height="41" border="0"></a></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td><input type="password" name="passwrd" id="passwrd" type="text" class="style6"></td>
    </tr>
    <input name="cookielength" value="-1" type="hidden">
  </table>
</form>

in SMF/index.php after:
// Load the settings...
require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/Settings.php');

I put below line:
// SMF integration hook...
require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/smf_integrate.php');


My questions are:
1. How to get the exact "sesc" value that I can pass to "Logout" link?
2. As you can see in integrate_validate_login above, if the username is not in my CMS user table then to go back to my login url, i must use "header" function, is there any better way to do this? Because if I just return "false" or "retry" in that function, then it shows SMF login page instead of my CMS login page.

Thank you very much for your kindly help...

To get the right value for $sesc, you need to do this after including SSI.php:

$sc = &$context['session_id'];
$_SESSION['USER_AGENT'] = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];

The value in $sc is what you are after.

Thank you Orstio, now it works like a charm.
But for my second question, if user type wrong login name and/or passw, then it shows SMF login page, it should show my CMS login page again. Currently I use header() function in "integrate_validate_login" to move back to my CMS login page again
Is there any other way instead of using header() function?

I can't think of a better way just off hand.  That is a very clever method of doing it.  ;)

Wonderd If You Could Help Mate.

I have the signup workin great when they signup on my site they get put into the smfs database aswell but when i try to login it says Security has just been updated then i retry and it says incorrect password what am i doing wrong here his my file

And Also I Have Alot Of Members On My Site And I Was Wondering If Their Is A Way I Could Use This Somehow To Import Them All Over??

This has nothing to do with the integration hooks, but I'll help you out anyway. ;)

Is $wantpassword hashed in any way?  (MD5, SHA1, etc.?)

okai cheers and its md5  ;)

Is it salted, or just a straight MD5?

str8 md5

Please have enough respect for the English language to type out real words.

Is this SMF 1.1.x, or 2.0.x?

Sorry And Yes Mate Its 1.1.8

If you check the value in your SMF database for a password that was migrated in this way, does it match the MD5 in your other user table, or is it a different hash?

its different

That'll be the problem, then.

You'll probably want to echo $wantpassword to find out what value it is getting, and compare to the value entered in the database.

i did and below is what i got

Then the variable $wantpassword is a raw text string, not a MD5 hash.

What you'll want to do is this:

nope that didnt work mate it says incorrect password  :(

Here's your problem:

function createUser($wantusername, $email, $wantpassword){

createUser($id, $wantusername, $email, $wantpassword);

You are telling the createUser function that:

$id -> $wantusername
$wantusername -> $email
$email -> $wantpassword
$wantpassword -> null

The order of your variables needs to match.  There is absolutely no use for the $id variable in the function call.

ah yes lol i was gna see if i could make them have same id in both my site and forum to make life easier when deleting a user

i will test this

nope it still says incorrect password. i have recongized that the smf password field in database is same size as if i signup on the main website.

but when i use the same password on my site its same as where ive used it before lol im confused, wouldnt it jus be easier for me to replace the smfs hashing with same as myn??

What is myn?

What does your code in both files look like now?

here are the two files....


<?php
function createUser($wantusername, $email, $wantpassword){

    $regOptions = array(

        'username' => $wantusername, 
        'email' => $email,  
        'password' => sha1(strtolower($wantusername) . un_htmlspecialchars($wantpassword)),
        'password_check' => sha1(strtolower($wantusername) . un_htmlspecialchars($wantpassword)),

what i meant by above was i installed smf and it made my account and i created a user on my site with the same password and the hash was the same as the my passwords hash for the admin account.

any ideas anyone??

AFTER changing the code, did you delete the user in BOTH SMF and your system, and try registering again?

yep i tried after i changed it if u not busy try it your self

http://www.madhous3.co.uk (http://www.madhous3.co.uk)

and the forum

http://www.madhous3.co.uk/forum/ (http://www.madhous3.co.uk/forum/)

i tried resetting the password via smf and that worked i could login afterwards...

so that means on my site if i had activation on i could try and combine it to send both but if ive noticed not everyone uses a proper email address so that would be a bad idea lmao

Change your code in the first file above to this:

<?php
function createUser($wantusername, $email, $wantpassword){

global $db_name, $db_prefix, $sourcedir, $boarddir;

require_once ("forum/SSI.php");

echo $wantpassword;
exit;

         // Set the options needed for registration.
    $regOptions = array(


When you try to register a user, copy the result from the page, and paste it in a post here.

Alright.  Then that answers the question that I had in this post:

That'll be the problem, then.

You'll probably want to echo $wantpassword to find out what value it is getting, and compare to the value entered in the database.

Except for the fact that it is a different answer than you gave me the first time.

You're going to have to use this:

'password' => $wantpassword,
        'password_check' => $wantpassword,

Unless you have some way of passing the unhashed password to the createUser function instead.

erm...

the first time i echod i had the regoptions aswell thats probly why...

is their a way i can nick smfs hashing system?? and replace my md5 parts with the smf parts e.g

account-recover, account-login, account-signup

You can write your MD5 hash directly to SMF.  SMF won't have any problem with your MD5 hash.

how do u mean?

could u show me a little example maybe?

You already have an example.  Your code is putting a MD5 hash into $wantpassword before passing it to createUser().

Perhaps you are confused about the chain of events we've gone through?

You had the wrong values being passed to createUser(), as per this post:

Quote from: Orstio on February 25, 2009, 07:22:54 PM
Here's your problem:

Code Select Expand

function createUser($wantusername, $email, $wantpassword){

Code Select Expand

createUser($id, $wantusername, $email, $wantpassword);

You are telling the createUser function that:

$id -> $wantusername
$wantusername -> $email
$email -> $wantpassword
$wantpassword -> null

The order of your variables needs to match.  There is absolutely no use for the $id variable in the function call.

That was what was causing you the problem in the first place.  Your password was always wrong because you were putting the email address in the password field.

Now that has been fixed, and now we know that the MD5 hash is actually being passed to the createUser function, you can just write that MD5 hash to the SMF password field, and all will work as expected.

do u mean

password = '$wantpassword = md5($wantpassword);'
passwordcheck = '$wantpassword = md5($wantpassword);'

Your code already does that before it passes $wantpassword to createUser().  If you do it again, you will get the wrong hash.

still incorrect password lol

<?php
function createUser($wantusername, $email, $wantpassword){

global $db_name, $db_prefix, $sourcedir, $boarddir;

require_once ("forum/SSI.php");

         // Set the options needed for registration.
    $regOptions = array(
        'interface' => 'guest',
        'username' => $wantusername, 
        'email' => $email,  
        'password' => $wantpassword,
        'password_check' => $wantpassword,
        'check_reserved_name' => false,  
        'check_password_strength' => false,
        'check_email_ban' => true,  
        'send_welcome_email' => false,  
        'require' => 'nothing',
        'extra_register_vars' => array(),
        'theme_vars' => array(),
    );
    
    if (isset($_POST['default_options']))
        $_POST['options'] = isset($_POST['options']) ? $_POST['options'] + $_POST['default_options'] : $_POST['default_options'];
    $regOptions['theme_vars'] = isset($_POST['options']) && is_array($_POST['options']) ? $_POST['options'] : array();

    require_once($sourcedir . '/Subs-Members.php');  
    $memberID = registerMember($regOptions);  


    mysql_select_db($config["db_database"]);
}



?>


Make sure you delete the user from both systems before attempting to register and login.  This code will not work retroactively on already-existing users.

yeh i had to make the passwords plain

so i jus moved it up the page and renamed $wantpassword = md5($wantpassword); to $md5 lmao cheers i ant been on in ages coz i been looking at login and logout i dint understand it could u help plz m8

Orstio I am completely lost with how to get my CMS integrated with SMF.

Could you tell me which file goes where and which code goes in the files.

I use MODx CMS that has its own login system and authentication and I would like to some how allow my users to sign in to the CMS and SMF with one sign in.  I simply want to work on the login part for now to get my head round how this works.

I have read for days and still don't understand how it all works.  Where should the integrate.php file be, do I need SSI or smf_api.php to get it working etc...

I'm have SMF 2.0 rc1.1 installed.  I just can't seem to grasp how it all works so a little help would be great.

Thanks.

I think MODx already has an integration: http://modxcms.com/extras.html?view=package/view&package=419
