SMF Login?

[atholon 0]

Anyone know of a good mod that allows external logins like integrating the SMF login with a main site? I have one that we made for Invision but I am not sure I want to hunt through all of the SMF code if their's already a script that does what I need.

I guess not...that must mean happy hunting for me.

I wrote something myself when writing the login system for the main site here which uses our SMF database.

 

You can do something like this:

SELECT passwd, is_activated FROM smf_members WHERE memberName = *username_here*;

 

Then you can check if the password matches and if the user is activated (after checking that the user exists of course):

if ($user['is_activated'] != 1) {
    // user is not activated
}
else if (sha1(strtolower($username) . $password) != $user['passwd']) {
    // password doesn't match
}
else {
    // everything is fine
}

Hay.... may I know what the purpose for * at your code memberName = *username_here*

You need to find the correct user. Seeing as login forms usually use the username as mean of identification you would do WHERE memberName = ?

Here is the documentation for exactly that. I've integrated my site with SMF and it was very easy.

I don't like SMF's SSI.php. I think it's poorly written, it clutters up the global namespace and it messes with the superglobals. In other words, you cannot implement it in your site, your have to implement your site in that. If you decide to move away from SMF at one point and you've based your site around SSI.php then you're screwed.
