lemmin Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Do you mean that you want to authenticate a forum user through your own site or do you want two separate sets of users? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbronisz Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 i want to use the users from ipb for the store Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmin Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Since you're on the same web server. I would just use what the forum already has in place for authentication and then hijack the session in your own code to check for access and such.

bbronisz Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 anyway you can help me with this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmin Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I can help you if you show me what you need help with. If you don't know where to start, try creating a page with this code: session_start(); print_r($_SESSION); Login to your forum, then navigate to this new page you made. If anything prints out, you have a simple way to access all of those variables from your forum's session. If nothing is there, you will need to research more about how your forum authenticates and stores data. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 IPB has documentation regarding this task. Did you look there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmin Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 IPB has documentation regarding this task. Did you look there? Unless you are referring to the link to his website, no. Where do I find that? If you ARE referring to the link, there isn't much I can gather from the front end about data storage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough, IPB documents doing this. They should start there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
