I am trying to create a user in a client's extranet and create a FUD user at the same time. Then, when the user logs into the extranet and clicks on a link, they are to get logged into fud.

At the moment, if we create the user in FUD, the click to login works...the problem is creating the user when we create the user in the extranet. We can't post the same for FUD uses because we don't have the admin cookies set to do so. We have currently entered the users by doing:

$query = "insert into fud26_users (login, alias, passwd, name, email, join_date, last_read) values ('$login','$login',md5('$password'),'$name','$email','$datestamp','$datesta mp') ";
$sth=$dtools->query($dbh2,$query, 'Q1238');
$sth->finish;

#fetch the new user id
$query = "select id from fud26_users where login = '$login'";
$sth=$dtools->query($dbh2,$query);
($id)= $sth->fetchrow;
$sth->finish;

$query = "insert into fud26_group_members (user_id, group_id, group_members_opt) values ('$id','$group','3276951')";
$sth=$dtools->query($dbh2,$query);
$sth->finish;

When we try and login we get a "NO SUCH URL" error.

Please help ASAP, we were supposed to go live with this a couple of days ago. We've been struggling with it for a while.

Thanks,
Anne

Don't create a user by running the queries manually, instead use the add_user() method of the fud_user_reg class defined inside users_reg.inc.

You can find usage examples inside scripts_common.inc file.

But how can I do that without an admin cookie set?

It's an API function, it does not need any admin stuff if you call it from a PHP script of your own.

alright, I see how to add and delete a users. We also need to add them to a group with a certain set of permissions. There doesn't appear to be an include for this...there appears to be one for adding a group with members, but not adding members to an existing group. Is there a function for this? Can I enter this into the db directly?

For group permissions consult the groupmgr.php file.

There are no functions to add a user, but you can see how it's done by looking @ the code inside the file I've indicated.

I was reading this thread to see how someone can add a user to both an 'external' application and the FUDforum.

I see someone specified how to ADD a user via a class method, but how would you log this person on if they logon to the 'external' application first?

Thanks in advance,

If the external application is a web app you can use a cookie to pass the login information to the forum.

Is this explained anywhere? Attributes to send?

What about a attributes set within $_SESSION?

FUDforum uses it's own sessions mechanism, not the native PHP one. Look into the cookies.inc.t code.

Can you eloborate on this? It doesn't seem to follow from the content of cookies.inc.t.

In the meantime, there is another possible approach, just generate an invisible form and submit it using JavaScript:

<html>
<body>
<form action='/path/to/fud/index.php?t=login' method='post' name='frm'>
<?php
  echo "<input type='hidden' name='quick_login' value='" . $username . "'>";
  echo "<input type='hidden' name='quick_password' value='" . $passwd . "'>";
?>
</form>
<script language="JavaScript">
document.frm.submit();
</script>
</body>
</html>


Maybe not as clean as setting the right cookie(s), but certainly easy to understand and implement.

When you login to the forum the forum creates you a session and stores it inside a cookie. Basically if the remote application does the same thing then forum can just pickup on the created cookie and use it.
