What kind of things would one need to consider when porting FUDforum to another system, e.g., a CMS?
I assume the most vital thing would be having fud look at the session information of the cms rather than of fud. I become confused when I think of how a user would modify their forum information. I am sure there are other concerns.
Any thoughts on this?

Well, single-signon is they key part of the integration, you also must choose one app to be the "primary", let's say the CMS. Then disable any forum functionality that may end up modifying data supplied from the primary data source.

Thanks. I am looking at index.php to start and I seems like a larger project than I was expecting. Can you drop a few hints as to how this might be done? Perhaps there are some tutorials or other such documention on this that isn't showing up in google for me?

Well, CSS and header all are contained without header.tmpl, so you can simply strip those out. But bare in mind that FUDforum layout depends on CSS, so you'll probably need to port @ least some parts of the forum.css.tmpl back in.

This is a pain in the arse... I did find a few things that I might use as a temporary work-around. forum_login.php and fudapi.inc.php. However, fudapi doesn't have methods for creating accounts. I would much rather have fud check the session of the cms for a valid logon or something. Then the next issue would be to create accounts within fud database for new cms users, or to change fud to look at the user table of the cms and simply add all the extra stuff that is missing from the cms by default, e.g., IM, URL, et cetera.

There is method for creating user accounts inside scripts_common.inc, found inside the include directory.

At the present time fudapi script fudapi.inc.php does not offer user delete/update function. These are available from scripts_common.inc (update) or usersinc.t (which gets compiled into include/theme/default/users.inc) via add_user() and sync_user() methods.
I will probably add functions to FUDAPI to implement those two in the near future.

(one clue, index.php is a compiled file, so you probably want to start at index.php.t).
