Josh -> Username-Password-Databases (3/30/2002 18:06:44)

O.k. here's my problem. I've got Spooky login, e-classifieds, and snitz forums all integrated into my site. The problem I'm having is that they all require my users to register for a username and password. I need to keep all three, is there any way I can have my users sign up through spooky login and have the other programs recognize that username and password? Is it possible to do this without ruining or messing up the way any of these programs work?

If this is possible..where do I begin?

Thanks,
Josh




Spooky -> RE: Username-Password-Databases (3/30/2002 19:26:07)

Snitz relies on 2 valid cookies, Request.Cookies(strUniqueID & "User")("Name") and Request.Cookies(strUniqueID & "User")("Pword")

If cookies were written that matched this, then you may have a chance.
Im talking theoretically here, as I havent tried it.
Another way, may be to log on using a query that looks at the snitz database, and not the login database.
Either way, Im not thinking it will be easy

That's what I was afraid of! Well, being pretty green when it comes to computers and programming and what not, I just better leave everything be or I'll screw it up. I was hoping that I could just create a new database and pull the username/password fields from the current database and read from my new one...I could be totally off...I don't know...doesn't sound easy for sure. What do you think about having my website set up like the way it is? Would it be worth hiring someone to figure it all out for me, in your professional opinion?

acutally...couldn't you run an append/insert query from spooky login to add new users to the other user tables? It really depends on how your db's are set up. But you should be able to run it. Spooky and Snitz both use plain text to keep username and pwords. How to pass the session("username") from one to the other I haven't a clue. I'll leave that to the pros here.
