zenphoto for bbPress

Hi,

I am planning to convert zenphoto into a plugin for bbPress (bbpress.org). To start this I want to know if the following is possible:

Is it possible to use bbPress's users, admins and passwords instead of zenphotos one? And if so, how?

Thx

    Sure, why not? zp_auth.php contains the auth logic, just use bbpress's functions instead and set the appropriate variable. :-)
  • I'd recommend posting a wiki article describing how this can be done. Could be a useful feature for potential users.
  • I can show you how I did it. What I did was check to see if the username posted matched the admin user/pass. if it did not I checked the database for the user, if it existed i check the make sure the passwords matched. If they matched I set the admin cookie that is set if the admin user/pass originally match. the thing is that you have to set that cookie using the admin/pass in the config file so I did something along the lines of...

    ` if (isset($_POST['login']) && isset($_POST['user']) && isset($_POST['pass'])) {

    $user = $_POST['user'];

    $pass = $_POST['pass'];

    $adminUser = zp_conf("adminuser");

    $adminPass = zp_conf("adminpass");

    $redirect = $_POST['redirect'];

    if ($user == $adminUser){

    if ($pass == $adminPass) {

    setcookie("zenphoto_auth", md5($adminUser.$adminPass), time()+5184000, $cookiepath);

    $_zp_loggedin = true;

    $_SESSION['notReallyAdmin'] = false;

    // FIXME: Breaks IIS

    if (!empty($redirect)) { header("Location: " . FULLWEBPATH . $redirect); }

    }

    } else {

    $userLogin = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM ".prefix(users)." WHERE `username` = '$user'") or die(mysql_error());

    $userExist = mysql_num_rows($userLogin);

    $password = md5($pass);

    if (($userExist) == 1){

    $userArray = mysql_fetch_array($userLogin);

    if (($password) == $userArray['password']){

    $_SESSION['notReallyAdmin'] = true;

    setcookie("zenphoto_auth", md5($adminUser.$adminPass), time()+5184000, $cookiepath);

    $_zp_loggedin = true;

    // FIXME: Breaks IIS

    if (!empty($redirect)) { header("Location: " . FULLWEBPATH . $redirect); }

    //Breaks IIS

    }

    }else{

    // Clear the cookie, just in case

    setcookie("zenphoto_auth", "", time()-368000, $cookiepath);

    $error = true;

    }`

    And you see that i have the session `$_SESSION['notReallyaAdmin']` that is set because I have more menus being worked on and I don't want the user to see those tabs. You can remove that if need be. If you need help I can probably help
