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
