Hi everyone,
This is the first time I use PHP, so it's very exciting + somewhat
confusing at the same time. Currently I have a board runs on
SimpleMachineForum software with 10000+ members and I want to use SMF's
authentication system for the project Im working on (reasons: well, the
current project is kinda like a plugin for the current board and I dont
want have 10000+ members re-register again or have to re-login when
they switch between the 2 applications.
Actually SMF made it very easy to integrate, all I have to do is:
<?php
require_once('/path/SSI.php');
// Then I can call
$is_guest = $context['user']['is_guest']; // return true if the user
has not logged in
$is_admin = $context['user']['is_admin']; // return true if the user is
admin
// etc......
?>
However,I dont know what would be a good way to integrate it into my
Cake application? Should I use the simpleAuthentication and make some
small changes like this:
<?php
class UsersController extends AppController {
function login()
{
// Just some example, wouldnt really work
// Should I include an external file like this?
require_once('/path/SSI.php');
if(!$context['user']['is_guest'])
{
// set some user info here
$this->data['User']['username'] =
$context['user']['name'];
// etc
//sets up the session vars
$this->rdSimpleAuth->set($this->data['User']);
}
}
}
Thank you very much for helping this noob *_*
