Here's an idea, if you really need both apps and both sessions...
0) Add a column to phpbb user table which stores the CF-app's user table's ID (say, RealUserID) 1) Make the phpbb login form page redirect you to a CF login page for your regular site 2) log in there, and redirect to phpbb/CrossSiteLogin.php 3) you should have cfid and cftoken on all requests now, so just make CrossSiteLogin.php do a CFHTTP-like request (in php) using cfid and cftoken, to your website, calling GetUserID.cfm (which just spits out #session.userid#) and then set it automatically in the php session.... The only thing we're missing is some sort of session stickiness. I guess you can embed an img src=image.cfm in your php templates to keep the cf session alive while on phpbb.... ----------------- -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Small [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 21, 2006 3:31 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: A very specific ""message board/forum"" question... > I just started using PHPbb on one of my sites and I am quite impressed > with it.

Are you currently doing any of this? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:233035 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
