I'm curious why not? I originally authored that recipe (actually AuthUserDbase) specifically to tie into PHP/MySQL-based bulletin boards (e.g. PunBB). So, it seems that that recipe should work for you. I know there was a plan to improve the AuthUserDbase but I've lost track of that effort.[1] > I've written a script (based on AuthUserBBPress) which queries my database > and returns true/false on user, pswd challenge.

That sounds like the identical functionality of AuthUserDB.[2] > Do I need something on my Site.AuthUser page to tell AuthUser how to call > my script, snitzauth.php? What you'll need to do is link your authentication interface to AuthUser. I wish I could explain in greater detail how to do that, but I can't right now. If you look at scripts/authuser.php, you will see how Patrick adds authentication functions. There is a stub for MySQL-based authentication. AuthUserDbase should also point the way to tie in the MySQL database to AuthUserDbase. Might I suggest instead our working together to identify problems with AuthUserDbase and fixing them? -- Ben Wilson "Words are the only thing which will last forever" Churchill [1]: http://pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/AuthUserDbase [2]: id. _______________________________________________ pmwiki-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users
