www.theretrospective.com is a site that we are launching and we love vanilla and all its features. We wanted to know if it was already out there info on how to create a single login so when our members sign up they dont need to log in again or create a vanilla account with us.
We have member login and what we would like is that when you log into the retrospective you will have automaticly been signed up to use the vanilla forum on the site. As it stands now users on our site would have to sign up for our site then sign up to use our vanilla forum. we want to cut out the middle man so to speak
Ahh, another one of these questions... At the moment, there is no such option or feature available to do this. Not without hand crafting your own script to populate all necessary rows in the DB in one deft motion. I guess that if whatever else you're running is custom that requires you to login and register, you could just plug it's login info to read from the vanilla users tables, and have Vanilla do the rest like registering your users and such. Just don't allow other programs to write to any Vanilla tables and you should be ok.
I am also looking to do the same thing. I beleive I know which tables I need to populate a row in (LUM_USER and LUM_USERROLLHISTORY). After I manually sign up a user for the vanilla forum, how can I set their login so they don't have to enter their username/pw when accessing the forum?
