not a hack request per say. but an idea. IE vbulletin developers please read this..
 
I know I know, posted in the general chat forum on vbulletin.com as well. but I cant resist and if it gets poo pooed as a regular vbulletin spec then atleast maybe a hack can come out of it...


wsdl
or web Web Services Description Language
taken from whatis.com
Quote:


The Web Services Description Language (WSDL) is an XML-based language used to describe the services a business offers and to provide a way for individuals and other businesses to access those services electronically. WSDL is the cornerstone of the Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI) initiative spearheaded by Microsoft, IBM, and Ariba. UDDI is an XML-based registry for businesses worldwide, which enables businesses to list themselves and their services on the Internet. WSDL is the language used to do this.

WSDL is derived from Microsoft's Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) and IBM's Network Accessible Service Specification Language (NASSL). WSDL replaces both NASSL and SOAP as the means of expressing business services in the UDDI registry.

if I am reading this correctly, the direct application for vbulletin is the idea that communities can share their user information in a secure manner. IE creating mega communities. Multiple forums linking their registration information. Sort of a forum based version of usenet?

debunk it please before I go mad with excitement...

In specifics what is needed would be SAML
read on my bb brothas


Quote:

SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) is an Extensible Markup Language (XML) standard that allows a user to log on once for affiliated but separate Web sites. SAML is designed for business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) transactions.

SAML specifies three components: assertions, protocol, and binding. There are three assertions: authentication, attribute, and authorization. Authentication assertion validates the user's identity. Attribute assertion contains specific information about the user. And authorization assertion identifies what the user is authorized to do.

Protocol defines how SAML asks for and receives assertions. Binding defines how SAML message exchanges are mapped to Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) exchanges. SAML works with multiple protocols including Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), File Transfer Protocol (FTP) and also supports SOAP, BizTalk, and Electronic Business XML (ebXML). The Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS) is the standards group for SAML.

driving to work today I was thinking bout this... saml will work in theory but wsdl I am iffy on.

So the question was posed. How do you share the thread table across the internet without opening the dbase to remote requests...

here is my solutions
xml
finger

2 forums in this example

forum a
forum b

forum a shares forum "foo" with forum b
user on forum b signs on to the foo forum
forum b send a finger (modified for this purpose) to forum a. forum a checks the thread table for any modified data since the last finger from forum b. forum a compiles new thread information into an xml datagram with the needed information back to forum b. The data is pushed to forum b.

add to that frequent replication using smtp and you have a winnner
