Sharing Login Credentails / Cookie

[pkellner]

I have another php app (wordpress) that will host all my users. It also has the shopping cart so that user database is important.

When a wordpress user is created, I'd like to also create the forums user with the same password. I can intercept the usercreation in php to do this.

Also, when a user logs into wordpress, I'd like to write the cookie for vbulletin so that the user is automatically logged into vbulletin as well.

I called presales at VBulletin and their answer to my question about complexity of doing this was that "it is possible". I asked for a little more detail since I can't look at the code itself until after I buy it. Their answer was a suggestion to post on this forum and the quote below.

If anyone has a little better answer than the below, I'd really apprecaite it. I'm a little worried that any question I ask later may be answered with "sorry, that is out of scope for our support department".

As for the 'complexity', I have never before been asked this question in 9 years of doing support for vB and I have really no idea how complex this would be. In the end this depends on your level of knowledge and skill with PHP and MySQL coding.
