AuthUserBbPress

Description

Authenticates users against a BBPress user database. May also work with WordPress (but I haven't tested it).

Notes

Requires MySQL access from PHP. Doesn't actually require BBPress or Wordpress to be installed, just for their databases to be accessible.

Thanks to Ben Wilson and Michael Novak the authors of, respectively, dbauth-0.2.php and AuthUserOpenId which I used as examples of how to write an authentication module.

Requirements

• MySQL php module

Installation

• Copy authbbpress.php into your cookbook/ directory.
• Modify your local/config.php to include something like:

       $BbPressAuthDb = array(
         'host' => 'localhost', # fine if your database is on the same server
         'db' => 'dbname',
         'user' => 'dbuser',
         'password' => 'dbpass',
         'table' => 'bb_users', # might need to change if you have multiple forums
         'userfield' => 'user_login', # probably don't need to change
         'pwfield' => 'user_pass' # probably don't need to change
       );
       include_once("cookbook/authbbpress.php"); // Included before the line below
       include_once("$FarmD/scripts/authuser.php"); // You may have this one already
