Hi all,
How to merge a forum into a pre-exisiting website? All what i mean is i took a forum(which has its own registration , sigin-in feature) and a preexisting website (which too have its registration and signin feature). Both are now hosted in the same domain and use different databases.
There are no registered users in forum yet but there are registered users in the website.
I want to remove the registration, log in features of the forum and merge it with the website registered data so that when users logs into the website they can access the forum too without signing in again in the forum.
I am trying with MyBB forum to merge it into website login details.
I have a vague idea that , i can insert user name and password into forum database manually and use cookies or sessions to remember the signin details when the forum is accessed from the website. But this again has some problems.
I would like to know your valuable suggestions and better ways in achieving a better solution for this problem.
Thank you:)
