Hi all
As promised i am giving solution to web site integration today.Cool

To integrate your current ASP.net application with YAF, so that you login only once in your ASP.net application and it automatically logins you to YAF also. Its simple as 123 but the only bad thing is you have two users table and you have to make updates to both tables. If anyone else has done the same thing in some other easy way do let me konw
Just follow the steps
i. Add a <machineKey> tag in your application's web.config and same <machineKey> in Yaf's web.config i.e. Replace $$ with your validationKey and decryptionKey
Code:
<system.web>
<machineKey validationKey="$$" decryptionKey="$$" validation="SHA1" />
    </system.web>

ii. Use your applications login page and onclick event of your login button add following code. dont forget to rename your textboxes to corelate with the code or vice versa
Code:

Dim sPassword As String = FormsAuthentication.HashPasswordForStoringInConfigFile(Password.Text, "md5")
        Dim userID As Object = yaf.DB.user_login(1, UserName.Text, sPassword)

        If Not userID Is DBNull.Value Then
            Dim idName As String = String.Format("{0};{1};{2}", userID, 1, UserName.Text)

            If (Request.QueryString("ReturnUrl") <> Nothing) Then
                FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(idName, True)
            Else
                FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(idName, True)
                'yaf.Forum.
                Response.Write("authen")
            End If
        Else
            'AddLoadMessage(GetText("password_error"))
        End If


Thats all you need. use your login page to login and then go to default.aspx or any page on YAF Forum. you will be already logged in and authentication ticked/sessoin is shared.Evil or Very Mad

The quickreply already has that code. You're welcome to adapt that to the other sections of the site.

Hi this works a treat.. but I now have an issue in my main application...

my main app uses the standard ASP.NET login controls... so now when users log in to main migh site it says someithing like;

Welcome Back 19;1;UserName it now includes the users id and borad id in the name.. is there a way to strip them out??
ive tried to find how YAF handles the display of the user name but I guess its all in the .dll file that i cant get at??

if anyone has any thoughts I would be very grateful.

thx
jj

I am running yaf 1.9.1 rc1 in a subfolder that is setup as an application. When I try this method of integration, it seems yaf is trying to use the web.config in my root and not the web.config in /forum/ as I get the following error message. Any help would be greatly appreciated =)
