Linking Links SQL users to Forum users..
Hi,
is there a mod or plug in to let our already registered Links SQL users use the forum without resigning up..

(I mean shared users database)

Hi,

We are hoping to have Gossamer Community done by the end of the month. This will provide central user database for all our products, and an easy api for other products to integrate with it.

Cheers,

Alex

Can you give a few details on how that will be implemented? For instance, will the Forum be able to integrate with seperate MySQL databases and share the same login info?

You can do that with plugins.

I should probably know this,

but what is an API?

Here's a definition from whatis.com for ya:
Quote:
An application program interface (API - and sometimes spelled application programming interface) is the specific method prescribed by a computer operating system or by an application program by which a programmer writing an application program can make requests of the operating system or another application.

An API can be contrasted with a graphical user interface or a command interface (both of which are direct user interfaces) as interfaces to an operating system or a program.
Just a standard way to connect our products together...

Which plug-in can do that? Or, are you saying that a plug-in could be written that could do that?

To clarify, I have link_db set up for Links, and I would like to share the Users Table with a completely seperate database so that the when a username and password is created in one database, it is automatically created in the others.
