Can user register also at links signup-form, or do they need to register at wwwthreads?

I get this message when I install the plugin:

Authentication Error: You can only create users from the WWWThreads admin panel.



What about old user data? Are old data integrated after installing the plugin?

Actually, I haven't figured that out.

Any existing Links user should still be able to log in.

But, what if a w3t user joins, using the same ID as the existing Links user.
Will their cookies keep getting crunched??

What, if I use linksql 2 or 3 times on the server,
for example as a directory, for advertising, or maybe as a catalog. All should use the same user-directory.

It´s important that they can register at each project, switching to another place to register there, and then go back is not the best.

Unfortunately, right now that is the only way to do it. User authentication is handled differently by different servers, and only the setting server can change or access a cookie, so problems arise unless authentication is passed to a central database, which instructs the local server it's ok to set a local cookie.

As for running several copies of links on the same server, each would require a separate license, and would have to use a separate Users table/database.

I was able to centralize user log-ons under 1.1x, but haven't figured out a reliable way to do so with 2.x and w3t enabled.

Hi,

If you are using the Auth_WWWThreads plugin, you should not let users signup via Links SQL, but rather all users signup via Auth_WWWThreads. Simply edit your templates and change the link to the register form to the wwwthreads signup.

What about the user who had registered before at links, can they use wwwthread to change password?

Michael

Hi,

You mean if a user is in Links but not WWWThreads? No, you must start with a clean Links user database, or import all existing users into wwwthreads. There needs to be a "master" user table. When using Auth_WWWThreads, WWWThreads is the master user table, and Links authenticates off that.

Cheers,

Alex

Importing users to wwwthreads?
Is this possible?

Michael

I've tried with variable success. It's on my list of things to spend more time on, but ... there is only so much time in a day. I have large databases I need to sync with existing users on links, and it's been a problem.
