Geeklog Forums

Hi.
I am currently using geeklog as my main portal application, but have also installed a few third party scripts (noahs classified, etc).

Is it possible for all these other scripts to be able to use my geeklog's usernames and passwords - this way the user will only have to login once instead of logging in for each application seperatly.

Thanks

Include lib-common.php in your scripts. This gives you access to all the current user's information (in the global $_USER array) as well as access to functions like SEC_inGroup to check group membership, etc.

Hi Dirk,

Thanks for the information. However, I'm not that familiar with php (starter) so what do I do then - where do I insert this file? What changes have to be made.

You help is much appreciated

Thanks

Well, some PHP (basic) knowledge would help when you want to modify PHP scripts ...

Include the lib-common.php using require_once: (add the path, if necessary). Then you have a global array named $_USER (need to declare this as global $_USER; when used within a function). If $_USER['uid'] is greater than 1, then the current user is logged in. Something like
