Glacier Custom Solutions
Specifically, this was done to integrate it with a Yii Framework project, but this approach could seemingly be done with about any environment I would think. The idea is based on this thread. https://community.mybb.com/thread-118971.html using Seeker's approach, although it was modified due to database connection variable collisions with Yii and perhaps some minor updates done from older versions of MyBB at the time.
Basically what's happening is links in the existing site to the forum will go to a forumAutoLogin controller that returns the following view. Some of that code should probably be in the controller, but for the simplicity to implement, I stuck it all in the view.
Code: Select all
<?php
use vendor\glacierparkchat\managers\MyBBManager;
if(!Yii::$app->user->isGuest) // checks if user is logged in to existing system already or not.
{
$myBBMan = new MyBBManager();
$user = $myBBMan->findMyBBUserByLoggedInUser(); // Gets the MyBB user info based on the already logged in user
// Modify path here for your needs:
//require_once './global.php';
define('IN_MYBB', 1);
define("TIME_NOW", time());
define("COMMUNITY", "./../../../web/community/");
$settings = array();
if(file_exists(COMMUNITY."inc/settings.php"))
{
require_once COMMUNITY."inc/settings.php";
}
require_once COMMUNITY."inc/functions.php";
require_once COMMUNITY."inc/class_session.php";
require_once COMMUNITY."inc/class_core.php";
$session = new session;
global $mybb;
$mybb = new MyBB;
$mybb->user = $user;
$mybb->settings = $settings;
$session->init();
$mybb->session = &$session;
my_setcookie('loginattempts', 1);
my_setcookie("mybbuser", $user['uid']."_".$user['loginkey'], null, true);
my_setcookie("sid", $session->sid, -1, true);
//$plugins->run_hooks("member_do_login_end"); // Don't know what this does...seems to work without it
}
// using metta refresh below feels rudimentary, but also platform agnostic

return $user;
}

?>Once in place, I modified the MyBB login and register links in the header_welcomeblock_guest theme template to point to the existing systems login and register controllers.
Code: Select all
<span class="welcome">{$lang->welcome_guest} <a href="/site/user/login?return=/site/user/forumautologin" class="login">{$lang->welcome_login}</a> <a href="/site/user/register" class="register">{$lang->welcome_register}</a></span>Presumably, no one should directly login or register via the MyBB user now, though that might need a little more tightening up perhaps, but the auto logging in does seem to work.
