PAS and SMF- ProArcadeScript Forum

Hi there,

Due to a forum need and with the user simplicity in mind i wrote i little code that
will insert the same username and password and other user informations in PAS and SMF forum
in the same time. This is let's say BETA ( i've tried it on my server and worked ).

Requirements:

PAS and SMF must use the same database ( but with different table prefixes ) and the same database username and password ( all this is to simplify the script ).

download the attached files ( signup.php and register.php ) - with these file an user can create his account on PAS and SMF in the same time ( with the same user and password ).
I recommend the use of this script on new installations so that the users id in the databases will be the same for PAS and SMF.
note: to ensure that no users is slicker and registers only on forums it is recommended that you disable the user registration in SMF Wink

note: put the files in the root directory of PAS ( SMF doesn't matter where is installed, mine was in PAS root directory under /forum/ )
note: i changed a little the way PAS works on user login -
initial user login in PAS is done by email and password but for more simplicity for users
i changed that by a standard user / password login:

so here are the changes in userhome.php:
- around 224 line there is

Code:

$bOK = EmailValid( $sLogin ) && PasswordValid( $sPassword );

-change it to

Code:

$bOK = NameValid( $sLogin ) && PasswordValid( $sPassword );

- around 230 line there is

Code:

$res = $db->super_query( "SELECT * FROM ".$cMain['dbPrefix']."users WHERE email=\"$sLogin\" AND password=\"".md5($sPassword)."\" LIMIT 1" );

-change it to

Code:

$res = $db->super_query( "SELECT * FROM ".$cMain['dbPrefix']."users WHERE username=\"$sLogin\" AND password=\"".md5($sPassword)."\" LIMIT 1" );

changed a little the toys theme to make register account to point to our new files Wink

-navigate to templates/Toys and open user_login.html and on line 14 replace

Code:

Don't have an account yet? Create one <a href="!SITEROOT!user/register/">

with

Code:

Don't have an account yet? Create one <a href="!SITEROOT!signup.php">

note: if you use the MY FAVOURITES block also you need to change the link there.
you can do it by opening block_needaccount.html an on line 5 replace:

Code:

Don't have an account yet? <a href="!SITEROOT!user/register/">

with

Code:

Don't have an account yet? <a href="!SITEROOT!signup.php">

to add a someway to go back to main PAS page and start playing again i changed the SMF theme to include the link in the header part ( in the login / welcome ) part
so ... in SMF directory ( in my case is /forum/ ) go to Themes/default/Languages and open index.english.php and on line 155 replace:

Code:

$txt['welcome_guest'] = 'Welcome, ' . $txt[28] . '. Please <a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=login">login</a> or <a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=register">register</a>.';

with

Code:

$txt['welcome_guest'] = 'Welcome, ' . $txt[28] . '. Please <a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=login">login</a> / <a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=register">register</a> or go <a href="../">play</a>.';

in this way when a guest user hits the forum page it will see a the go play link Wink

now go one level upper ( /forum/Themes/default ) and open index.template.php and on line 236 change:

Code:

<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=unreadreplies">', $txt['show_unread_replies'], '</a> ';

with

Code:

<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=unreadreplies">', $txt['show_unread_replies'], '</a>

and add a new line under the above line:

Code:

<a href="../">Go back to play</a>';

in this way when a registered user hits the forum page it will have the option to go back to games Wink

note: this changes must be applied to every theme that you use for SMF.
