User Authintcation
Before I install the phpwebgallery I was wondering is there away to reconfigure the authication for my users. Meaning this I have an authication script that makes my membes log on before they can access any of the pages on my site. Also I use phpBB2 community board and that is being intergrated with my authication script so my members only have to have one user name and password instead of having multiple user names and passwords on my site.
Is going to possible with the phpwebgallery to allow my users to keep their current username for the gallery or will they have to create a new one for this feature as well.
My site is ran with a mysql database and user info is stored on the database.

Re: User Authintcation
possible : YES, it is
easily : depends on your level !
I have no time now to developp that, but it's perfectly possible since :
1. users table of phpBB2 has username and password fields
2. passwords of phpBB2 are crypted with md5 (not really crypted in fact)
What you have to do is :
- to add a field in users table of PhpWebGallery "external_user_id"
- running a script wich create as many users in phpwebgallery_users table than in phpbb_users table (with the correct "external_user_id"
- to change the authentification process in identification.php fo going search username and password in phpbb2 table and not in phpwebgallery_users table
- same thing in ./include/user.inc.php
Good luck.

Re: User Authintcation
Thanks as far as experiance level I am very experianced in programming in languages such as c++ and visual basic, .Net. Im just learning PhP but it really not to much diffrent then programming in c++. I am new to database driven web sites but as long as I can fine where to change the required stuff (which you supplied already) I should figure it out. The only really help I might need is finding locations of files to change the syntax I should figure out anyways thanks for your help i let you know if I have any problems
