Integrating ElkArte with existing users table? (Single-sign on)
March 27, 2016, 03:22:50 pm
Hello there, I couldn't any information in the Docs about this so I was hoping to get the answer here. i am evaluating which forum software to use on my existing website and ElkArte seems like great choice. However, I do not want people to reigster via ElkArte at all, and I want to use my existing user registration system in order for people to access my ElkArte forum. Is there a way to do this easily? Any guide / examples on how to implement this? I believe what I am asking for is a way to do Single-Sign On. Thanks!

Nope, Elk relies almost everywhere on the members table (for example all the JOINs all around the code). If you can't rely on the name (and from what you say you cannot at all), then... do you have a reliable id? Something that identifies a member without any doubt.

Is there a way to easily remove the Registration page and links or change where it points to?

Really nice one.. do you have a public repository @github or something similar for that addon? One suggestion: there's currently no licensing information included..
