Passing authentificator using own login

You should really read the rest of the embedding module. You are reinventing the wheel here ;-) The embedding module does some additional work (from the top of my head, this is done in the common hook) to get rid of the URI authentication after Phorum has recognized the user.

Thank you very much for your help. Just to refresh your memory: The function were you "clean that mess" as you call it, is common_pre_user. ;) But you just unset the [GET_VARS] without checking if cookies are enabled or not (by forum or by browser). Or is that done somewhere else? Shouldn't it do it when i just aks if cookies are enabled by forum AND if the browser has enabled cookies and then unset the [GETVARS} and else not?

Hope this was my last question! Thanks again for your great help.

In the module, I tell Phorum that cookies are not used by overriding the "use_cookies" setting in the common_pre hook. So any logic around "are cookies enabled?" is futile. All that Phorum sees is a user which does not use cookies, but URI authenticattion to keep track of the user session.

Well, I did this, too. But when I disable cookies in my browser im not logged in anymore because the sessionid is no longer saved in the GET_VARS.

Well, I do not know what goes wrong on your setup. I just tested a simple embedding setup with the embed module and disabled cookies. Things went just fine after that. I still was logged in as the user returned by $connector->get_user_id(). So something is going wrong in your customized code. Time to do some debugging I guess.

One thought: isn't the site which you are integrating with depending on cookies? So see if get_user_id() is really returning the user_id that you are expecting there. If you made a direct copy of my code, then it sounds like get_user_id() is return NULL instead of a valid user_id.
