Another integration question

Why would I(also being a regular user) be able to do it and not them? Nothing was special about my account than theirs..

Is your account set up as an administrator? (admin accounts can access everything)

Hey David, no it is not.. set to 0 along with the other two users. All 3 of us are set to active = 1 and admin = 0. It's kind of a weird problem, I just enabled login and logout from external authentication and tried to login that way, when i login with any user "I get the sorry only registered users..." error. But if I login from my website and and goto the forums I can post with any user.. If I disable external authentication module it gives me the option to reply but if the module is enabled the option to reply gives the error "sorry, only register users..."

uhm, thats all confusing. how do you login to the phorum "from your website" when the module is disabled?

Are the user ids matching between the main application and Phorum? It almost sounds like they might be not, resulting in a not logged in user in the end.

If you have the module enabled, do you see the "welcome, username" in the page showing the correct username?

I knew my user ids matched however instead of using user_id in my user table structure, I used just id, so I changed my id to user_id went back on my php pages changed it there as well and i'm going to have them see if that fixes the issue. Should.. thanks for your help guys. Let you know if that's the case.

With "matching" I mean the actual value, not the naming. But if this would fix things for you, it's fine of course.

Yea, that's is what I meant as well, that the values for each user based on id we're the same but while confirming that I saw that id from my users table and user_id from phorum_users were not the same.

Thanks in advance and i'll let you know if this was it..

Hey Thomas, I meant to answer you earlier also. In external authentication settings you can enable log on/log out register in the settings so I had turned that on to see if they could login that way.

Maurice they say it's still not working for them.. Can I give you access to my site and have you check it out to see if you see anything out of the ordinary..?

I have a couple test accounts setup and it logs everyone in fine, but when they goto reply to a topic some people can, others get sorry only registered members can post..

Also, all users who sign in from my site and goto the forum link, it says on the main forum page welcome and there username but it's when they leave the main forum page for example if they click a folder and goto a topic inside the folder instead of the reply box it says "sorry only registered users...."

just trying to give as much information as possible..
