Problems with XP publish & PunBB bridge

[Laffo]

I have my gallery bridged with PunBB, and everything else works other than this.

Originally, When I try to login with the XP wizzard, I kept getting login errors. So I took a gander at the code, and deduced this was happening because CPG wasn't hashing the password properly.

So I edited the punbb bridge file, wrote a new login() function which did the hashes the same as PunBB. My new code detects wrong user name and password correctly, but when the correct username and password is used, I just get directed back to the login page ?!

This is the function I wrote:

Code Select Expand

function login($username = null, $password = null, $remember = false)
{

if (function_exists('sha1')) // Only in PHP 4.3.0+
$pw = sha1($password);
else if (function_exists('mhash')) // Only if Mhash library is loaded
$pw = bin2hex(mhash(MHASH_SHA1, $password));
else
$pw = md5($password);

// Check for user in users table
$sql = 'SELECT id, group_id, password, save_pass FROM '.$this->db['prefix'].'users '.
'WHERE username=\''.mysql_escape_string($username).'\'';
echo $sql;

$result = cpg_db_query($sql);
if(mysql_num_rows($result) == 0)
{
echo "No Rows";
return false;
}

$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);

if($row['password'] != $pw)
{
echo "Password not equal: $pw != $db_password_hash";
return false;
}

$USER_DATA['user_id'] = $row['id'];
$USER_DATA['user_name'] = $username;

return $USER_DATA;
}

Don't login via the publisher, login with IE and then use the publisher.

Ahhh, that wasn't working before I wrote my own login(), but now it is!

Any Idea why login through the xp publish doesn't work?

thanks!

Ask Microsoft, it's them who created the Publisher.

When you login that way you authenticate yourself with Coppermine via the bridge. This works for that page but further pages expect to authenticate from a punbb cookie which doesn't get set since you don't actually login via punbb during the process.
