I was wondering if anyone had any success in merging the user databases of WordPress 1.2.2, Coppermine 1.3.2 and SMF 1.0rc2 and have a single place for the users to log into?

I did a search and there were a lot of loose threads where people had started talking about this but then stopped so I figured I'd ask the exact question, and see what kind of response I got. If there isn't, maybe I should look into making a program/mod/hack that does integrate them and give it a single log in screen?

Thanks

Coppermine comes with a bridge file for SMF.  There is no "merging" databases, the bridge file merely directs Coppermine to get the users from SMF instead of its own database.  The bridge also forces Coppermine to use the login/logout functions from SMF.

I have no knowledge of wordpress, but if you code something to allow all three apps to use the same database, make sure you don't use the bridge file.
Do not send me a private message unless I ask for one.  Make your post public so everyone can benefit.

There are no stupid questions
But there are a LOT of inquisitive idiots
