I found a module that will be extremely helpful to me with a project im working on. The problem is that its for xoops and not PN. The module is called xdirectory and is a very good yellow pages type module. I think porting the module over to PN would be a little to difficult considering the linking structures of the two different CMS's. Im thinking that maybe just running them independently, but bridging the session/cookies and user tables might be easier.
Anyone have any advice for bridging in general or even more specific if possible for briding xoops and PN.

P.S.
Postnuke's awesome permissioning system and the Xanthia engine is the reason i cant just use xoops. Its not even close as powerful.

When I wanted to do this, I wrote a little intermediate script. Whenever I wanted to send someone to the third party script, I sent them to my intermediate first. This first checked if the user was a member of the third party script, and if not added them. Then it logged them in, and forwarded them on to whatever page had been requested.

Sure, it's not very complicated. It did rely a little on the API of the other program, vwar (did it for a friend's clan site).
I'm not entirely certain this is the working version, but you get the idea
Code
<?php
require 'includes/pnAPI.php';
pnInit();
$vwar_root = "modules/vwar/";
require 'modules/vwar/includes/functions_common.php';
$dbconn =& pnDBGetConn(true);
$pntable =& pnDBGetTables();
// Get user information
$userscolumn = &$pntable['users_column'];
$userstable = $pntable['users'];
$uid = pnUserGetVar('uid');
$uname = pnUserGetVar('uname');
$query = "SELECT $userscolumn[pass]
FROM $userstable
WHERE $userscolumn[uid] = '" . pnVarPrepForStore($uid) ."'";
$result =& $dbconn->Execute($query);
if ($result->EOF) {
return false;
}
list($pass) = $result->fields;
$result->Close();
// Get a list of groups
// First load Groups API (need .760 for this)
if (!pnModAPILoad('Groups', 'user')) {
return pnVarPrepHTMLDisplay(_LOADFAILED);
}
$groups = pnModAPIFunc('Groups', 'user', 'getusergroups', array('uid' => $uid));
foreach($groups as $group)
{
// group contains an array of group id and group name
if($group['name'] == 'Administrators' OR $group['name'] == 'YM Members')
{
$ismember = 1;
}
}
if($ismember == 1)
{
// User is a member, so lets try to log them in...
$row = $vwardb->query_first("
SELECT memberid,ismember
FROM vwar".$n."_member
WHERE name = '".$uname."'
AND password = '".$pass."'
AND status <> '0'
");
if ($row['memberid'] == 1)
{
SetVWarCookie("vwarid", $row['memberid']);
SetVWarCookie("vwarpassword", $pass);
}
else
{
// They don't exist, so lets create...
$vwardb->query_first("
INSERT INTO vwar".$n."_member
SET
memberid = $uid,
name = $uname,
ismember = 1,
accessgroupid = 4,
password = $pass
");
}
}
switch($action)
{
case 'admin':
$url = 'modules.php?op=modload&name=vwar&file=admin';
break;
case 'roster':
$url = 'modules.php?op=modload&name=vwar&file=member';
break;
case 'calendar':
$url = 'modules.php?op=modload&name=vwar&file=calendar';
break;
case 'futmatch':
$url = 'modules.php?op=modload&name=vwar&file=index&action=nextaction';
break;
case 'pastmatch':
$url = 'modules.php?op=modload&name=vwar&file=index';
break;
case 'challenge':
$url = 'modules.php?op=modload&name=vwar&file=challenge';
break;
case 'stats':
$url = 'modules.php?op=modload&name=vwar&file=stats';
break;
default:
$url = 'modules.php?op=modload&name=vwar&file=index';
break;
}
pnRedirect($url);
exit;
?>

Thanks, i might actually be able to use this script for a different project for a buddy of mine. He wants to use vwar for his PN site too. -
