As promised i am giving solution to web site integration today.8)

To integrate your current ASP.net application with YAF, so that you login only once in your ASP.net application and it automatically logins you to YAF also. Its simple as 123 but the only bad thing is you have two users table and you have to make updates to both tables. If anyone else has done the same thing in some other easy way do let me konw

Just follow the steps

i. Add a tag in your application's web.config and same in Yaf's web.config i.e. Replace $$ with your validationKey and decryptionKey

<system.web>
<machineKey validationKey="$$" decryptionKey="$$" validation="SHA1" />
	</system.web>

Dim sPassword As String = FormsAuthentication.HashPasswordForStoringInConfigFile(Password.Text, "md5")
        Dim userID As Object = yaf.DB.user_login(1, UserName.Text, sPassword)

        If Not userID Is DBNull.Value Then
            Dim idName As String = String.Format("{0};{1};{2}", userID, 1, UserName.Text)

            If (Request.QueryString("ReturnUrl") <> Nothing) Then
                FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(idName, True)
            Else
                FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(idName, True)
                'yaf.Forum.
                Response.Write("authen")
            End If
        Else
            'AddLoadMessage(GetText("password_error"))
        End If

Thats all you need. use your login page to login and then go to default.aspx or any page on YAF Forum. you will be already logged in and authentication ticked/sessoin is shared.:evil:

i was wonderin is their any way we can make the Expand/Collapse with javascript, so that page dont submit everytime we expand/collapse a section.

regards

The quickreply already has that code. You're welcome to adapt that to the other sections of the site.

my main app uses the standard ASP.NET login controls... so now when users log in to main migh site it says someithing like;

Welcome Back 19;1;UserName it now includes the users id and borad id in the name.. is there a way to strip them out??

ive tried to find how YAF handles the display of the user name but I guess its all in the .dll file that i cant get at??

if anyone has any thoughts I would be very grateful.

thx
