Probably somebody knows where to get or how to create a bridge to integrate vVulletin into Yii based web site?

  • to be able to use login/password for Yii and vBulletin authorization.

Thanks.

Make a UserIdentity class which inherits from CUserIdentity:


<?php


/**

 * UserIdentity represents the data needed to identity a user.

 * It contains the authentication method that checks if the provided

 * data can identity the user.

 */

class UserIdentity extends CUserIdentity

{

	const ERROR_CONFIRMREGISTRATION=4;

	

	private $_id;

	/**

 	* Authenticates a user.

 	* @return boolean whether authentication succeeds.

 	*/

	public function authenticate($md5=true)

	{

    	$user=User::model()->find('LOWER(username)=?',array(strtolower($this->username)));

    	if($user===null)

        	$this->errorCode=self::ERROR_USERNAME_INVALID;

    	else if((($md5)?md5($this->password):$this->password)!==$user->password)

        	$this->errorCode=self::ERROR_PASSWORD_INVALID;

    	else if($user->confirmRegistration)

        	$this->errorCode=self::ERROR_CONFIRMREGISTRATION;

    	else

    	{

        	$this->_id=$user->id;

        	$this->username=$user->username;

        	$this->errorCode=self::ERROR_NONE;

    	}

    	return !$this->errorCode;

	}


	/**

 	* @return integer the ID of the user record

 	*/

	public function getId()

	{

    	return $this->_id;

	}

}

Do your stuff in authenticate().
