Hello Everybody,

I have a site like:

http://mysite.com/drupal
http://mysite.com/phpbb
http://mysite.com/wordpress
http://mysite.com/kb

All of PHP scripts above run on the same box (same hosting) and same domain.

First, I want to integrate all of them (user table) to have an one-time-login, but it is too hard and will be very difficult to add plugins / add-ons or update.

So, I think some code lines / snippet (in a single file .php as class / library to include). I will insert this file into drupal, phpbb, wordpress,... to check login status. All of script will be share a session or cookies and will active user login status of itself.

I don't want to use other solutions like LDAP, OpenID because of curve.

How will I begin?

Thanks for sharing your experiences.

Well just drop Drupal and Kb and you're good to go, there's an integration plugin for phpBB+WordPress that does exactly what you need. It may be a good place to start, because the concept will remain the same in each system - check if there's a login present from one of the others, and if so add the same login to the currently active system.

That's an awful lot of applications to be running on a single site under a single login though - maybe before you go through the headache of writing an extension for each, you should examine if you really need one site running four separate entities like that.

Running Drupal and Wordpress is superfluous, generally anything one can do the other can do as well. However, Drupal has a slightly steeper learning curve and if that's what you're concerned about I'd take delayed's suggestions and drop Drupal.

Having dropped Drupal, again as Delayed's said, there are plugins for Wordpress+phpBB integration.

As for KB, which I suspect to be PHPKB ( A knowledge base script ) - you're out of luck and I would recommend just a good old fashioned Q&A forum in PHPBB as a simpler alternative.

It has a steep learning curve, but Drupal is awesome. I'm currently doing some projects with it and I am going to be switching my site business' to it soon enough.

Using both Drupal and WP is unnecessary, if you don't know how to use either, learn Drupal. If time is an issue use WP.
