External Auth
morgan@7004e38d Monday 13th January 2025, 23:01:10I am trying to integrate a forum alongside a preexisting site, Flatboard seems like a pretty good candidate because the main difficulty is syncing auth stuff --
Just a general question though, does it seem feasible to short-circuit the pseudo parts and just use the preexisting auth I have (UserSpice). I am relatively adept at PHP and the goal would be skipping captcha and pseudo inputs and use the other system for it, which is easy to insert.
General thoughts welcome, don't want to waste your time you have about a billion projects going 😊

Well thank you for the response! I think the three things I'd want, and I'm not an expert on Flatboard but:
1. Hide the captchas
2. Use the username from Userspice
3. Redirect to Userspice login when need to log in
The captchas part was easy to short-circuit obviously, and maybe login is as well, just haven't had time yet. But this is the most promising forum I've come across for being able to integrate into a different auth system
