I want to build a website where users can register and have access to my whole site. I will then make it that under this log in, the user can access the forum, blog (comment on), question & answer section (like yahoo answers), the photo gallery (upload, view, comment and vote on images and be in the newsletter database. How can I learn how to do this? If I am using myBB, Wordpress and similar scripts for all these features, what programming language do i need to know? I would appreciate your help and if you have any useful links, please post them here. Edit: would this be of any help to me? Prasi - project website Edit2: found another link: http://www.evolt.org/PHP-Login-System-with-Admin-Features do you think I will be able to link this to myBB, wordpress etc?
if I get right you, you want a user could access the whole system (forum,blog etc.) with the same username and password. You would use phpBB, myBB etc. as forum, wordpress as blog etc.. All these free systems are based on PHP. So you must learn PHP. The first solution I have now can be use the same users table in mysql db. So, the whole systems' user data stored in the same table. And you can set this table in config files of the phpBB, wordpress etc.
I did this using vbulletin and a custom script made by me, i share users and permissions from vbulletin on my custom script you can checkout the link in my footer. also for vbulletin there is a modification which makes a bridge between vbulletin(forum) and wordpress(blog) and you can share permissions and users and whatever else, so you may take a look into that
