I have a Auction/E-commerece membership system (written in PHP/Oracle). Now, I only want community features like blog, forums, member profiles, and video upload only. That's it. I already have the layout for my e-commerce site along with existed members. Now, I just want to add some social networking stuff.
My e-commerce system already has a "membership" table which contains (id, username, email, location, gender, birthday). I want it so that when users register on my e-commerce site, they will also be register in the dolphin script. I see that dolphin uses auto_increment, but I was hoping to write a script that just use a manual query "INSERT INTO...member table" where it goes into both my membership site (PHP/Oracle) and also the Dolphin member's table.
In addition, when a user logs into my e-commerce membership site, they should be able to post blog or in a forum. So, if they log into my auction/e-commerce member site, they are also automatically logged into dolphin. I'm assuming the trick to this is a matter of keeping a persistant session/cookie that will store the "ID" of my membership site and when they want to post a blog or forum, it will create illusion they're logged in Dolphin?
Ok, I may be a little confused - but can dolphin work around this integration issue?
