If you use Freakuth light authentication API (FAL), you'll be able to integrate the Vanilla forum engine. If you already use Vanilla, you won't find a way here to insert your users in FAL's tables. But we'll be glad if you explain how you managed to do so in a week or two.
This integration of Vanilla needs to dip into CI, CI 1.5.1 or 1.5.2, Freakuth light authentication API and Vanilla. Check out the relative forum thread
The following steps are based on this article.
First, you will run the Vanilla installation and put all of the Vanilla tables into your existing database. In the step 3 of the Vanilla Installation Wizard, you have to set up some administrative stuff. Since we now use FAL, this admin won't be used after integration has succeeded. WARNING: if testing with a weak local mysql account with a blank password, you'll have to be sure to have this line in /conf/database.php```php $Configuration['DATABASE_PASSWORD'] = '';
#### Database Mapping
In **/conf/database.php**, add this line:```php
include FAL_integration_database.php';
Now create the FAL_integration_database.php, where we will tell Vanilla the right table and columns.
// Vanilla-FreakAuth light Integration
// Map to the FAL user table
$DatabaseTables['User'] = 'fa_user';
// Map existing and matching FAL columns
$DatabaseColumns['User']['UserID'] = 'id';
$DatabaseColumns['User']['Name'] = 'user_name';
$DatabaseColumns['User']['Password'] = 'password';
$DatabaseColumns['User']['Email'] = 'email';
// Also map the other FAL columns
$DatabaseColumns['User']['country_id'] = 'country_id';
$DatabaseColumns['User']['role'] = 'role';
$DatabaseColumns['User']['banned'] = 'banned';
$DatabaseColumns['User']['forgotten_password_code'] = 'forgotten_password_code';
$DatabaseColumns['User']['last_visit'] = 'last_visit';
$DatabaseColumns['User']['created'] = 'created';
$DatabaseColumns['User']['modified'] = 'modified';Now you have to add all of the fields from the Vanilla User table, that your fa_user table doesn't already have. VANILLA (LUM_User)

ALTER TABLE fa_user

ADD KEY `user_role` (`RoleID`),
ADD KEY `user_style` (`StyleID`),
ADD KEY `user_name` (`user_name`);Now you have to give to the FAL superadmin the settings of the Vanilla superadmin you just created.

where id=1;Eventually, you will need to write a new Authenticator class, to make Vanilla use your existing session management code.
In conf/settings.php, please add:
// FAL integration
$Configuration['AUTHENTICATION_MODULE'] = 'People/People.Class.FAL_Authenticator.php';
$Configuration['SAFE_REDIRECT'] = '../index.php/auth/';The file People.Class.FAL_Authenticator.php must be created in library/People/.

?>Visual Stuff Do as the Vanilla docs suggest: [quote]1) Copy the “Vanilla” folder within the root “themes” folder and paste it with your new name, like themes/your_new_theme_name. Once this is complete, you have a skeleton of the folder structure, images, and css required for a theme.
2) Copy the template file(s) you want to change into this new directory. Then change the file(s) as much as you want. Only copy the template files you need to alter.
note: since People.Class.FAL_Authenticator.php doesn't provide every function, you'll have to hide some links or buttons (like in menu.php, see below).
3) Finally, change the css and image files in the styles/default folder as necessary to work with your new templates.[/quote]
What I personnaly did: [quote]- override menu.php (removed the
and used '<?php $obj =& get_instance();echo $obj->load->view('my_menu', null, true); ?>' to catch the menu I use everywhere on my site)
- override head.php (hardcoded the css link because of a bug (the bug consists of the css sytle sheet path being saved in the vanilla database, in PREFIX_style. If you relocate your vanilla installation path, make sure you change this path too!) change path to favicon.ico)
- override foot.php (added my footer with the same trick than for the menu)[/quote]
Merging FAL and Vanilla accounts of existing installations is another story...
