I've ported the current release of nForum to function with the asp.net custom membership provider. Actually the implementation I've done stores the users and nForum specific data in SharePoint which I query with the Camelot .NET Connector for SharePoint.
The default umbraco membership system is still working, but only as fallback if there is no custom provider present.
Now, would anyone be interested in this version of nForum?
Sure, there are no loose ends I'm aware of but I need to remove some customizations from the Membership system since I assume most peeps wont use SharePoint as a backend :)
I was thinking I'll create a node in Umbraco on root level with "nForum User Data", then simply using Umbraco as a backend for the nForum specific user data.
Hi Eric. Would you be kind enough to share the code? I am interested with Lee's nForum implemenation but with custom Webservices user authentication. And what you have done might be a good starting point this. If I get my head around on how to simplifty the user authentication part so that it can work with auxiliary (webservices, ASP.NET, custom database or Sharepoint) methods I'll definitely share back with the community.
Lee, what would be your recommendation, for a new comer to Umbraco/C#, to attempt changing the nForum authentication to work with a web services (authentication only, no user creation etc.) ?
Would appreciate your input and directions on this.
I've ported 1.5 for usage with Custom Membership

I'd be interested in seeing the code, can you put it in a bitBucket public repo for anyone if they want to get hold it?
Also top job on doing something interesting with it and don't forget to vote for it :)

Did you ever put this on bitBucket for people to have a look at?
Not yet, been busy. But I assure you I will!
