    Hi,
    Does anyone know how mark has accomplished the user login for the game "Splume"? See this post for more info http://forum.unity3d.com/viewtopic.php?t=7302&highlight=user+login
    I was wondering if anyone had any tips on getting started on writing my own login system. Or if someone is willing to share on that they have already made, thats even better.

    Thanks

    I had to make a login system a little while ago, and it is pretty easy to accomplish. My setup involved a mySQL database, and a little PHP scripting. Just use the WWW class in Unity to talk to PHP, and you are set.

    A related question - has anyone managed this approach with a CMS system (like Joomla etc.)?

    It would be Really Insanely Cool(tm) to tie the user login to a community.

    as long as there is a decent API for the CMS (apparently Joomla has one), it shouldn't be to hard. Find out how the API handles login checks and subscriptions... We did something similar a while ago by using the login system and image storage features of gallery2, and although gallery2 has rather chaotic docs, it worked.
