Use Flarum to log in users to my website

Fred

Hello,

I would like to integrate flarum in my website as follows. I would like a single userid shared by flarum and by some other services that I provide. The easiest way for me seems to use the users table of flarum. I think that I am able to obtain the userid of a visitor if it is already logged in, by using the flarum_session.
My problem is the following : if the user is not logged in, I would like that it is logged in using flarum system and that after that he automatically came back to my website.
I have already installed the direct-links extension in order to open directly the login page. However, I would like that after login, my user came back to the original page (outside flarum). Is it possible to do something like this?

Thank you,
Fred.

Fred while this is most certainly possible, I don't think there's any publicly available example for how to achieve this.

For passing a custom redirect URL to the login modal, it's a bit complicated since Flarum uses a modal and has no native concept of redirect. One option would be to store the information in local storage or a cookie when the modal opens, and then apply that value after the page refreshes.

Another option would be to place the login form on a standalone page as it would provide more flexibility for redirects. I have a work in progress for such an extension, but currently it only modifies the SignUp part and not login https://github.com/flamarkt/signup-page

Most single sign on examples I can think of use an external website as the master and Flarum as a slave. The opposite seems to be less common at this time.

Thank you. I would like to use the Flarum identification process because everything that I would like to do (like email verification, and so on) is already done. I will search for a php library for doing this.
