I’m up for a project where the currently implemented Mambo  
authentication  
system would be used to  
get access to the Rails apps. I’m imagining this is fairly easy. One  
thought is perhaps build the Rails auth system and then  
let Mambo do a handoff to Rails somewhere at the top level ?

Any one do something similar , thoughts, ideas, pointers ?

TIA  
Stuart

After googling around I read a few pages about integrating Rails with  
PhpBB  
for the authentication. I imagine this is translatable with other PHP  
systems.  
However, while I still lack many details, at this point I know the goal  
is  
to serve up “static” content via PHP / Mambo and dynamic content  
(database)  
through Rails.  
Something else I noticed googling is running Rails and PHP on Lighttpd ,  
using symlinks between the two applications.  
If any of this makes sense and someone has some experience doing  
something  
similar I wouldn’t mind hearing. At this point I feel like a loner 🙂
