Logic of 3 scripts and 1 header
Hi,
I am hitting my head for weeks now,
I run 3 sites that are basically serving 1 community, a job search, a wiki and a social networking platform.
Rather than promote all three I want to create the illusion that its all 1 website, and I identify 3 areas to make this possible.
1) unified login
2) unified header
3) unified footer
1) I have heard and studied up on openID and oauth, but no idea how to make something like that happen. Basically what I need is for the WIKI (Mediawiki) and the job search (wordpress) to get its credentials from the social platform (Oxwall). As you can see all three platforms are opensource.
What would be the best route for this?
2) Not so much look wise, but each platform has unique needs, I can address these without issue, but the problem is with those area that should be universal. Such as the messaging system alert, should show in all 3 headers,
3) this is not really an issue.
So I am not sure if this is the right place to ask, but these are serious issues for me. These sites generate no income, so I can not really afford to hire some expert who does this for me, I will have to figure this out myself.
Any support, help and advice would be enormously appreciated.
