[wp-hackers] Pluggables: wp_login -> Causing Fatal Errors

[Curt Woodard]

I've started work on replacing the WP user stuff with SMF as I'd
discussed in an earlier post. But I've come across an issue.

When I'm trying to override the wp_login() function, WP can't start
the plug-in... I'm rather baffled by this.

The code:

$smf_path = '/Path/To/SMF/';

require ($smf_path.'smf_api.php');

function wp_login($username, $password, $already_md5 = false)
{
	global $wpdb, $error, $smf_user_info;

	$username = sanitize_user($username);
	if(!smf_authenticateUser())
	{
		smf_setLoginCookie(3600, addslashes($username), $password, false);
		smf_loadSession();
		smf_authenticateUser();
	}
	else
		smf_authenticateUser();
	
//... Actual code from pluggable.php's wp_login() here
}

Pretty much, I've just added the smf_api functions. It was working
before, but now, when I attempt to override the function, it errors
out on me...

Should I just use do_action()? Or has anyone heard of a bug where an
override no longer works?

Thanks,
