How do I link all my stuff into one big thing

[lookouthere]

Currently on my website, I have SMF as forum, Coppermine as my gallery and b2evolution as my blog. How do I link all 3 of them together with one simple user registration. Then they will be able to use all of them with one account. Is there any programming involve or is it easy? Also, which CMS prgrom do you guys recommend or Could I build on my own since I have one simple log-in? let me know. thanks

It might be easier to migrate forum/blog/gallery functions to a single service, like Drupal or Joomla. If you wanna integrate the products you listed in the OP and they are currently installed and running independently, you'll have to write a lot of custom code yourself.

Joomla CMS with Community Builder might do the trick for you, although you might need to migrate your gallery over to Gallery2 for best compatibility. I don't know anything about you blog software though and how that might integrate.

i've heard good things about dhrupal and nucleus. dhrupal apparently is used on the onion site to make it look like the new york times so i read somewhere.

Wordpress + SMF have a plugin to have single user names across both apps.
