MobTown Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 Does anyone know of any high tech open source forums, where you specify where in the database the username and password are stored. So that users can log in that are already registered to my site, using the username and password hash in my database? Quote
Isomerizer Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 Re: Question You'd have to edit your registry file, and have it so the right details are inserted into the forum database, also the correct session / cookie would have to be set when loggin into the game, so users don't have to log into the forums as well.

MobTown Posted July 13, 2008 Author Posted July 13, 2008 Re: Question Thanks for the advice, but to be honest with you I have tried to do as said, however I am new to PHP and the MCCODEs style is totally different from that In PHPBB I can't even see a query that looks the same as those used in MCCODES in the PHPBB pages.

Isomerizer Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 Re: Question May be tricky to locate the right code if your not used to the PHPBB engine, maybe try asking on the PHPBB support forum, I'm sure they'll have more knowledge of it. Quote
MobTown Posted July 13, 2008 Author Posted July 13, 2008 Re: Question Hate to sound negative, but i have already done that before posting here. http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=1056945 someone has tried, but they are a little confused as to what i want, and think i want my site to use the phpbb login.

Guest Anonymous Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 Re: Question Maybe look at the php-nuke phpbb add-on; may give you a better understanding of it. Quote
MobTown Posted July 13, 2008 Author Posted July 13, 2008 Re: Question ok... so i have installed PHP-Nuke version 8 (Free with my host as opose to latest v.9) and i may be missing a trick, but it still has separate users. I don't see how it would help. Quote
Lithium Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 Re: Question It is a bit tricky, though the best option (in my opinion), is to compare what fields you have in common on both db's, and make a fully new registration, to fullfill both db's this way, you will have both filled up. I know it might no be the best option, though my opinion is the less messy and time consuming (code speaking) you will have to do a fully new registration page though but it will save users a lot of time having the registration in both places at once Quote
