Need integration with VisionGate Fusion

[Toolie]

I am setting up a VisionGate Fusion site (http://www.visiongatefusion.com) for a client who wants to incorporate vBulletin into the same site, the same MySQL installation. I am told that the two products can be installed on the same server, but that users would have to log into both products unless there is some custom programming to integrate the two and make the logins seamless.

VGF is PHP-based, but they disallow table additions to their structure because it prevents auto-updates. I deduce that vBulletin is PHP and MySQL based, as is VGF. Can you think of a programming reason why we can't pass credentials from one database-based application to the other seamlessly? I know VGF pretty well, it's vBulletin for which I need advice.

If it is possible to integrate the two, then I will also be shopping for someone to do the custom programming. I'm also told I can find one somewhere here within these forums...

Thanks,

Toolie

I have never seen an integration/bridge to VGF before.

But if both systems use MySQL, it should be possible to create at least a bridge.

Another coder said it would be cookie management between the two systems. Do you know anyone who would be willing to do the programming? We are looking for a programmer, and we would own the scripts upon completion.

Please email responses to toolie@tooliethetravelguide.com.

Thank you,

Toolie

... the other coder was me...

but the way cookies can be set is "part" of the integration, you need to be able to compare both databases for similar content, first, and know what usertable you will use (vB or VGF), etc...

there is a lot of settings to check out... cookies are only for the session (keep the user logged-in)
