Hello guys,

Where is the code that generates random salt while registration.

Why would you want that? It will decrease the security of your forums.

I need to integrate vbulettin to my custom made website.

So i thought it makes the thing easier.

Thanks for response, can you please provide the some pointer on this topic.
Integrating vbulettin 3.8.3 forums with a custom made PHP and MySQL system.

I would appreciate that.

Thanks

That would not make it any easier. Why not just read the current salt out of the database?

I don't have any pointers to do this, as i don't think anyone ever done it before. I would also strongly recommend not to go this route.

Well, i appreciate your feedback.

What i am really looking here is,

I am not a expert in PHP. As a user of vbulettin forum. Now i want to integrate vb forums to my website.

My Website is going to be main registration and login portal.
As it is inconviniece if the user registers/login twice.

So if the log in to my portal, he can use the forums without logging in again.
I think it has been done already, please point some easy and good code.

Please suggest.
Thanks again.

Coding an integration between your custom user system and vBulletin has probably never been done before.

Ok.

What about the link

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=115380&highlight=integrate+vbulletin+into+custom+applicat ion


Problem, even i can use the PHP code in the above link.

I have read, it can possible by creating cookies that vbulettin does.

I think i didn't explain more.

Please advice, I appreciate that.
Thanks
