Perldesk Tester Needed

[vega25]

Not sure If this is the wrong place to post, but I will ask anyways. I am not releaseing the hack yet, but need people with perldesk 1.5.5 and vbulletin 2.3.0 to help me test a hack I wrote. Basically what this does is uses the users from vbulletin to work with perldesk. I am currently running both and felt this would be easier to have instead of having to register twice. This can be customized to the users needs, I just got them to work together. Would anyone be interested in this? Please PM for testing this.

regards,

Thats going to be a tough request considering most of the users here are using php based scripts....

And PerlDesk is another paid product ... :)

The hack is written in PHP, embedded in vB, and works flawlessly to automatically add users to a perldesk user database upon registration to the associated vB forum. :bunny:

Let me be a little clearer...

Just because the perdesk app is written in cgi does not mean we have to access the perdesk MySQL database from cgi too, we can use php and do in this hack!

Once installed the code runs seemlessly with vBulletin during the registration and activation processes. If in the event a user registers for vBulletin and there is already such a user in the perldesk users database, the techadmin of the vbulletin site will be notified to add this user by hand. This is likely to happen on sites that have user lists built already. For sites that may be starting from scratch, since vbulletin won't allow this to happen, it won't occur on the perldesk database either.

Todays testing has presented us with the opportunity to make the code seem very reliable. We need a second opinion now.

Any takers???

Yo dude...mellow out! All I was saying is that this forum is mostly PHP based and you will find very little help here based on PerlDesk being a cgi product as well as a paid product....

Well, I think you need to chill out bubba, I was meerly pointing out that the code is just fine in a php arena and that it works. You folks jumped in with the negetivity. My point is we're not full of crap and the code is not dependant on cgi and therefore can be beneficial to a vB/php site in need of such a hook to perldesk(a cgi app).

This is not what I call a very warm welcome. :(


P.S. The idea for this hack came from a post on this forum. So perhaps you were wrong is saying...

Secondly vB is a paid product, what does Perldesk being a paid product have to do with anything? We don't mod the perldesk code.

Just trying to do what I can, some folks are responding. I don't want to argue over if's and such. Coding is fun. Let's not let the details get in the way of innovation.

Although PerlDesk is a cgi product, it still uses mysql, so you could just use the same database and do some modifications in order to get it to work right. I think that's what he's trying to say.

That is exactly the point, thank you.

The hack works great for us. Just trying to show what others requested can be done easily.
