Thanks... This hack is confusing me a lot. I don't understand how simply changing a few links in 1 file can let phpNuke access the vbulletin database and use it for posting etc. I've looked at postNuke and it looks much better than phpNuke, and hence I expect I will change over - as soon as I understand how this whole thing works.

Forgotten about me Madison? :(

I emailed Russel, but I didn't understand his 1 line response.

Sorry, but I`ve really forgotten about you. I had to do so much work today.... you know ;)

But tomorrow (10-18-2001) I`ll tell you. But before I have to try it out. Maybe it doesn`t work. But im sure it does...

Sorry for my bad english, but I`m a german.

Nothing to aplogise for mate! Your English is 100% better than my German! ;)

STILL don't understand this hack. :(

Do you have ICQ? I think its easier to tell you with ICQ... :)

My number is 102461327, but maybe I`ll connect with a nother number, so it will be better if you`ll give me your number.

don't know postnuke...

have to look into that.... for what i've seen... it's just a modified version of phpnuke...

meaning:
both version need a LOT of tweaking before it does what you want it to do... but when you do.... OH MAMMA!!!

maybe postnuke is getting more attention now (www.nukeaddons.com), but i'll stick to 'my' phpNuke till postnuke *really* becomes better.....(!)

Nice idea to post data in both dbs; but what i fsomeone wants to change his stuff?

With this solution you have to find every mysql-update in both scripts. Cant be the right way!?

Im sitting here for two days now, melting both databases into one;
the idea is to add every extra feield from PN (table users) into table user (VB); then change the PN-Files to use password instead pass, homepgae instead url and so on.
Most of the thing is ready here; some problems will solved this night (registering VB with mail and activation-code, PN with made passwort) and some more.

Its a f*cking work, and im afraid of the next update of pn; but the only way i see...

ps. my email's russell@buffydownunder.com ... there's TWO L's :)

And the new version of PHPNuke5.2, the user.php page changed, basically all that line did was to get rid of the click here to register, and change it to a link to the vBulletin rego.

This is great code, but how do you deal with password changes for the guy who changes his vb password? And how do you transfer 500 existing users into nuke's database?
