If yes, why can't you make phpnuke use the same members file as VBB?
I believe this is possible, so every board member would have access to the portal and vice-versa!
Anyone willing to give it a try?

PS. These yellow smilies don't look good! :(

Yes, you could BUT the table structure for users in vB is completely diffrent than that of PHP-Nuke, Im sure its able to be done but it would be a bit difficult.

I see, so would it be possible to automaticly add a new members from phpnuke to vbb, using its tables, I mean for instance when you sign up for either the board or phpnuke it would register you on the other!
Maybe it' easier this way, I can't do either one :) but I'd love to see this done!
I assume this would require changes on both scripts

There have been many threads requesting vB's user data be joined with this or that product. I am not offering to do it (ey143 will be after me if I release another hack before his!), but in general, any time you want to link to different tables so that the data is live, you just have to add a routine to send new data back and forth from one to the other and call it any time an update is performed.

For example, to make the vB user database the default for vB and PHPNuke, redirect PHPNuke's user sign up to vB's routine and include some code to update PHPNuke's database after the user is registered in vB's. Do this for editing the Profile, as well. You can leave all the other user stuff alone so long as changes are always initiated in the vB user table and propagated to PHPNuke's user table. The routine just has to map the fields and add defaults for or calculate stuff that vB leaves out (and you do not want to add to vB's table -- hack away!).

Nice phumphries
Anyone wiling to give it a try?
I would if I knew PHP :(

LOL, maybe if we ask him nicely he'll let you work on this one?

No, he's stopped talking to me until I send to him some code. :D (Oh, man! Fix those smilies!!!!)

phumphries
do you care to give this a try?
Btw would it work on the same database VBB and PHPnuke? Or it would mess up VBB?

Btw these smilies to suck!

I am almost finished the first go at ey143's hack (I need it, too), and will look at PHPNuke when I install it (the next thing on my list!).

I am a big fan of common user info. One big supplier whose name shall remain unmentioned has had two separate, system assigned user name and password combinations for three years (they are different and cannot be changed), and their login screen has said, that whole time, "We are working on having one login..." Give me a break!

So what's this hack about?
