Vbulletin/LifeType Cross Registration App
 

This extension bridges vbulletin with LifeType, an open source blog network application. (Note: LifeType recently changed its name; its previous name was Plog. If you are ever searching for LifeType related stuff, you may want to keep that in mind :) )

What the extension does:

Automatically registers users for a lifetype account with the same username and password as their vbulletin account when they sign up through vbulletin. (So be sure to have your LifeType registration links point to vbulletin to have full integration. :) )

This does NOT bridge session IDs -- registration only.

How to implement the extension:

• Upload the PHP file
• Upload the xml file
• Add the extension

And voila! You're good to go. :)

Don't forget to customize your vbulletin templates and emails accordingly if you install this.

seems interesting ... i will install it now .

Sounds nice I will have to think about what I can use this for on my site.

Nice job :)

Hi,

what happen to existing users?!

Tobi,

your question will problably just be ignored because you didn't explain it. explain it and maybe not.

Ah, sorry, found the answer within the readme!

I just asked, what happen to users that are already registered! But there is a importscript in the package.

Tobi

whats the final blog URL for each username?

thank you

Couple of problems I found running the import script:

1) There is no support for a Vbulletin database prefix
2) The script cannot cope with user names with an apostrophe in them as its used as a delimiter in the select statements. To correct this you can use the mysql_real_escape_string function

Well, Maybe im dumb or its my flu, but I still dont know how this extension work. It registers users to Your vB lifetype blog, or does it create individual blogs for the new registered members?
