Synching logins from main site to Vbulletin forums
 

I am working for a client that wants to utilize Vbulletin. I did, however, have a question about creating synched logins from the main site to VB or vice versa (we don't want folks to have to register for two accounts). My questions:

1. What's the best option/mod for doing this?
2. What's the best way to get it going?
3. Is there a different option available? In other words, what would make it easiest for not having to do extensive modification of the code for VB? I believe there is an option for making the main site utilize the VB system w/o such modifications.

Thanks, in advance!

depending on your clients needs, you have two solutions:

1- code a bridge that will use vB or the other systems login/authentication details to be logged across the system. an example is Photopost.com... all the scripts there use vBulletin login to swithc the user authentication.

2- completely switch to vBulletin if you can... vBulletin is by far, one of the most reliable structure to integrate websites and older content by importing or merging old content...

Hi nexialys,
