same user registration across website
 

i'd like to associate the vb registration with the registration on my website (same fields more or less). are there any instructions on how to do and what all stuff to take care of?

thanks in advance!

spice, can you give us more details? are you using a portal? how do you plan to interact vb with your site?
thanks.

hi nakkid, nothing detailed. not using any portal etc. let us say i just have a user login for some pages of my website and i have a USER table which does all this. the code already works and i dont want to change it.

so i have two options:

1. use my form ONLY, and fill out vb tables automatically:
but when a user registers on MY form, i also want her to register automatically on VB forum (without the need for the email confirmation etc).

2. use VB form ONLY, and fill out my tables automatically: this i prefer because this verifies a user's email ID etc already.

so, to be able to do the 2nd, what do i do? i mean, once the user authenticates himself, apart from showing the message -- you are successfully registered, i want to be able to add values to my own user table.

possible? what all do i need to edit for this? for one thing, i know that i need to do something inside "register.php?a=act" which is the confirmation message that a user has activated. (when this is done, i add this user to MY table). i have a couple of questions:

1. how do i do this? inside register.php? would appreciate advice from seasoned hackers.

2. other than this, do i need to do something else ?

your site user table will also have to use same password encryption (MD5) as vbulletin for this, just letting you know as this may complicate things...

You basicly need to add a query within resgister.php to add the data to your table within the db after it has added the info to your vB user table.

needs to access the same my sql database and be able to read the encrypted password etc... i tried this, more hassle than its worth. ;)
