Registration - using another ID

I'd like to remove the vBulletin registration altogether, and replace it with a bespoke system.

However, I'd still like to use the vB generated cookie, and other board functionality.

The process I envisage is thus:

Bespoke registration page filled in.
Most data saved in new custom table.
Insert ID (for cross referencing) and essential data passed to vB database - > standard registration confirmation email sent.

What I'd really like to know is:

a: What is the "essential" info that vB needs. I'm thinking username, password and email address - anything else?

b: Since I'm handling the registration through a direct connection with the database, how might I envoke the email confirmation bit?

c: Any obvious flaws in the plan?

Many tia.

a. well you always have to create a userfield row for each user, or you can't edit the user from your acp.

also usergroupid should be specified (2 for registred)
that should be all what is really needed..

And herein lies the problem.
I'd still like to authenticate email addresses ala vB. Should I try and get the vB engine to do this (if so, how?), or should I write a new bit to the script that updates that field by sending a unique link?

I suspect I'd like it to default to "awaiting vailidation", then somehow send the confirmation and update link.

Cheers, had forgotten about usergroup.

usergroupid is 3 when you want to validate em :)

then you have to rewrite this code a bit:

PHP Code:


		
			
  if ($verifyemail) {

        // make random number

        mt_srand ((double) microtime() * 1000000);

    $activateid=mt_rand(0,100000000);



    //save to DB

        $DB_site->query("INSERT INTO useractivation VALUES (NULL,'$userid','".time()."','$activateid',0)");



    eval("\$message = \"".gettemplate("email_activateaccount",1,0)."\";");

    eval("\$subject = \"".gettemplate("emailsubject_activateaccount",1,0)."\";");



    mail ($email,$subject,$message,"From: \"$bbtitle Mailer\" <$webmasteremail>");



  }

I've used the above code as a guide and written a new script for this. Still testing at the moment but all seems to be ok. Thanks very much for your help :)
