VB Intrigration with other software???
 

I just purchased some chat room software: CHAT BLAZER

I'm having it installed by the company that wrote it....

They just asked me a question that I do not know (being I paid VB to install VB for me also). Here is there question:

,,,, I need to know where your members' data
are stored. Could you send me the appropriate info like the table name, how
the password is stored, etc.

Do you know the answer to this question????

PLEASE LET ME KNOW ASAP!!!!

Yours,

Well depending if you used the table prefix option in the config.php it would be (table_prefix)user else it would just be user for the table. Also the passwords are stored as md5 encription.

vB3 makes the password storage more complicated with the "salt"... the password is md5 encrypted twice, once with the salt added. "Salt" is recorded as a field in the user table and is created randomly by a function during registration.

$hashedpassword = md5( md5 ( $plaintextpassword . $salt ) );

like the above...

Thank you for your help!!! With the information you provided to me here we got it to work.....

The Chat Room now gathers it's USERNAME and PASSWORD from the VB MySQL table...THANK YOU !!! THANK YOU !!!

So nice when it all works!!!

MD5 is a hash algorithm, not an encryption algorithm.
