Login module
 

Hello to everybody,

I have a portal, running on a PostgreSQL database, with its own user list. I installed mySQL on the same machine and I'm planning to install vbulletin.

But I'd like to do the following:

- when an user is created or modified in the PostgreSQL DB, create or modify the corresponding user in vbulletin's DB (or isolate the login module of VB to allow data fetch in the other database);
- when an user is logged in on the portal, he should enter the forum without passing for the login phase.

The second option seems a bit simpler to implement. For the first one, is there some developement documentation around here? Is the VB login an isolated module?

Thank you in advance.

Is your portal custom scripted? If not what portal are you using?

You can easily let the portal use vB's DB, by requiring global.php.

The portal is custom scripted, but it's already running and I cannot change the database. The only chance I have to do something is to allow VB to fetch data from my database or to modify "on the fly" the VB database each time the master database is modified.

Is there something similar or some documentation around?

Thank you.

Bye

pls help me :(

I think it would be possible to write a cronjob that would periodically check for new users in the other database. Changes would already be more difficult, unless you have some way of tracking the changes. Would need more details to give you a better answer.

Yes is both the portal and the board are on the same domain, it should be possible to create a single login.

Please bear in mind that we are discussing if something would be possible. Complete solutions or even estimates on the amount of work would be very hard to give in the Pre-Sales section. Also because no coder would look into a solution (which would be costum) untill you have acquired a vBulletin license.

If you have any more questions i am sure someone of the staff or another community member would be willing to answer if you can supply enough information.
