Hacking User Database
 

Okay, I'm trying to hack the user database in 3.5 to redistribute and update appropiate user information (ie. password, username, email, etc.)

Everything's changed so much, I don't know where to start. The information needs to goto a completely different database, with a totally different SQL username/password combination....Oh also, it's using the traditional MD5 password hash :ermm:

So...where do I start? :D

Hook userdata_postsave

Care to elaborate a bit more? :D

This is a Hook in the User Datamanager, which is being called whenever smth. was saved to the user Table through the Datamanager.

You can access the fields you need with
Then process them as you need.

Okay, but that only puts me in a spot to limit data within the same database. How do I go about distributing it to a totally different database?

Whatever solution you will choose, the password will be impossible.

Nothing is impossible Marco :p I thought it would be originally in the 3.0, but I was able to find a solution around it. It's a matter of finding a solution in 3.5.x

Ok, let me rephrase that: "The password is impossible without reducing your security significant"

Marco is right, you can't catch the Plaintext Password without reducing security significantly.

To store Data in another Database, just connect to it using the PHP mySQL Interface.

meah...i'm not the best of codehackers Kirby. Care to give me a lil lesson on how to hack 3.5 :p :D. I suck at abstract queries.
