User Database

[Totem123]

Q: I understand that vB is using SQL as it's database for all members registered. What if my current site also requires registration to access certain areas and requires more information of the person like credit card information? Can i use the same database as vB to centralise the site's registration system?

A: What you say should work as long as there are no table name conflicts with the Vb table names.

Q: So i can make use of just one table of user profiles for the whole site? Would editing the table not affect the site's registration system or the forum registration system? If it is possible, then would credit card info be displayed when users click on other user's profiles? Or can i hide it?

A: If you want to use the same tables for vB and your site's registration, then this would require modifying the code, which we don't support officially. Try https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/ for questions about code modifications.

All Questions from me while answers are from users from the VB community.

So can anyone tell me how can i have a universal registration system going?

Will security be a problem?
