Custom Registration / User Duplication

[ram2600]

Hi,

Here is a quick overview of how we ae using vB. Our main site is <SITE>.com, this is where we have a wealth of user data, to avoid the users from recreating this data in Vb We disabled the registration sectio of vB. I them create a script that is run when a new user activates his gamertag account, and this place the user in the Needed vB Tables (well that we beleive) I will put the php inserts at the bottom.

I am adding info the following tables; user, usertext, and usertextfield. This allowed for the user to apper correctly in the admincp.

The users are able to log in fine, but I have seen duplicate users being created in the usertable, I have been investigatiing my scripts but they run only once on activation for that user and never again.

today I cleand up all the dupes so the database was consistant, but all new users and users that have not logged in in a while, those with I am guessing the lastactiviy date of 1969, seem to duplicate them selvesafter logging into vB. (stilll a guess on that db field or the reason)

I am trying to determin if during logon to vB have I missed some data on the inserts and the login code creates a new user. The record is usually the same, excpet for the date fields and the salt value, we use a constant salt for all users, and that is not present on the dupes.

Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

Thank you
