Anyway, here's where I stand:

Registering users automatically: Check
Emailing users the information: Check
Connecting to Twitter and pulling information: Check
Pulling information from Twitter consisting of username, etc.: Check

Now the hard part... Pulling all that together. I'm hacking away because I'm tired, but it shouldn't be too hard.

The REALLY hard thing will be automatic login. I've never done that before. I'll tackle that last :P

*EDIT*: I'll also have to figure out logic if the username exists, etc etc etc. I'm calling it a night ... I'll play with it over the next week when I have time.

Thanks so much for giving this a go!

[Crimm]

Just don't get your hopes up too much in case my life takes over because it'll always have priority

[Mum]

As a mum i totally understand

[Crimm]

Just an update. I have gotten a good bit done today. I'll have a definitive update on where I stand with this tonight.

Hopefully I'll be that much closer

[Mum]

This is so exciting, thank you so much for all your effort.

[Crimm]

Okay I didn't get much done tonight. Not feeling motivated enough :P

I'll update this as I go: http://debugge.com/showthread.php?t=192

The major 2 things I have to get down pat are 1) Auto-login 2) Allowing users to link the twitter account with their existing vB account.

I'll try to get those 2 done before the beginning of next week and make them my target goals. Once I get those it'll be pretty much just cleaning up the code and making it pretty output wise.



Another important thing to note is that you can't pull the users email address from the Twitter API, so it'll have to be something that the user inputs during a twitter registration step. Can't be helped it doesn't seem.
