Auto add users to PerlDesk DB upon vB registration

Version .10 | Copywrite noppid 2003
This code will automatically add users to a perldesk MySQL database
upon registration to a vBulletin forum. This is achived in two steps.

a.) When the user registers, an entry into a new table will be made with
that users login information for perldesk.

b.) When the user is approved and sent an activation notice they will
be added to the perldesk users database upon activation. This is done
to give some control of the building of the users database in perldesk.
Otherwise each registration would automatically add a user to perldesk
too. Some may prefer this, who knows? If so put the code all in
part one, it should work but was not tested.

If an error occurs the techadmin in your config.php will be notified
via email as to which function failed so you can take action. Once
operating properly the only error we can foresee is that a username
is already in use on the perldesk users database and not in vBulletin.
This would cause the user to be added only to vBulletin and the techadmin
will be notified via email to add the user to perldesk by hand. If the
techadmin is sent any emails the user did not get added to perldesk.
Errors are unlikely though and the routines will aid installation
troubleshooting only most likely.

Outlined below are the four steps necessary to make the code functional.
You must have your perldesk MySQL database access information and access to
your vBulletin installation's FTP or equivelent to patch the two files. You
also need access to your vBulletin MySQL database to run a MySQL query to
add the necessary table for the code to work. phpMyAdmin works well for this.

Two files need to be edited on your vBulletin installation, register.php
in the forums folder and config.php in the forums/admin folder.

A table needs to be added to your vbulletin installation's MySQL database
as well.

There is no screen shot since the process is transparent in the background.

Does this, or another, hack work to integrate users from Perldesk 2.0 with vB 3.0.3?

I wrote it on request. It wasn't private, but the guy that used it was happy so I released it to show what can be done. Feel free to mod it or upgrade it or reuse it or whatever ya want. I don't have the product to continue work or give advice on new code.
