Inserting Users Into Database

[mattfl]

On the site I admin, we have a an image area that you need to register for to access, we take that username and password that is entered for the image gallery and insert it into the users table in our database for vbulletin. The problem I am having is vbulletin is not recognizing the username/password combo that is entered even though it exsists in the database. However, if a user uses the forgotten password and resets it, it then works. Is there a setting I need to change to allow this to work? Anyone have any ideas? Thanks

You won't be able to get it to work as vB adds salt to the encryption for the passwords which most other programmes don't do.

Is there anyway to disable that?

Not AFAIK. I wouldn't recommend it anyway as the salt adds extra security.

Nuts, well, that's no good

Ok, if I can't go that way, can I get vbulletin to, after a user goes thru it's registration insert the username/pw that it gets into a seperate table? Kinda the opposite of what I do now? So I have 2 tables in my database users(vbulletin) galleryusers(other users form) i get the user to go thru the vbulletin registration and it also dumps that info into the galleryusers table?
