integrating vbulletin with other applications

[dionsis]

im looking to know what i will need to do to make vbulletin sync with another application

if it was something like jamroom or a custom application

do i need hooks? code a plugin?

what exactly do i need to know to make this work.

particularly stuff like login on one logins on boths, register on one registers on both and passwords are the same ( i.e. i believe vbulletin is something along the lines of md5(md5['password']) . salt

any help on these lines would be great, i like jamroom and have one or 2 custom applications and would like to know what i can do to make these work together.

Have a look at this tutorial for basic vBulletin integration. In the tutorial index you can find a lot more tutorials about the vBulletin API and other things.

cheers, that helps alright, but is there anything specific to log ins and sessions

like i found add-in users, which looks like being a great help

what im looking for now is that the script can now register users on the forums, but what if i want them to log in, to share sessions? or at least log in from this script and then that passes on the log in details to vbulletin to create a forum session too.

cheers for the 2 links though, they are a great start and have given me a good idea how i can improve on the jamroom provided vbulletin bridge ( they call it a bridge but all it does is insert statements on the vbulletin DB when you add a user on their system )

cheers
