Some Help/Information with vB Integration Please

[DarkScythe]

Thank you for the replies.

I was able to tell about the double hashing, but I couldn't figure out exactly when I could pull the password. I had found this in the registration file, which I believe is when the database actually gets updated with the password information:

PHP Code:

    // set password
    $userdata->set('password', ($vbulletin->GPC['password_md5'] ? $vbulletin->GPC['password_md5'] : $vbulletin->GPC['password'])); 


But I have no idea which one to copy over. Are you saying that

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->GPC['password'] 


is what I need to copy over (after hashing, if that's the plaintext password?)

Along those lines, I read somewhere around here that the plaintext variable would turn up empty if javascript is enabled as there's a JS that hashes it before it hits the code or something - does this mean I need to copy the md5 hash instead before the salt is added?

Also.. I can't seem to find similar database calls for the other user information such as the username/email address. When/where does this information get added? I believe I may be simply overlooking it somewhere nearby..

Another thing.. apologies for all my questions.. Is it possible to turn birthdays into a required field when registering? I don't need to make it public, but I do plan on needing that information for some access restriction.

Thanks again!
