Share logins between own sites and vBulletin

[maplr4life]

Hi
How would I edit vBulletin so that it would use user accounts registered on my own website?

I can't modify my website, as it uses a MySQL database with tables specific to another server app that I can't modify.

(The server application, uses MySQL, and came with a SQL file that was a db structure and it won't accept any other structure and I can't edit the app)

Thanks

Hey Maplr4life,
I'm not too experienced but I think that would take a hell of a lot of modifications. I think it's possible to mimic your own website login based on vBulletin logins, but I'm not sure if a reverse process is easy enough. There's a modification that uses a cookie across all domains if you use your vBulletin login as your default login.
As vBulletin uses a strong encryption method, you'd have to make your own login mimic their encryption system

PHP Code:

 md5(md5($password) + $salt) 


, and you'd have to make it direct to vBulletin's user database to retrieve the username and password. If you feel up to that, go ahead and try it
