VB Register integration with games.

[KDawg08]

So i'm going to be running a VB 4.x.x forum system on my site, I'm currently on 3.8.4 but i'm upgrading since i'm redoing my site from scratch.

I am trying to find out how to make it so when a user registers on my vb forums, i can integrate it to register them automatically to my games database. I have the tables for it to insert etc but i know nothing about how i would add this. and I asked a few people privately and nobody can figure this out...

I have the register.php for my game handy if anyone is willing to do this or ATLEAST show me how step by step so i can learn from it.

Any ideas on this?

I probably won't be able to walk you through it, but I might be able to offer some insights. I'm in something of a similar situation right now, where I'm implementing a custom login process to communicate with Vbulletin. Surely, some of the same info must apply to what I've learned.

I've had to crack open the code on the back end to integrate into VB's login process. Maybe not directly related, but we'll see.

So it sounds like you're trying to duplicate the registration process that happens on VB so that registration happens on your site at the same time? Is that correct?

[KDawg08]

That is correct, I was told "You can just implement your games database information into the vbulletin register.php and it should work" But the register.php does not send out the information to add into your database, it calls something else. And I'm completely lost on how i can implement my games database (as a seperate database) into the register system so it adds the users to the games AND to the vbulletin.

Another problem i've realized is if they're pre-registered and I add a new game, i won't be able to implement their accounts into the new games...

^^ Any ideas what files have the database information seeing as register.php doesn't?

[bleavitt]

What if you just added another line of code that calls for your games database and inserts the values that are made available with the Forums registration process? I'm assuming by the end of the script there's a good list of values that are being inserted into a user database for vBulletin, why not make another command that accesses the other database?

I'm completely unfamiliar with the register.php script however. In theory, this doesn't sound that complicated.

[KDawg08]

I've had about 5-6 people look at the register file and everyone says the register.php file does NOT send out the info to the database, not only that the game database doesn't use the same md5 encryption... it uses md5 encryption but not the way vbulletin does lol...

plus i don't know how to call another database and get that information into it...

I really hope there is SOMEONE who can explain this for me :/

[KDawg08]

Anyone have ANY luck on this?

I'm officially done helping people here... I have asked on other forums and gotten replies but no one is sure, where as here the people who USE TO BE AROUND TO HELP don't help with anything anymore...

[KDawg08]

Last try before I give up completely and use some other forum type for this...

I figured it out with SMF/PHPBB2 and 3 and i figured it out with IPB, but i can't figure it out for vbulletin...

[KDawg08]

Now i'm getting mad, vb.com won't even tell me where to insert the damn tables info for another system so it will multi register things... This is supposedly something they cover and i still have NO HELP from vbulletin after spending a couple hundred bucks... I now see how much time and effort i wasted (And money) being as they can't answer anything...

They told me "Ask those questions at vbulletin.org and you'll get an answer from one of our members their" and yet nothing...
