For all the phpBB3 administrators who want to migrate their phpBB3 to VB4 and hate the idea that the users have to use the "Forgotten your password?" method to logon to the new VB4 board.

The idea heavily borrowed from the ipbAuth mod created by viarun.

The solution I implemented is that I first hash the password the phpBB3 way and check the hashed password against the entry in phpbb3.users table. When the hashes are the same I use the normal VB4 method to store the password in the VB4 database.

Because I don't like to destroy the original phpBB3.users table I added an extra field "PWD_Synced" to the table and use that field to remember that a password was already synced.

We are running this mod on our brand new VB4 forum http://www.astroforum.nl and it work perfect. 330+ phpBB3 users already migrated their password to the new board.

Many thanks to viarun and malcolmx in his LDAP Auth Plugin. THANKS guys!

Installation instructions:
  • Add the field "PWD_Synced" in the phpBB3 table phpbb_users. You can use the following statement.
    "ALTER TABLE `phpbb_users` ADD `PWD_Synced` BOOL NOT NULL DEFAULT '0';"
  • copy phpBB3Auth directory to your vb forum installation directory
  • change the path to controller.php directory in phpBB3-plugin.xml
  • copy the hooks_phpBB3.xml to FORUM_ROOT/inclucdes/xml directory
  • in login.php do:
    search for:
    Code:
          if ($vbulletin->GPC['vb_login_username'] == '')
             {
              eval(standard_error(fetch_error('badlogin', $vbulletin->options['bburl'], ....
             }
    insert below:
    Code:
          ($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('phpBB3_login_hook')) ? eval($hook) : false;
  • activate plugin system (if not done already) in admincp
  • in admin cp import the product file "phpBB3-plugin.xml" at "Download / Upload" Plugins
  • re-check if the include for controller.php is right
  • in includes/class_bootstrap.php search for:
    Code:
    $show['nopasswordempty']
    change:
    Code:
    defined('DISABLE_PASSWORD_CLEARING') ? 1 : 0;
    to:
    Code:
    defined('DISABLE_PASSWORD_CLEARING') ? 0 : 1;
  • test the product

Important information

In my documentation I forgot too mention that it is best to install the plug-in after you migrated the data from phpBB3 to VB4. You can leave the phpBB3 database on-line and when you go live the users start to login on VB4 and automagically the password gets migrated to VB4.

Detailed installation instructions and all files needed are in the zip file.

Have fun with it,
