HCStrike Posted March 1, 2017 Report Posted March 1, 2017 Hello, I currently have a phpBB forum on my website and I am wondering if I can use the user information from my forum to allow users to log in to the phpVMS site. Thanks, Harry Quote
TAV1702 Posted March 26, 2017 Report Posted March 26, 2017 This has been done before but long ago. The module is well outdated by now if even available anymore. I know dev stopped on it for a reason, just not sure why to be honest. The other option is to use the pay forum module that one of the guys here on site has developed or use SMF and their API hook. Dave (Simpilot) has a thread about it in his forum section of this site. Quote
Administrators ProAvia Posted March 26, 2017 Administrators Report Posted March 26, 2017 As a single, log in on one and automatically be able to fully access the other - sadly, no. I do have mine set up using the same username and password (I can't control if they use the same password, but do strongly suggest it), on both phpBB and phpVMS. It's kind of a pain to set up their access initially as we don't allow auto-registrations. But if they stay signed in to both, they can transition seamlessly from one to the other via on-site links on both entities. Using TAV1702's options are certainly worth a look see. Quote
web541 Posted March 26, 2017 Report Posted March 26, 2017 What I've done is made a hook for phpBB a while back (not sure if it still works), but it automatically registers the user into the DB so that they can have an account ready to go, this is a module for phpVMS though, so you register at phpVMS and an account is created at phpBB automatically, not the other way around (like you had asked). It also requires both phpBB and phpVMS to be installed into the same database. Like you wanted above, this is phpVMS-phpBB not the way you suggested so you probably won't make use of it, but I'll link it anyway. As the others have said, logging in with a single login is not easily possible at this stage. Quote

Nothing specifically for MyBB but you could change an existing script (such as this one) to match your database tables. Both the forum and phpvms should be in the same database though, just makes things easier. Quote
