Hello Everybody

I have an external application build on PHP and MySQL. The user and password hash is same as vbulleting uses.

How can i make vbulettin to use my database only for logging in.

I mean if login to my external application, i should log in to vbulettin forum

Regards

Write your own login function that passes the details to both login systems

Without synchronizing, is there a way to use users data from another database, like what i have now.

I appreciate the response.

Thanks

Just connect to the database and read out whatever you need from the appropriate table(s)

Well, i appreciate your feedback.

I am not a expert in PHP. As a user of vbulettin forum. Now i want to integrate vb forums to my website.

My Website is going to be main registration and login portal.
As it is inconviniece if the user registers/login twice.

So if the log in to my portal, he can use the forums without logging in again.
I think it has been done already, please point some easy and good code.

Please suggest.
Thanks again.

I think it has been done already

Yes it has...

please point some easy and good code.

Asking for that, is like asking a random guy in the street how to install a turbo in a 40 years old car without giving the model and mark.

And again, the exact and correct answer for your question is

Ok

I am using vb 3.8.3.

I did get what details, it should need more.

Well, I have to admit I don't program on the windows platform, so VB is out of my league.

Generic directions and pseudo code would be:
1) instantiate a db connection object
2) connect to the vbulletin database
3) send a query to the db to check the given username/password from your VB application
4) If there is a corresponding record, let the user go further. Otherwise, present him the login window again

I guess i didn't explain, what i need.

Pleas go through the link.

I am trying to use the bottom PHP code, but i have problems.

I appreciate that.
