ldb358 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 ive never used php bb but id assume that it is connected to a database in which case you just change the table that it loads the users off of to the same one your site uses or vise versa depending on which is easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert_gsfame Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 the problem is that phpbb user table only contains of username and password while my user table contains more complex information such as telephone number and other things and those column have been set NOT NULL i really confused with this LOL ..........

mikesta707 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 My PHPbb table contained a lot of information, and was organized differently (had an encryption on the password, and some other stuff) that, if the forum didnt have access to, would break the forums, So i don't suggest changing which tables PHPbb accesses when logging a user in. You could have your login form for your site also call the login script for the forum so that it logs into both pages at the same time (or have it create the cookie or session for the forum when you login). to synchronize the tables you could either alter your table so it works with both the forum and your site, or have your site's register script add the data to both tables. beyond that, i don't have much experience with PHPbb so I can't really give more advice hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildteen88 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 You will be better of asking this sort of question over at the phpBB community overt at phpbb.net. However you can have a read of this KB article for integrating your sites login with phpBB's login. There are many more KB articles for phpBB here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
