User Login Question

[JSHINER]

I currently have a database that holds user registrations - there is a spot for them to register, login, etc.

 

Now... I am installing vBulletin - is there anyway to take away the user reg. on vBulletin and have the other one carry over to it? So once they login ONCE on the site, it counts them as logged in on vBulletin?

Yea i've seen it done before not sure how to on vBullitin but in phpbb they register the password using the md5() method. So when they register on your site you would have to make it send all that data into the right database and the right table for that to work mostly (Well lol if not then i dont know how u would get it to work)

 

To figure out how they encrpt the password alogn with anything else (maybe they enncrpt the username too) just open ur favorite editing program and open the php registresion files for vBullitin (I don't know what files they would be) and what ever they use to send the information into the datbase jsut use on your registration form. I will be doing this myself in a little when i find what I need i will send it to u but it will only work for PHPbb

 

I know i probably didnt help to much but ive onl gotten 4 hours of sleep in the past 37 hours  :-\

Actually, it might be easier to have them register/login using the vBulletin system, especially since it is bound to be extremely organized, and then have your site share the database information with the forum, instead of the other way around.
