Topic: User Accounts

Hello,

I am wondering if PunBB can use the same user account and password from other database.

I am doing a site like business link directory and classified. There I have registration for member(user) and login for member area. But I also using PunBB on the same site if users wish to discuss in the forum. In this case, normal user might confuse that they have to register again for the forum login.

If there easy advise I can get here or someone can help for such intergration will be very nice.

I will be awaiting to any response here.

Thanks in advance.

Re: User Accounts

Your easiest method would be to use PunBB to manage users, then integrate that into your other site via this method:

Thanks Matt.

It would be nice if PunBB can handle the users from the main site so that normally people login to the main site will be automatically logged in to PunBB and using forum without next step of registration and login again differently.

If someone can do this for my website, I would be appreciated and also willing to pay for such job. Or if there any guide or tutorial for this option.

Expecting to receive some responses.
