Topic: Integrated Login

I am integrating PunBB into my web site.  I already have a mySQL database with a users table.  Is it possible to do the following?

When a user registers with the web site write the appropriate information into the PunBB user table.  Then once that is done, is it possible to have a user be logged into PunBB automatically when they choose the forums option from the web site's menu by passing the username and password to PunBB?

Re: Integrated Login

yeah this should be possible smile

When a user registers with the web site write the appropriate information into the PunBB user table.

if you have mysql 5 this would be fairly simple todo with a mysql trigger smile

Then once that is done, is it possible to have a user be logged into PunBB automatically when they choose the forums option from the web site's menu by passing the username and password to PunBB

i think this would be easyer if you would just set the correct cookie on your website on login smile
