Topic: Integrating existing mysql user table with PunBB

Is it possible to get PunBB to get login information from another mysql table in another database? Kind of reverse intergration.

Thanks

Re: Integrating existing mysql user table with PunBB

Since the punBB user table includes a lot more information than just the basics I think this would be difficult.
F.e. their status, register date a.s.o. you will not find in other tables.
You could import users into the punBB user table by hand and give them default values for the fields you don't have, then update them.

Re: Integrating existing mysql user table with PunBB

if password encryption was the same in both tables, u might be able to use a mysql view to do it by replacing all references to punbbs user table with a view created from yours and the punbb user table. just a thought (i am a total novice, so only take this as a sujestion)
