Thanks for the reply. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to do it. Where(what file on my server) does PunBB keep username/password data? Maybe I can configure my main site login script to use the same file.
Thanks

Topic: help this newbie! (4 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 modifications, plugins and integrations)
I think I'm having the same problem a lot of other people are. I have a web site with a members area. When a person registers they are able to get into the mebers area. The PunBB board is in the members area. I want the registered members to be able to use their existing username/password to access the forum without having to register for the forum.
My registration/login for the members area uses a ".htpasswd" file to store/retreive usernames/passwords.
Is there any way to make PunBB look at this file(.htpasswd) and let the member login to the board?
I've seen a few questions about this here and even a few answers. Unfortunitly most of us don't understand the lingo used. If we were that smart we would have created our own board and not needed this one.
Example...one said "oh, just add this blah blah blah"...ok fine. Add it where? what file? what part of the file?
A few even said "if you know php you can......" Well if I knew PHP I'd just do it and not ask..lol
Please help!!
Thanks
