Let's see if I understood right.
I modify my site registration code to create members in both my site DB and punBB DB with the same username and pwd.
When a member log into the site, I create a punBB cookie containing that username so punBB thinks he registered in the forum already.
Ok, then how do I replace the login box and register button in punBB to be the one pointing to my community site?

Can I disable the profile function in punBB?
Also, I would like to change the code in the author box on the left.
E.g. when I click on "Smartys", it would make a request to my community site to retrieve that profile.
And there would also be more fields showing in that box retrieved from my community DB (profile image, ...)

I will look into that bridge code as well.

Thanks for your help so far.

Hi,

I have been browsing around PunBB and this forum and I like the style of it. I would like to integrate a similar BB to my existing community website.
However, after reading few posts, it seems that PunBB cannot re-use an existing user database.
All members on my site already have a username/pwd.

I would like to do the following:
- Members who have logged into the site, can go to the forum section and won't need to log in again
- Visitors who didn't log in, can go to the forum section but won't be able to post and so on. The regisration/login will be done by the site, not the forum.
- Post author information (username, picture, ...) will come from their profile on my community site.

Is it something feasible or I should look for another BB?
I cannot change my existing login/authentication (session based) process in the community website to be replaced by the one of the forum.

Thanks,
Julien
