Ideally the users. I'm creating a new version of my site, and I have installed WordPress, and planning on installing phpBB 3 once it is offically released.

I want a visitor to be able to create an account on either phpBB3 or WordPress, and have an automated system duplicate the information to the other database; and I've come here for help.

If any of you can help, much appreciated! I will provide as much info as I can via this thread, other info will be sent through PM's.

Here's some specs (sorry, no formatting ):

~User info should be editable/deletable when a user changes any part of their information or I delete an account.
~Possibly a dynamic system so I can duplicate the file(s) when I add a photo gallery - developer yet to be determined - I'm planning on adding a photo gallery supplied by my web host, however.

And thats about it. If I'm too vague on details, say so. I myself feel like I left some vital info out, but since I have a crunch on time, I have no time to check

Thanks!

You'd have to just figure out what columns comprise the respective user tables, write two functions, one for phpBB-->WordPress and one visa-versa, and have each function automatically determine whether to add a new user or update an existing user.

Heres what I would do: Make both registration forms include the same functions file, then when someone registers a new user, make it add to both WordPress and the phpBB DB. Now, this may take a bit of research to find out how each system registers new users to the DB, but thats what I would do. Another reason why this is a good idea, is a lot of the time I like to study how other systems work, so I can make mine better. By studying phpBB and WordPress's code, you can learn a lot even if you're experienced.

Another way to do it is like this:
If referrer==WordPress Register Form
then after WordPress registers user, submit the same info to the phpBB Register form. and return to the system the user originally registered on.

Ya know, to include both functions sounds quite logical. I'll check it out

Thanks Swivel

Of course. Tell me how it works out.
