i hope i'm posting this in the correct forum.
a little history: my website started life as a simple html site with phpbb as its main feature. at work, i'm an asp-head. before i migrated my site to a linux server for budget reasons, i had never touched php in my life. it's been three months and i feel like i've got a pretty good running start with php.
i stumbled onto XOOPS and it's been one of the best things i've done for my site. huge props to the developers and community for making this thing great. it's what sets XOOPS apart from everything else. but when i installed xoops, my phpbb already had special programmed features in it that i can't reproduce with XOOPS newbb. the obvious solution: keep phpbb with my special features and find a way to integrate it into xoops. i've seen examples of this done (i.e.
FFDatabase) but in my quest for knowledge, i've been unable to determine how this was done.
i read a post about a week ago in which it was possible to migrate the users of phpbb to XOOPS newbb through the phpbb2newbb hack. works fantastic. i simply went back in to the modules admin and deactivated the newbb module, thus keeping the migration.
however...
a user still must login twice. once for my XOOPS area and once for my phpbb area. i know there's a way to change the sql query statement to join the phpbb and XOOPS login query, thus effectively logging in the user in both areas.
my question is this: where would i put this in xoops? what file handles that particular sql query. and what would be the most efficient sql query to handle this task?
you guys have been great with helping me thus far. i know that at least through google, page ranking is determined based upon crosslinks. i don't have any money to donate for those that help, nor do i expect anyone to expect it in return, but i feel that those who have helped me along my path for greatness should be rewarded in some way. so... for those that hook me up on the tips can choose to let me give them a crosslink in the hopes of upping their google page ranking. i know it's not much, but it's the best i can do for you guys at the moment.
thanks in advance!
