How does one sync up account creation on scratchR to an installed fluxBB forum?

Magic. Rhy did it, hahah. I would link to the site, but I'd get banned.
Anyway, help? ;)

Why would you be banned? And how can I contact RHY to help me?

It has a bit of swearing on some project comments, but that's all.
You can probably contact Rhy on his wobsite, which I also cannot link to

Maybe you just don't have the classiness to figure it out. Or maybe you found the site..... er....yeah. Anyway, please stick to your own topic that is about getting it to work. This is about getting the forums to work, and I'd like that to be the main focus.

I don't know of any easy way to do this since I have not seen the code for Scratchr, you may have to learn a bit of php, sql on your own. Basically, if you look in your mysql data base for the Scratchr members, you should find a list of user names and a bunch of passwords encrypted with md5. First, you need to copy those users and passwords and paste them in to the forum's username and password tables. Now that you have it so all existing users are on the forums, you have to alter the sign up .php files so that when they add the user to the scratchr user tables they add the same data to the forum's user tables.

You could adjust FluxBB/ScratchR to use the same user table. I would adjust FluxBB since all the database stuff is in one class. You just need to do a regular expression find/replace on the query to find queries referencing the FluxBB users table and make them go to the ScratchR one instead. Don't forget to create all the extra fields FluxBB requires in the ScratchR table, and to port the data across.

Not working yet
The forums still need to be signed up on separately

You already got 2 posts explaining ways to do it, the administrators won't tell you anything different.

That's the problem; those ways don't go into specifics. The administrators who have hooked up the forum can explain it more thoroughly than someone who "hasn't looked at the ScratchR source"
And builder, I meant the Scratch admins

Oh. Do you mind shutting down your site. I don't think should be so rude. Or at least add rules.

Hmm... do the two at least work on the same database?
If so, it's only a problem of cookies (i'm guessing).
If not, then sorry, but I haven't looked at the source either and can't help.

Are we talking about the website?
Please stick to that topic for discussing the website
This one is for forum connection
To be more specific,
How does one link that Scratch database to the forum database?
They're incompatible

I'm talking about what I'm supposed to talk about; "Hooking up FluxBB to ScratchR".
I was just asking if the two were hooked up but logged on separately, or simply not working at all.

That post was meant for the guy above you
To answer your question: yes, they are both hooked up but the databases are incompatible. They are the same type that's used for the scratch forums, so I was wondering what steps they took to make them compatible
