MyBB Community Forums

I would like to create an independent login system that stores user information(name, password, address, etc...).

Can MyBB be told to use the user name and password to create a corresponding user automatically on the forum AND correlate the cookies between the two?

Basically when either account is created/logged in I want a corresponding account created/logged in. (nonforum account <--> forum account)

I'm sure there is some code that already handles all this?

You want to integrate login system to your e.g. website (other then forum) ? if so, see this: http://community.mybb.com/thread-60422.html

Yes, I saw that already. It is one way though. I want a bidirectional log in system. I saw

which could allow one to write a non-forum log in that would create a forum user when a new user is created... and one could probably create a mod for MyBB that would do the reverse(create a non-forum user when a forum user is created).

I'd rather have MyBB simply link to the non-forum based user data and use that so that which would be easier...

In any case I am simply trying to avoid having two require the user to deal with two accounts. The non-forum account needs to store custom information not related to the forum. (in fact I would like to keep the separate if possible)

I'm sure someone has come up against this issue and has already done the work?!?!?
