MyBB Community Forums

I am making my website that will have the forum added to it via wordpress mu with buddypress. I have a problem though. I need to integrate the users, and neither of the wordpress mybb mods will do what I want. :p

I already have a forum set up, and it has been around a while. So somehow I need to integrate users, login, and registration. How would you suggest I go about this?

For login I was thinking just hacking wordpress to use the users from the mybb database. But I don't know how hard that would be. I suppose I should look at it. Login I have no idea what to do. :p And Registration I would probably just modify the buddypress registration script so that it sent the data to the mybb database. That would only work though if it was easy to make wordpress pull data from the mybb user table rather than it's own.

Anyways, thought I would look for suggestions in this. Anyone know where I should start?

Hi HolyPhoenix,
Existing users might be the hardest part, Wordpress users info is split into two different db tables.
Preparing to answer your question helped me find this, and I hope it is as good as the text claims.

I'm slowly dropping everything else + I hope it works, will update l8r.

It does matter what CMS...
That tutorial won't work with Drupal (for example)

Not!
HolyPhoenix, it looked good until I took the time to watch it.

Let's start over:

If (login / registration is done at Wordpress) {
send the data to this @your_MyBB_forum -->Welcome to the MyBB Integrator / MyBB SDK / MyBB API
}
The main issue with that idea is Wordpress registration doesn't collect much info, so you might need custom fields...
...and custom links to integrate password updates, email updates, sig updates, avatar, ect.

// Complete integration isn't easy, which is why the description of that video looked exciting.

Good luck...
