Import, not share DB from vB

[timallen82]

I have a vB site with a lot of members.

I have installed PP Classifieds on a separate domain because I would like to open up the Classifieds to new members not associated with my vB site.

I would like for my exisiting vB members to use their same login info for PP Classifieds.

I understand that once installation is done, the DB will not include NEW members registering on my vB site after the PP Class install. That's fine.

I just want to know how to import the user info from my vB DB to my PP Classifieds install so I can immediately have a lot of members ready to use the site.

Thanks!

Well the most direct and accurate answer here is you can not without alot of work on your part. The integrations we support mean we authenticate against a forum database to grab user information or you can install the product as a standalone meaning you it uses its own database. You have done that later which is fine and will work without issues. Plenty of users run standalone sites without a forum. However if you wish to have users on your classifieds they need to register on that site. The only way you can get your vb users there without your users registering would be for you to write an import script to grab those vb users from vb and import the proper info into your classifieds users table. I know of no scripts since you are actually doing the complete opposite of what the normal integration procedure is.
