Integration with VB3 after Established Gallery

[femsawyer]

I purchased Photopost a couple of months ago and just recently purchased VBulletin. Is there a way to change the from using Photopost's registration to VBulletin's registration system and maintain the current users and all of their information?

I don't want to lose any of my users by telling them that they have to start over with their gallery postings but I want to have VB and Photopost integrated as seemless as possible.

Any suggestions or information would be greatly appreciated as I've been trying to figure this out for a few days now.

Right now, I currently have Photopost version 4.8.5 installed but am wanting to upgrade to 5 at the same time.

You would need to either manually enter each user into the vb3 users tables

user
usertextfield
userfield

or write a script to import those users into VB3

Then you can switch over to vb3

I was afraid of that -
should I do this before or after the upgrade to Photopost 5?

Doesnt matter in this situation as the userid are being written into VB3 from Photopost so you can do it in any order your want.

Its not a tough thing. A simple mysql script to take the count of the pp users table and then input an entry into VB3 users table in a while loop

Plenty of documentation on the web
