Integrate Established ReviewPost with New Phpbb forum?
 

Hello...

I've been using ReviewPost on my site since June...I love it. Now, I am creating a forum with phpbb and would like to have my ReviewPost users login to the forums with the usernames they already have from the review board. How do I integrate all of this together? I'm not too technical, so I hope this isn't too hard.

Thanks,
Carolyn

What is your phpbb table structure?

Basically you have two choices here

1. You register the user's one by one in phpbb with the same userid they have in reviewpost by hand

or

2. You write an import script to import the users into phpbb from reviewpost.

There are going to be some steps you need to do to reviewpost to get it to look for phpbb2 but before such time I think we need to figure out how your going to do step1

Hi Chuck,

Thanks for your reply. To answer your first question, I have no idea how my phpbb tables are structured. I don't know what that means.

I don't know how to write a script to import the users into phpbb from reviewpost, so do you mean my only other option is to manually add the username info from review post into phpbb for each person that wants to register on the forum? That means they couldn't register on their own for the forum? This would add more work for me. Do you know of anyone who could help me write a script to import the users into phpbb from reviewpost?

Thanks,
Carolyn
