I am not sure where these questions fit. I hope someone can help me.
Can I register users programmatically provided that we already know their username/password combinations? Or, maybe we can insert users directly to the users tables on MySQL from a remote application (not SMF). By "users" table, I am referring to the table that SMF uses to validate accounts.
I am trying to remove the manual registration and approval by the MOD. When a user registers on my web site, I would like to register them with the SMF software as well.
Thanks for your time.
look at SSI.php
Also take a look at the smf-joomla bridge (v1.1.7) which uses some of the integration functions... The only problem with passing the information into the SMF database is the passwords use a salted SHA1 encyrption...
