Manually Add Members

[JamesNorman]

Hi,

I am currently building a new site and am also running SMF 1.1.4 along side it. My aim is to integrate my site and the forum by when the user signs up at my site i can insert data in the forum database at the same time. After looking at the database structure of SMF, there a few questions i would like someone to answer before i attempt to integrate my site and the forum:
1) Apart from the "members" table, are there any other tables that i will need to input the users data into?
2) What form of encryption is in use for the password field in the members table?

Thanks

1) You don't actually need to add things to the database yourself. You can use the 'registerMember()' function from the 'Subs-Members.php' file to do it. Below is an example of how you can use that function.

Remember that you will have to include the 'SSI.php' and 'Subs-Members.php' files before you called the 'registerMember' function.

2) SMF uses sha1 along with a salt of the username.

You can use this code to encrypt the password:

Code Select Expand

sha1(strtolower($username) . $password);
