Linking forums to ingame names.

[Sharpienero]

How does one link in-game names to the forum? I know it's possible, and you probably just switch a value in MYSQL, but could someone give me a run down?

Thanks.

For IPB, you have all the SQL files in one database (including a table for usernames and passwords). What you need to do is change the way the information is stored in the SQL DB for IPB and change it to make it use the username and password table in your Ragnarok DB. I don't know which files exactly in the IPB structure that needs to be changed because I haven't gotten that far yet =/

Thanks, but I need a guide. Maybe someone will post it here.

Bump.

I've searched for quite some time.. and I've asked about it before. No idea where a guide would be. Only people with high knowledge of PHP know how to do it without hassle =/

I know that some forums use a special encryption system on their passwords (I've only tested with phpBB, but I imagine IPB would do the same), so just linking the databases wouldn't be enough. You might be able to turn this off? Correct me if I'm wrong.

There is no database encryption. If you mean specifically, passwords: then they are saved as a md5 hash of the plain text password which itself is hashed with a random 5 character salt.

P.S - I meant log in for the ingame is the same as for the forums. Passwords too.
