PHPRunner General questions

ERuiz author

Hello all,
I installed the trial version of PHPRunner, and before deciding on whether to purchase it or not, I need to get the login script to allow me to use the current VBulletin username/password fields.
I tried a solution given on another thread, where it said to check (enable) encrypt password on PHPRunner AND manually edit the login.php file, to include md5() on the password variable.
This did not work. It would still not recognize me. One question I have is whether md5 and md5hash are two different things?
I ask, before on the bridge module I have to bridge my VBulletin installation with my Joomla installation, it seems that their login script is using md5hash instead of simply md5.
Hope someone can give me a hand with this, since this will definitely determine whether I purchse PHPRunner or not.
Regards,
Efrain Ruiz

Efrain,
as far as I know Joomla uses Salt values to encrypt passwords.

Here is the encryption algorythm:

$pass = md5($pass);

$pass = md5($pass.$salt);


salt values are stored in separate table, something like ..._salt.
