PHPRunner General questions

My entire site is built using phprunner except the forum for which I have used phpBB bulletin board.
Is there any way that when users register for my site (not the forum) they can be automatically registered with the forum at the same time?

you should be able to add an event to the global section, on the registration page, as after successful registration page, Insert a record into another table.

Just point the other table to the PHPBBS table holding registrations.

Or you could build your sites into the same database as PHPBBS, then use the PHPBBS users table as your authentication table. That saves on data duplication

Did you try this?, and did it work?

Now I have tried it, and it doesn't work
PHPbb uses a different encryption method than PHPR. Consequently those two systems can't talk together via common username / password. A shame really, I had made a really nice application with my lists ans a forum in almost same layout.

Yeah, that is a shame, I had wondered if that would work authenticating users that way. Oh well, thanks for trying!

I am pretty sure that some other Open Source applications are engineered differently and will allow for this.
