Help needed in integrating my site with PHPBB3

[sunils]

I have installed the phpbb3 forum script. And i want my site to use the tables of phpbb3 for user authentication and information storage, registration etc.

I have heard about phpbb3 bridges for cms scripts. But i need one for my site.

I was successful in using the user authentication of phpbb3, but the message " you have successfully logged onto the forum " is displayed in the phpbbforum page in between the redirection to my page.

any help to build the bridge will be appreciated.

Which CMS are you using? I think i could help you if it is e107.

I am not using any cms, i am designing the entire site by myself.

This is a hugely tricky area and I have tried on numerous occasions to integrate phpBB3 into the rest of my site.

The main user table is (in my site) phpbb_users, within which are the usernames and passwords needed for secure authentication. (not sure what the password encryption is though)

However, on my site, I now have two independent databases and have to reference both to get the two to work simulaneously.

I have independent connection scripts which are called with every page I need access to both.

<?php require_once('../Connections/main.php');
require_once('../Connections/forum.php'); ?>

Either can be called within the same page.

Although phpBB3 is perfect in its own right - its soooo complex to customise!!!

Thank you for you information. I was successfull in integrating the authentication system with my site. but the transition to the profile page take a little time since another phpbb pages comes in between both the login page and profile page, i want to elliminate that.

Okay, what pages are you getting between the profile and login pages?

its the default page of phpbb3 saying you have successfully logged into the site. i want to avoid this from appearing.
