It's a good start but that's about it, and since the developer unfortunately saw fit to encrypt their source code (something neither XC nor VB do) you have no hope of hacking additional functionality into the script yourself, nor indeed is there any reason to trust the security of the code.

I'm not offering the source code as I've had many others rip me off for the phpBB mod, It's just protection of my interest. I'd be more than happy to customize it if need be and resend you the code without question.

Copy and paste the defined sections in the file register.php of this archive into your existing one. All code segments are commented with #-=-=-=-=-=

...while register.php constitutes 22 additional kb of code you can't realistically alter anyway, for the life of me I cannot see why the instructions don't tell you to just replace the existing register.php file. And here's something else they don't tell you before you buy the script (in the readme file):

This is only a one way integration, as updating profile information in vB will not reflect in X-Cart, however you can easily change all register and profile options in vB to X-Cart's register/profile process.

I'll go ahead and apply this hack since I already paid for it and hope for upgrades, although considering the lack of a refund policy on the cart-lab site, right now I'm wishing I had spent the extra $2.90 through Paypal to guarantee my money back. You've been warned.
Sorry for the trite review Boomer, because I know this was a bit of work. As of right now though I cannot recommend your script and am uncomfortable discussing with you what else it needs to make it worth the money. Should the situation change I'll happily sing your praises to the ends of the earth. |
Simply copying the register.php is possible if your using X-Cart version 4.0 but any changes that may be made in the future to register.php in particular would be overwritten when copying over the file. It is an alternative however.
Its fairly easy to match up the code segments in the register.php in the mod with your existing one, just add the code in the same places:
Code:
# -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
#
www.cart-lab.com X-Cart vb integration
@include $xcart_dir."/cartlab-vb-integrate.php";
# -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
If you'd like me to mod your vB to go both ways, PM me. I'm more than happy to lend a hand as I've not developed this part of the mod and would require more install steps thus making it even more difficult to install and setup, which would inturn make the mod cost more.
Anyhow, My apologizes.
