X-Cart forums

[Jon]

Can somebody give me some feedback on how it may be possible to integrate vbulletin for just one member group. Say, just providers are able to access the bulletin board, or just partners are able to access ?

Would anybody else be interested in this?

Just add this to the user profile menu.

Thanks Boomer. I got that stuff pretty down pat, I was looking at something a bit more major, like database integration to keep the logins consistent.

Thanks.

Would require alot more php coding wise, mainly just inserting SQL statements in certain places that would have to a) switch databases and b) insert the same username/pwd info from the x-cart db.

Either way it can be somewhat of a lengthy process. Btw, why vbulletin, not to fond of phpBB?

[Jon]

I don't like phpbb much because of the difficulty in customizing the look of it. Vbulletin is nice and easy

[Jon]

I'd prefer to use x-cart's database, and then some how incorporate vbulletin to use the same login and password.

Is there a way to do this using the username as a join or something?

We are willing to pay? We're a multi-million dollar operation, money is not an issue, can this be done and who wants to do it? Jon, azure and a dozen others can pitch in money and everyone can get the hack and everyone will be fine and dandy, ya hearing this folks?

Whoever wants the VB/X-CART hack PM me, I'll organize it and i'll get a FAT check out to whoever wants to do the hack and will distribute the hack to other interested parties for a nominal price.

I'm a small, non-multi-million dollar company, that can pitch in some money from petty cash

there are over a dozen folks, probably more like several dozen folks and the cost of the hack divided up will probably be more then affordable. Just did a quickie search and found 15 people wanting this, got bored and stopped looking for more, let's get rolling. I say we get it integrated with the latest 3.4.1 version also.

I have an extra owned license of X-cart and i have an extra owned license of VB, the latest versions set up on a test server, ready and waiting for integration.


Funky, Boomer, Shan, hell even rrf? this is your chance to test your php skillz, can you do it?

[Jon]

The scope of integration will need to be defined as well, starting with the integration of the username and password and expanding from there.
