Is there a way to add new users in the background?

[Carzboy]

Hi all,

I have this website where i already have my user tables and my login procedures.
But is it possible when new users register on my website it also creates a user for the phpbb forum?

Hope to hear from you guys.

Kind regards

It is possible but not without some form of connection. Without knowing how you currently handle user registrations and how your website is set up it is impossible to give you any kind of answer on how to achieve this

phpBB supporls LDAP. This explains more - https://connect2id.com/products/ldapauth/auth-explained

Haven't used it but AFAIK you can do it with phpBB's CLI.

Thanks for all the help so far!

I use this and i got a record in the database added so far im cool but after the insert the forum was not accesable anymore.
When i got that sorted out i'll let you know.

Code: Select all

<?php

/*$user_row = array(
        'username'          => "NAME",
        'user_password'     => "PASSWORD",
        'user_email'        => "EMAIL",
        'group_id'          => 2,
        'user_type'         => 0,
    );*/
  function NewUser($user_row) 
  {
    global $phpbb_container;
    global $phpbb_dispatcher;
    global $db, $config;
    global $table_prefix;
    define('IN_PHPBB', true);
    global $phpbb_root_path;
    global $phpEx;
    $phpbb_root_path = './forum/';
    $phpEx = 'php';
    
    include($phpbb_root_path . 'common.php');
    include($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/functions_user.php');
    
		return user_add($user_row);
	}



?>

Well i got it work.
I can use the functions from phpbb to create a new user and validate his password.

When someone signs up at my website it automatically makes an account in PhpBB as well.
I use the same password complexity from PhpBB for my own website so in general it should work when a user logins on my website it also logs in on the phpbb forum.

I use this code;

Code: Select all

<?php
function HashPassword($Password) 
{
    global $phpbb_container;
    global $phpbb_dispatcher;
    global $db, $config;
    global $table_prefix;
    define('IN_PHPBB', true);
    global $phpbb_root_path;
    global $phpEx;
    $phpbb_root_path = './forum/';
    $phpEx = 'php';
    
    include($phpbb_root_path . 'common.php');
    include($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/functions_user.php');
    
    $passwords_manager = $phpbb_container->get('passwords.manager');
    
return $passwords_manager->hash($Password);
}

function NewUser($UserName, $Password, $Email) 
{
    global $phpbb_container;
    global $phpbb_dispatcher;
    global $db, $config;
    global $table_prefix;
    define('IN_PHPBB', true);
    global $phpbb_root_path;
    global $phpEx;
    $phpbb_root_path = './forum/';
    $phpEx = 'php';
    
    include($phpbb_root_path . 'common.php');
    include($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/functions_user.php');
    
    $passwords_manager = $phpbb_container->get('passwords.manager');
    
    $user_row = array(
        'username'          => $UserName,
        'user_password'     => $passwords_manager->hash($Password),
        'user_email'        => $Email,
        'group_id'          => 2,
        'user_type'         => 0,
    );
    
    //user_add from 'includes/functions_user.php' which returns userid.
return user_add($user_row);
}
?>
