Hello, I have searched through a few pages and didn't see anything for this.
I am currently using JROX JAM (an affiliate management script). It is the main portion of my site, and we offer the forums for people to go for help and learning.
I could write something up possibly, but wondering if there is already a script I that would automatically create vbulletin accounts.
For example: Add an onsubmit call to the jrox signup form. Have it using the username and password they use to create the main account, pass it to the script and automatically create then vbulletin account as well. This way they don't have to go through another step, and can login to the forums using their same username and password. I would then make the forums so they can't register. That way the forum is only available to our members. And also we can link the two accounts so if they spam or need banned, we know their JROX JAM account too (since its the same username). Then we can compare usernames, and ban via IP address/range if necessary.
I was using htaccess to only allow people to visit the site from a link on our members area, but that restricts people to going to the forums directly. Also it messes up in IE. And if you forget your password and it gets emailed to you, when you click the link to reset your pass, it wont let you in because you werent referred from our site.
So this would be the best way, and would make the experience on our forums 100x better for the users.
If you are needing an example, the site is bearmarketingsystem.com , I am the co-owner there and do all the coding. Check out the signup form and see what you can come up with. Or maybe there is already some script or a tutorial somewhere.
Thanks a lot in advance!!!
