I am looking for a forum that I can integrate into my existing db. - Fri. May 1, '09 9:25 PM ( #1 )

We have a site which you login to already and would like to use the existing members without creating new accounts. is this possible? Also our site was written in .ASP if that would matter or not. but .aspx is supported on the server. I would appreciate a speedy response. thanks.

Hi,

Since you are using the ASP for your site, you can import your existing users to our database using the "fast member import" feature in the software.

To use the "fast member import" feature, you just prepare a list of your current users, one member per line, in the following format:

Login, email, password

e.g.

Samuel, abc@def.com, password

And then copy&paste the list into a text box in the forum control panel to import your users to our software.

Take a look at this article to see how it can be done in ASP.NET.

I will see what my options are and get back to you. Thanks..

Hi,

thanks for your reply. Another option will be to call the stored procedure (spRegister) directly. It is a simple stored procedure that you can call that will automatically add users to our forum database from your ASP code.
