Hello everyone, was hoping for some advice on a few things. . . I'm currently designing a multi-task website (mainly arcade) with a point system alongside facebook login.

I was wondering, how would i go by making my PHPBB3 Forum read the user table from my arcade site, which is as shown..

DATABASE - > Arc_users

how do i edit PHPBB3 to read Arc_users instead of it's automatically installed table. Am i right by thinking "functions_user.php" is the file to edit?

you will probably be better off building your site AROUND phpbb.

phpbb uses its own encryption system that wont read (as far as i know) your normal MD5/SHA1 encryption. but if you want it to read from your own table, you need to edit the includes->constants.php file.

good luck, but it could be a real biach working around it.
