User Duplication Issue
Sorry if I didn’t have enough time to reply your mails and post in the forums but my life is being affected by quite big changes.
Anyway, I need some suggestions from you, kind visitors and WordBB followers.
I’m working on the user duplication feature, the one that creates a MyBB user for you when you select only a WordPress user and click on the Merge button in the WordBB Users panel.
The problem is: what about the password?
I thought I could manually set the md5 hash on the MyBB database’s user record, but the thing is, WordPress no longer uses md5 passwords, but instead it now uses phpass.
I thought about the possibility of generating a random password and letting the user change it but this sounds quite weird and cumbersome to me.
Maybe I should consider dropping user duplication, but I think it could be an useful feature if implemented properly.
What do you think about this? Thanks in advance for your ideas and suggestions!
in my case are just a few users with wordpress accounts, and I don´t plan to merge them – most of them are in mybb
Don’t worry about wordpress user accounts at all. They are mostly worthless. I just really want one login database for forum and all 3 wordpress installs I have.
Hope you haven’t abandoned this project.
Hmm i dunno i don’t really think necessary its but if you want to do that just do the random password thing
