Whats up.
I'm looking for some information about linking a vBulletin user database with my actual website's database. I do already have a users table, users have their main website profiles and all, but I would also like them to be able to use the same account on the forum (forum not up yet)
So is it fairly simple to do that? I'm simply asking because I have no clue, and don't know where to start!
Any help would be really appreciated!
unless you want to do some serious editing to the vbulletin code i suggest using vbulletin's user table for everything. if you did the main site yourself it should be alot easier for you to edit it then to edit vb.
just connect to the database like normal. then use mysql to check their username/password like so:
SELECT * FROM `usertable` WHERE `username` = '$username' AND `password` = MD5(CONCAT(MD5('$password'),salt)) LIMIT 1
if you need to include extra data for your main site be careful just adding rows to the user table as vbulletin doesnt like that. few ways around it
make a vb plugin to the "userdata_start" hook with this code:
$this->validfields['custom_usertable_row'] = array(TYPE_INT, REQ_YES);
change TYPE_INT if your not saving an integer. and REQ_YES if the row can be null.
add custom user profile fields. from the admincp User Profile Fields>Add User Profile Field
it will add the field to a different table called userfield which you can get by joining the tables in a query
SELECT user.username, userfield.field1 FROM user LEFT JOIN userfield ON user.userid=userfield.userid
make your own table and join like above.

I have multiview in Magento 2 website, I want to reset the order id and I have to change the starting number of the order id. (ex: 100000100)
Please help to resolve the issue
Thanks in advance.
Open your PHP Admin database
Find & click on the table called: sequence_order_1 (it is located in the database itself, not in the information_schema )
Click on the "Operations" tab & under the "AUTO_INCREMENT" edit to the desired order number.
I have created a ASP.net core web app with user authentication. The user authentication has been auto-implemented and it works like a charm. However, I need to do 2 things:
-Add a text field 'Name' to the user registration
-Write a record into another (custom-made) table when AspNetUsers is written to.
However, I can't seem to find where (meaning in what file/method) either of these things can be done.
I tried and debugged the web app, but it didn't help.
As I expect that IdentityUsers are written to the data base using DbContext.Add, I also searched for that but didn't help either.
Thank you in advance.
The following article explains everything: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/security/authentication/scaffold-identity?view=aspnetcore-2.1&tabs=visual-studio .
I want to upload course using upload courses menu.
and i want to import the id with the other fields.
I tried "id","shortname","fullname","category" as a filed on the csv.But it uses incremented id instead.
Oh and i want the same thing for user too.
That cannot be done - all ids in Moodle are automatically generated, in order to make sure they always uniquely identify the item (course, user, etc).
Instead of trying to identify the course by id, you should look at identifying it by shortname or idnumber.
I'm working on a Sitecore 8 Update 2 site.
I'm also using the web forms for marketers.
I've set up a login and register form using WFFM. I was able to link fields on the form with the fields of the user profile ( the one used in User Management )
However when i want to make a "Update Contact Details" i can't link the fields on the form with the profile fields as before. Now i have to select a "contact facet". I added one of these and WFFM picked up on this, so now i can link the field on the form with a facet.
The last link i'm missing is linking this facet ( stored in Analytics - MongoDB ) to the profile field.
Does anyone know how to achieve this ?
Bonus: This started off as a slighty different question, you can read more about this issue here:
How to update sitecore user with webforms for marketers ( Update Contact Details )
First you need to add the Create User Save Action and setup the email address as the username.
Then you need to add the User login Save Action straight after that. This is because the Update Contact Details Save action only applies to logged in users.
Then you can use the Update Contact Details Save Action. This action will create data in MongoDB under the logged in user name - so if you go to the Identifiers collection MongoDB a new entry will be created (See screen shot below).
So in short the aspnet_membership data and the MongoDB data is linked via the username in WFFM. In aspnet_users - UserName and in MongoDB by way of an identifier. You can't mix the MongoDB and aspnet_profile data they belong in two separate places.
So once you have created this user in WFFM you could call up their details using the analytics API using the identifier:
Tracker.Current.Session.Identify(username);
var personalInfo = Tracker.Current.Contact.GetFacet<IContactPersonalInfo>("Personal");
Hope that makes sense :)
I'm using Drupal 6.16: When a user creates an account on my site I have them select a category (ie children, youth, adult, etc). This is done with the select list box using the content_profile module. I have a content type that posts an announcement. In this content type is a check box that says 'email group'. Right now it does nothing, but what I would like for it to do is e-mail all the users that are associated with the group they chose when signing up for their account. If this will require extra code please be specific as I am not a strong php programmer.
Thanks for the help!!

There might be some module that do it exactly, but I don't think so.
I would have done it using few building blocks:
Retrieve the list of emails using Views - define a view that gives you the addresses according to a given group argument.
Use Rules module that will send an email notification after node is created.
Combine the two (this is the hard part) - insert the values from the view as the recipients for the email. You might be able to do it using PHP inside the Rule definition, plus view execution.
Try to accomplish it, and if you get into troubles, you are welcome to contact me via shushu.i#gmail.com
I would try http://drupal.org/project/subscriptions module + http://drupal.org/project/messaging module. You can set preferences for automatic subscribing to content type. Maybe Rules module can subscribe users automatically after creating or updating content_profile. Or maybe Rules can flag users after creating or updating content_profile and Subscription module could autosubscribe flagged users.
