Hi, I have several phpBB sites pertaining to the building of experimental aircraft. I've installed dataface and have been playing around with a parts listing database. As a stand alone Dataface works great and I had a parts lists up and running in less than an hour. Great job! What I'd like to do is use the phpbb username and password tables.

[_auth]
users_table = phpbb_users
username_column = username
password_column = user_password

The problem is the passwords are stored hashed. Can I decode in the ini file, or can I pass it in some how?

Anyone up to an embedding hack, passing phpbb User ID and access levels into Dataface?

If memory serves, PHPBB uses md5 for its password encryption (correct me if I'm wrong).ÃŠ Dataface supports md5 encryption on columns

Let me know if it uses a different encryption and I'll see what we can do.

Hi Steve, I tried:

[passwd]
widget:label = "User Password"
encryption = md5

In the fields_ini and I couldn't get it to work. Then I was thinking that phpbb hashed the password in and Dataface was trying to decrypt out, and maybe that wouldn't work.

What is the name of the password column in phpbb?

is it 'user_password' or is it 'passwd'.ÃŠ Your conf.ini file would indicate that it is 'user_password, but your fields.ini file example says that it is called "passwd".ÃŠÃŠ Find the correct one, and set them in for the conf.ini file and the fields.ini file.

Best regards

Steve
