    Hello

    Grateful for any assistance with this one.

    Within my amember-protected membership site I have ecard software that also requires a login/password so members can use the full functionality. I have code that enables users to log into amember and also the ecard system with the same credentials from login.php. However, in order to accomplish this I need to manually enter the amember login credentials into the ecard system after the user has signed up through amember (hope this makes sense!). After this, all works ok with the one login.

    What I don't know how to do is to automatically copy the data entered on signup from the amember tables into the corresponding ecard ones.

    Anyone got any ideas?

    Hi Dave,

    What you are describing can be accomplished via a plugin. Is there a web service or API for your ecard program that allows for the automating of creating userids?

    Hi

    Yes, it does sound like I described a plugin (in a more verbose manner!). Unfortunately there's nothing available like you suggest for the ecard program.

    Looks like I'll need one created so will be happy to pay for someone's expertise here.

    If anyone wants to have a go the ecard program collects the following info at sign-up:

    first name, last name, email address, user id, password.


    It puts these into a table called maxmem_ecuser. The relevant fields are:

    user_name, user_last_name, user_email, user_name_id, user_password.


    Happy to pay the going rate for a plugin.

    Hi Dave,

    Which ecard software do you use? Do you know if a web service or API available?

    The software is Ecard Max (www.ecardmax.com). There's no API available as far as I'm aware.

    Please do keep us posted -- I saw this program last summer and I'm hoping to have my organization to purchase them as part of our membership benefits.

    Checked into it, he is correct that there is no API available for it so it will need to be done via a direct Db call unfortunately.

    Hopefully Larry gets you sorted!

    Apologies for the delay here. I didn't want to leave this thread open-ended. I've successfully got the 2 programs integrated by a genius called adnanraja at rentacoder dot com in double-quick time and at an excellent price. Unfortunately the amember guys were too snowed under when I contacted them.

    If you need to see the ecard program in action prior to any purchasing decisions then pop along to themagicofscotland dot com/freecards.

    Hope this helps.
