    I have amember v4 working fine.

    I have phpbb v3.0.7 working fine.

    Bothe have approx 130 members.

    I would like a way to check if amember members are already setup in phpbb, and is they are not then add selected amember members to phpbb, using the same login details (email, username, password)

    Is this possible with the phpbb plugin?

    "Create aMember Users By Demand"
    silently create customer in aMember if
    user tries to login into aMember with
    the same username and password as for Phpbb
    You should be able to use this, amember will then create a user in amember, when someone logs into amember with a phpbb3 login.

    davidm1, have integrated and configured phpBB3 as mentioned. I see the users in both phpBB3 as well as aMember, however the user is not recognized by phpBB3. Any suggestions?

    Do you mean you can't login with the same login/password as in aMember?
    Have you tried to login through amember itself and then go to forum?
    If plugin was configured right, you should be logged in forum already.

    Check out your minimum aMember user length. If the user that was created in phpBB was less than that minimum (because phpBB allows it), it can't "sync" and thus won't create in aMember.

    For example, say rmara = Robert Mara (random guess)
    If aMember requires minimum 6 character userids, but phpbb allowed minimum 4 character userids, then user "rmara" won't sync/create in aMember.

    It's been a few months but that happened to me and that's the essence of what I recall finding out. Though I can't remember if I fully tested it (your scenario phpbb into aMember) or whether I just went back to aMember, made sure it was minimum of 6 and then aMember propogated it into phpbb.

    Let us know if that gets you going down the right track.
