    When a member signs up thru aMember, why does it not automatically register them thru vBulletin as well?

    I'd like to use the default aMember singup page, to display all the different products, and when they register there, they automatically are registered at the forums.


    But alas, i'm no coder and dont have a clue of how it'd be done :-\

    I am having the same trouble with phpBB..

    Hi Alex, I've installed the phpBB plugin and tried to follow the instruction. Just not sure where I should perform the following changes:

    *********
    Database name and table prefix:
    Default is BLANK. Format is "database_name.table_prefix". This value must be entered, then saved twice before the remaining fields will be available.
    *********

    This is not in the phpBB admin config panel?

    BTW, is support email working? I've sent 2 emails in the past week - no response?

    Help... getting quite frustrated here...

    Finally located where I can enter the required changes below:

    ********
    Database name and table prefix:
    Default is BLANK. Format is "database_name.table_prefix". This value must be entered, then saved twice before the remaining fields will be available.
    ********

    HOWEVER - I can't get this to work.

    I have two DBs. One for amember and the other for phpBB.

    I've opened the config.php of the phpbb and got the value/s - insert that in the empty box and I kept getting error messages

    amember db name: adb
    amember username: auser
    table prefix: a_

    phpbb db name: bdb
    php username: buser
    tableprefix: b_

    what should my input be??

    :( :(

    Try
    bdb.b_

    If it displays you error that mysql user does not have access to table, go to webhosting cp and allow access for MySQL user "auser" to database "bdb".

    i have the vbulletin plugin purchased.

    I tried going to my /signup.php page, created a new account and the whole thing, then i went to go to login through my vBulletin forum with that account information i created and it did nothing. using vBulletin 3.5.3

    Is there a cron job i must wait for or am i missing something else?

    It is not enough to purchase vBulleting plugin.
    You must also upload it to your amember/ folder, and configure according to readme.txt

    Did you set something in
    aMember CP -> Manage Products : Edit : vBulletin Access for the product that was purchased?
