Auto account creation on MyBB


KuJoe

Recommended Posts

My partner and I are finishing up plugin for WHMCS that will automatically create a user on our MyBB forums and I was wondering what the interest level is here to have something like this released? Right now we're just hacking it together to suit our needs but if theres genuine interest we'll polish it up and make it publicly available. I know most companies use IPB, vB, and phpBB but I prefer MyBB over the rest so I figured others might also.

 

Just reply if you're interested and I'll get with my partner and provide some more info. ;)

 

Right now it consists of 1 hook that will generate the user in the MyBB user table using a username pulled from a Custom Field. The hook also validates the username to ensure the username is unique and valid. We've also made a small edit (1 line of code) to the clientareadetails.tpl to prevent users from changing their forum username after it's been created. We're still debating on whether or not to use the WHMCS password or to have MyBB send a random password (my preferred method for anti-spam reasons).

Not exactly. We've been using it since last November but there are some bugs we never could get worked out which prevented some orders from being placed so we decided to keep it in house instead of causing others to lose money over it. Sorry. :(

Hi,

 

I am just looking into doing this myself, would you mind sending me the code so I can try and work from that? I will of course send any progress i have with it to you so you can use it if you so wish!

 

Many Thanks,

Dan

I no longer have a WHMCS license so the plugin is no longer being developed. If anybody is interested in buying it feel free to PM me. All it is is a simple plugin to generate the MyBB account based on a custom field.
