About setting up an account system to MyBB Forum - serveradmin - 09-22-2017 02:40 AM

I want to set an auto account system which will create in-game accounts according to the registeration on my "Mybb" forums. Shortly, forum accounts will create in-game accounts. Is there a way to do that? I guess there is..
I've a little knowledge about mysql so that iff you can clearly explain it to me I'll be grateful.

Best wishes

the basic behavior to create the account can be easily done, but maybe an complete engine to sync perfectly every single data will be a hard task even for expert developers

basically you will need to do all these checks:
- setup sphere SQL to connect on this same SQL server
- edit your MyBB account database to add an new entry like "account_is_created_ingame" = true/false, using "false" as default value
- create an function on sphere that will run at every X minutes, to connect on SQL and search login/password of accounts with "account_is_created_ingame = false"
- if the search return an value, create these accounts using the login/password from SQL and change the SQL entry to "account_is_created_ingame = true"

with this code sphere will created the account when the MyBB account got created. But now the hard task is create more functions to sync the data of both accounts:
- ingame account must be deleted when forum account got deleted
- forum account must be deleted when ingame account got deleted
- ingame password must be changed when forum password got changed
- forum password must be changed when ingame password got changed
- etc
