Editing Invision Board Code

Post by nigma »

Hey, I have a friend who uses Invision Board as his sites forum and he wants to make it so that when someone signs up with Invision it also adds their username and pass to a different mySQL dbase that he has. I was thinking all you would have to do is add a bit of code to do that inside the file that handles the submitted registration forms correct?

Is there anything wrong with doing that?

I cannot think of any reason why it wouldn't work but I prefer not to test it until I am somewhat sure that it will work since it is not my Invision Board to screw up.

Thanks for any help provided.

i'm not sure you CAN do that. check the dl agreement. a lot of places limit the mods you can make and use it for free.

if that's allowed without buying the right, then theoretically he'd have to open a second db hanle when the registration goes through, add what's needed tot he second db, and close that handle...but he'd have to have that INSIDE a test that makes sure the registration went through, so you need to know where that ends, and set a variable to use as a lock on the new function or loop
