Hi guys i have a phpbb2 and phpbb3 on same site. When a user registers on phpbb2 he is also entered in phpbb3, But the stupid BOTS are kind of messing around.
Example
When JOE registers on phpbb2 he is entered on phpbb3 so if his ID is 100 then I can link all things on phpbb2 like this
[login to view URL];amp;u=100
BUT the problem is that BOTS are activated to join so when a bot registers automatically via phpbb3 he takes over place 101 and phpbb2 never finds out about it obviously.
so when
TINA joins phpbb2 and is entered onto phpbb3 she would have 101 on phpbb3 while 102 on phpbb3.. get it :)
So in a way BOTS are coming in the way. So what I need is this..
in phpbb2 it's possible to link to a profile like this
viewprofile&u=USERNAME
but in phpbb3 doing that returns nothing i HAVE to put in userid
can any of you activate this so I can just put
/forum/[login to view URL];amp;u=USERNAME
So then I would have no trouble linking to wrong userid as username is unique. But then I would also need to be sure that private msg link works too. like this
/forum/[login to view URL];amp;mode=compose&u=USERNAME
now it works only like this
/forum/[login to view URL];amp;mode=compose&u=26429
