For registering you will want to just push them to the phpbb3 registration.  It's best not to try and reinvent that wheel in my opinion.

Did you look at the link I posted it has everything you need for login.  As I stated you probably don't want to redo the registration part, just push them to the phpbb registration instead.

by: jamie_2008Posted on 2008-09-19 at 10:22:29ID: 22523387

i dont want to push the users to go there ..


for login as well as register .

Well then you need to take the input giving during your login and validate it against phpbb3.  You can use login() in includes/auth.php auth class as a template on what you need to do.  Or you can include that whole auth class and use it as it is but you will need to include the rest of the required files as well.

For registration you need to use the ucp_register class in includes/ucp/ucp_registe.php or simply take the required values, username, password, email, etc and put them into the users table using your own form.  For the password you will need to run phpbb_hash() against it see includes/functions.php
