How are users identified?
-
Hi,
I am wondering how the pkugin identifies whether users in word-press are already in phpbb? Or how phpbb users, navigating to WordPress already have an account?
Is it by username or email, or a combination?I have WordPress users and I have phpbb users, they have different usernames but the same email addresses.

About release as i can! +- soon … Or someone else put an eyes into or dive into!
No: if an user exist into WP, as it has been added using an email and an username, than the next, that should be added using same email or username, will not be able to login into WP, nor will be added into WP. The plugin will answer with nothing, page will refresh, nothing will happen.
in theory:
if two users are in phpBB with same email or usermail, than in WP it will be one as in WP it isn’t possible.
This is not a problem, it will be the same user in WP.
If there are users in phpBB with same username but different email or the contrary, only one will be added, the first that will visit WP side as logged in phpBB, or the first of these that will login WP side.was not pass, but email on last answer.
About password, it will happen with transfer process of users from WP to phpBB. Yes same username, will be overwritten about email and passw if same username will be find out.
The phpBB user will NOT be added other time into WP. As above (maybe bad explained) said, if an user is find out into phpBB db with same email address, but different username when he try to login or come to WP as logged, IS NOT added into WP- NOR can login.
p.s in true if:
user A into phpBB with email C
user B into WP with email Cuser A into phpBB come to try to login WP: NOT added can’t login WP side.
If you use the transfer process of WP users into phpBB:
user A Same above.
user B has been transferred into phpBB, and he now can login into both.Two users into phBB with same email, that is possible as option into phpBB.
the joke explained, if i’m not wrong.
p.s correction: as above write it seem that more than one user in phpBB can have same email and pass: this is not true. An user can have same email, not same username, if there is another equal. Username can be changed in phpBB, only if the new one you choose, not exist.
