Hello,
I am developing a pool site where people can sign up and log in and play pool against each other. The users are stored in a mysql database and I keep track of the currently logged in user using a session variable. I would like to extend my site with a message board, but I wouldn't want to re-invent the wheel since I believe there are plenty of good message board softwares. However, the problem with, for example, phpBB is that it uses its own set of database tables and it's own sign up and log in procedure. I wounder if there are a message board out there that I can configure and tell to use my existing db table and my existing session var to keep track of who is logged in and posts on the board. Does anyone know?
I know that phpBB has the ability to import users from an existing database, but this is not really what I want. I would like to be able to tell it to use my existing database.
All help much appreciated!
