Furry stuff, oekaki stuff, and other stuff.

That's the first step, yes. However, the forum and the oekaki use different password encryption schemes, so the only way to make the boards fully universal would be, say, to update the oekaki so it uses phpBB passwords. For passwords, there's only one place for processing that information, but the admin controls would be screwed up horribly.
Too many things that can break, basically.
I see what you mean. Because of the complexity and the way both applications differ specially on the fields they use it's a big of a hassle to work them around.
Does this meant he only way to get integrate them would be to modify the profile structure of the oekaki to make it look like the PHP's profile style?
It's extremely troublesome to get things like this to work. Both boards have to be modified to share and store each other's information, cookies, and passwords. Plus, you need hard-coded paths, and even if the registration is shared, people will have to create and maintain separate profiles for each board, which pretty much defeats the purpose of integration.
The proper way to do this is to get a phpBB oekaki module. Of course, as far as I know, none exist, and probably never will until someone creates a paint applet which is FORM compliant, so it would behave like a normal file upload instead of a streaming application.
Hello, I currently searched because I wanted to see how you can integrate PHPBB with Wacintaki 1.3.3 using the same user/member database.
I saw in your mods forum that there was a thread about this, however this post is almost one year old and it only talks about Niko's mod of wacintaki and how to do it. I don't like how Niko modified the wacintaki to that extend, I've tried it (and it works) but I really don't like how it sets up in the end having a forum as parent of the oekaki. My main point is I want to have both PHP applications (PHPBB and Wacintaki) work together and not having the Oekaki depend on the forum (registrations, moding...etc.)
I am not a top-norch PHP programmer nor have as much knowledge to at least adventure to try doing something that big, but I want to know of a way to make both databases work, so far I modified the "constants.php" file where it defines the User Table (was prefix_users) while the oekaki user table is (prefix_oekaki). All I did was changing the user table on the phpbb file however it led me to an error, obviously the table has different fields and names, this is where I'm at right now.
Can anyone be nice enough to help me out on this?
