Hey all,
Ok, so I have SMF installed,
and I have Free Web Shop installed....
Both are on the same table, just with different prefixes.
I wanted to make it so if someone registers on the forum, that becomes their username/password/details for the store, and vice versa.

The problem is, I have no idea how to do this, what i'd need to change in both config files etc, and especially because the SMF members row obviously has far less details, and lots of different details than the webshop one....

SO i need one row, which stores all the information neccasery for both, BUT each section (forum/store) only reads the information it needs (obviously SMF has no need for address or purchases etc) and obviously the Store has no need for the karma or avatar information.

Please help. This will be greatly appreciated.

Uh, that's a relatively complex thing you're trying to do there.

Here are your options.
  • Search the SMF/FWS forums and see if there has been bridge that has been created
  • Get a bridge for the two applications to be developed.
A bridge is a piece of code such as a module or hack that merges information from two different applications together. In this case, it would share the same username, password, email, etc.
