PHP-Nuke Newbie
Forum module - topics in forum:
PHP-Nuke Newbie - Complete phpnuke newbie? want to ask a question before installing? or have installed and are now confused? this is the place.
is phpnuke right for me? very extended member profiles
i want to develop a site which is a database of people in the live music society at my university, what instruments they play, what sort of music they're into and a whole lot of other data. i then want members to be able to search for other members based on this data. there will also be a phpbb forum so they can talk to each other.
now, i started by installing phpbb and thought it'd be best to have just one login to get to both the forum and the place where their musician's profile can be updated. so i figured i'd add a bunch of things to the user table in phpbb. however, adding fields to the phpbb profile is very time consuming. i'm not sure it'd help much either, as i wouldn't know how to start adding the ability to search these extra fields to phpbb.
i gave up and then had the idea of making another table in the database with all the musician info and somehow linking this to the phpbb users table. then, there would be a set of pages outside phpbb to look at, update and search the musician data. however, i'm having trouble making it possible for people to log in using their phpbb details and then perform logged-in-only tasks on a non-phpbb page.
so now i'm thinking maybe phpnuke could help in some way. however, i don't want to spend hours installing it and setting it up to find out that it doesn't help in the least. hoping somone here can suggest something.
thanks

its possible but would require either
installing the approve_members module which if you install 7.4 it will give you upto 20 new add fields cability iirc
or you create a new module where your members can update and add there info and it gets stored in a new table linked by there user_id
