I was thinking about this...
- The administrator (of the site providing forum hosting) requires all users to register on their support forums (which may or may not be the stock copy used by MyBB MF) to create a forum.
- The forum creation page only has a field for the display name (URL appendage).
- This way, a banned user on the support forum gets his/her forum auto-deleted, and vice-versa. Also, they already have an account if they need support. They don't have to re-enter info like username, password, email, etc., and we don't need verification that they are a valid user since we already know that they managed to sign up at the support site. This can bypass email verification and/or captcha.
- What do you think?
Interesting idea. A heck of a lot of coding, but an interesting idea. This is somewhat like Stirling's MYBBMF Facebook Mod, but a bit different. His mod works as a bridge in a different way.
Cool Idea.

It's not so hard. You set it up so that the admin inputs his/her database settings to his/her MyBB MySQL database (host name, login, password, database, and table prefix). In turn, my script accesses the database's mybb_users table and uses that as a basis to execute your script when prompted to with the mkforum.php page. The only parts that get tricky are:
- making sure the user is logged in before being able to see mkforum.php
- making sure that the user has not already created a forum (this could be difficult, since it would probably involve editing a MyBB DB table)
It doesn't mean it has to be fully bridged--maybe having a Support Forum Admin CP and a MF Admin CP for separate control is better, since then support forum admins can't access settings.
This is a good idea but, I can garantee you there would be a lot of problems with the people making the forum and the hoster. This would definately cause a lot of unnecessary disputes among both party. So no party gains, but lose out.
It would work a lot easier if both the support forums and the hosted forum are on the same database then I guess
i love the idea but i goin get 1 big problem
i work whit 2 differend databases that are protected whit unix socked or something like that
what does it means ?? no direct remote conection is posseble , not even from the same ip
now the problem , i use the mod (sub domain ) on powerchaos.co.cc and the forum is on powerchaos.info , they are both 2 differend cpanels
so the idea is great but i cant use it :'( (or it need to be a insecure way to transfer data from the first script to the other domain name script :S )

I think you mean secure?
not secure becoue the security it have
then it need to be transfered from the first domain name to the other domain name to gain acces to the database on the other domain name ....
so it sends the code by http:// to gain acces to the other script located at the other domain name and then that script can make a acces to the database becouse rem acces isnt posseble
this is hard to explain lol

Ok... Im just thinking why would you want something insecure?
i dont want something insecure , but there is no other way to make a conection betwean them
so i just mean that i cant use it to make a long story short
or there need to be a other way to conect them both
