QuizShock Invision Power Board Integration Instructions
This module allows QuizShock to be directly integrated with your
Invision Power Board user database. Currently it integrates in the following ways:
* Users are authenticated directly from your Invision Power Board database, giving all of your users access to QuizShock without having to register again.
* All links to registration on QuizShock go directly to your Invision Power Board registration script.
* All links to user profiles go directly to the Invision Power Board profile script for the user.
* You can specify which Invision Power Board user level has access to the QuizShock control panel.
Setup is very simple using the QuizShock user module system. Perform
the normal QuizShock installation as specified in README.txt, with
the following in mind:
1. Make sure to install QuizShock to the same MySQL database as
Invision Power Board is installed on. Don't worry - the tables won't
overlap because all of QuizShock's tables start with "ts_".
2. When editing config.inc.php, find the option $C_OPT ['USER_MODULE']
Make sure it is set to "invboard" instead of "standard".
3. Edit the file "inc/ts_user_invboard.inc.php". This is the
QuizShock user module for Invision Power Board. Edit the first several
options as appropriate for your Invision Power Board installation.
4. After installing QuizShock and performing these steps, go to the
URL where you did the installation. Near the top, the "Registered
Users" and "Newest User" fields should match those on your
Invision Power Board installation.
5. When logging into the control panel, use your Invision Power Board
administrator username and password, or one for whatever group id
you gave access to QuizShock (you can set which group gets
access to the control panel by editing
"inc/ts_user_invboard.inc.php". Don't worry about the admin
password you set during QuizShock installation, it won't be used
since you will be using your Invision Power Board user database.
