    Hi Holman -

    In the future, please post all development mail to campsite-dev mailing
    list.

    This looks like a good solution, my only question is: are you now able to
    run phorum side-by-side with Campsite? Are you able to register through
    Phorum normally?

    ok, thanks.

    yes. I have got both campsite and phorum installations. i am able to
    register through phorum and users doing so will be only phorum users.
    On the other hand, when creating a subscriber through Campsite admin
    interface campsite subscribers become phorum users with same
    username/password. This way campsite subscribers can post from
    article comments or directly through phorum.

    the only one thing that i have not implemented is the phorum user
    creation when somebody register as user through frontend, Mugur can
    help me with some tips about this because it has to do with the
    parser, i guess.

    Campsite works with passwords using SHA1, on the other side we have
    Phorum using MD5, so we need to change stuff in Phorum in order to be
    able to sync users in a right way.

    I had not take care about it, i will commit as soon as i do that.
