Hey Buddy Duke,
I have prepping my 4images gallery for use with aMember external registration. I am following your notes about this with avid interest. I am somewhat familiar with phpmyadmin so I will let you know if I am successful in changing the default settings.
[Edit] changed the default settings for the two fields so I should be all set. Since we use aMember for several Single Sign On (SSO) functions, what we have found is that aMember creates the user profile in the receiving database, passing those amember fields we specify. So our users register with aMember, providing a user id, password, email, country, sex, state, city, and other information. I work with the folks at aMember to modify the plugin they offer to pass these additional fields to the 4images user database where I have already created the additional fields.
Thanks,
Brian
