Ok, I am going to make this a specific bug report because I feel the whole integration system leaves a lot to be desired and these issues should probably be fixed. This is all to do with the profile:
1) All the information for the profile should be brought forward from the phpBB database such as timezone, icq, signature, etc.
2) Any limits on image sized or field sizes needs to follow the phpBB limit, not the wsnlinks limit.
3) The ideal solution would be to, somehow, incorporate the wsnlink settings into the phpBB profile settings. This could be a problem with modified versions of phpBB however. Maybe it is something that can be looked at.
4) Some sort of translation table so existing users in wsnlinks can be matched up with users in phpBB. For example, NigelReed user_id = 2 on phpBB but I use nelgin id=1 on wsnlinks, so there is no way to match up the two identities (and therefore give the link submissions to the rightful owners).
These obviously aren't bugs, so moved to feature suggestions.
1) An easy customization which any phpBB users are encourage to donate their results from.
2) Will never happen, every script has its limits hidden in obscure places handled in unique ways so it's obviously a custom coding issue for phpBB users alone. It might be conisdered for WSN Forum / Gallery / KB integration since it's relatively reasonable in those cases, but then again some people may not want them sharing such values. At any rate I'm sure field sizes are the last thing on most people's minds, so other WSN Forum settings would be integrated first as appropriate.
3) No idea what"phpBB profile settings" means here.
4) If you actually knew all the equivilant ids, which would be rather odd, then it would be approximately as quick and easy for you to change them with phpmyadmin queries as it would be for you to be prompted by me to please type in all the same things to a translation table. Of course, with thousands of members it would take forever either way and it's a moot point for the 99% of people who don't know what accounts match what anyhow.
