Tell us more and we can narrow it down a little. Yeah, I've spent lots of years doing it too. Which is why I'm surprised I haven't built anything to automate the process yet. For example, ZenCart accepts logins, and phpBB does too. And there's what looks like half a process in ZenCart to catch logins from phpBB data tables and import the information. I've not looked at it in detail yet. Initial import is relatively easy. Relative to keeping both datasets in synch. Now any particular transfer isn't too terribly hard. But what I want is a generalised updating system that has templates & rules for each end of an updating process and for it to chunk away in the background keeping the data in synch. That's why the question was rather general. Because I'm trying to generalise the problem and come up with a way to produce and automate answers to it.
