I got it!
Once I found out WHERE PHPBB3 did username checks, I got it all together after that.
This was tested on STOCK PHPBB3 (not for DF) and Roster 2.
This should work with roster 1 as well, since it's still the same table and field.
(roster_members and name)

Would like to hear from Roster 1 testers.

BTW thanks go to WoWRoster and forum members.
This was the MOST active forum in which I posted this to, despite not much helped in the end, members here ATTEMPTED to help. (unlike other forums)
It did however inspire me to make the brain hurt a little longer and resolve it. lol

ABOUT THE MOD:
This is mod to the PHPBB3 files. During registration this will check if they are a VALID Guild Member, and disallow all those not a Guild Member.
This allows less administration, as well as forcing users to use a "Character" name, as opposed to some name no-one knows.
REMEMBER TO BACK UP YOUR FILES BEFORE MODDING!
note: Both WoWRoster tables and PHPBB3 tables MUST be in the same database for this to work.
No coding for cross database checking will be done.
Enjoy!

I've had a quick look and from what i can see this wont work for DF due to the differences in where the user registration takes place and in how different the code is

if anyone wants this for DF i might try to port it but give me some time as i'm gonna have to find all the areas to mod

I think I have it I'm uploading a test site now to try out what I'm thinking if it works I'll post it in the DF forums

Depending on how DF works, is it even phpbb3?
if it's phpbb2 you should try the ORIGINAL MOD I've posted back at
http://www.wowroster.net/Forums/viewtopic/t=3433.html

For you DF users.... this is a direct quote from the DragonFly CMS website.

Forums
High powered, fully scalable, bulletin board package
Groups Integration and Administration
Derived from phpBB 2.0.x (phpbb.com)
Clean linking (session ID is removed from URL)
Attachment Mod, Topic Icons Mod and Merge Topics Mod includ

Meaning this MOD is NOT for you.
Please refer to the older PHPBB roster check from the previous post.
That's meant for PHPBB2 and MAY work for DF.
Again since the Tables and Fields are the same for names in both roster 1 and 2.. the old roster check should work fine with a Roster 2/PHPBB2 setup.
Again I'm going to repeat myself, the OLD rostercheck MAY work with DF(since it's phpbb2), but I will not make any guarantees of that. Use at your own risk.
IF you decide to test the old rostercheck with DF, please let me know if it works.

Sorry TankGirl for the df posts here..

Please any DF users only post in the Df subforum created here referencing this forum if needed.

Hello I have a phpBB3 forum with Portal XL5.0 will this mod work for me?

Hello I have a phpBB3 forum with Portal XL5.0 will this mod work for me?

I cannot guarantee that. I don't use Portal XL5.0.
BUT if it is a true phpbb3 forum.. then this should work.
If you encounter any problems this can always be uninstalled.
Just follow the guide and remove what was added.
As always, you test at your own risk.

If you choose to try this with your Portal XL5.0 setup.
Please post back the result.

ok, first of all this is great being able to use a single username for phpBB3, wowroster and eqdkp, second, i'm a total fruitcake concernig php modding and coding, hell i even don't understand this mod.
what iv'e done so far:

connected to my DB using navicat, i opened: [table] phpbb_groups
http://81.244.244.73/steps/step1.jpg

http://81.244.244.73/steps/step2.jpg
