Same database in seperate forums?

[SpaMMerGR]

Hi.. is it possible to have several forums installed in subforums and use the same database (but not the same posts)

What i mean is:

if i have a forum on forum.domain.com with 5000 members,
is it possible to create another forum on forum2.domain.com that also has the same 5000 members but different categories, threads and even a different style?

You'll need two vB licenses for that, but yes, you can do two installs of vB, one in each directory, both using the same database but different database tables. Just be sure to use a different table prefix for each install, settable in the vB config.php file.

yes but if im using a different table prefix, the new forum won't have the same members as the first... right?

By using a table prefix you're effectively just creating a new database as all the tables will only be used by their respective scripts only. (From the point of vBulletin - may not apply to modifications).

There is no easy solution to share the users between 2 boards.

You can have 2 boards inside the same database (use a table prefix) but tis would not share any data between the 2 boards.

See post #5 - it applies to all data.
