A Tough one for u !!!

[cyrus]

If I was to buy 3 licences from vbulletin, and install vbulletin on 3 seperate server ... but all boards are of the same company, just related to different topic ...

Could I make it so that if one member registers on any one board, it registers them on the other two as well ??

I know its hard, but I trust u guys to know cos u r the kings of vbulletin :D ( and Queens for all u ladies : )

Thanks ! :D

This is rather easy...

make all 3 different installations attach and use the same single mysql database.

Hi, thanks for the response

but if I do that, all the msgs etc eill be the same on all boards .... I intend for them to have different msg on.... just user and user info ( and pms ) will be same on all 3 oards

Thanks

Still simple if time consuming method is to create 4 databases (presuming you have a single mysql server).

With database 1 containing only the user related tables.
e.g. avatar, customavatar, privatemessage, profilefield, user, useractivation, userfield, usergroup, usertitle

Then the place all the other tables in the 3 databases.

Now your going to need to set the mysql user accounts with access to the user database and access to the forum database for THAT site.
e.g.
MySql Account: Site1
Database access
user,
forums1

MySql Account: Site2
Database access
user,
forums2
etc...

With this done go through all the code changing the reference to any of the tables in the user database to <database>.<tablename>
