Two vBulletins, One userdatabase

Has anyone done that yet?

We've registered 2 vBulletins to use in our site.
One vBulletin is already up (http://forum.edome.net/murobbs/) and we'd like to add another one to another URL with different outlook & different boards.

BUT, we'd like to use same userdatabse with the second vBulletin, so it wouldn't matter to which vBulletin the user is registered to....

Do I have to hack this myself or is there hack readily available? :)

Thanks,

You will have to hack it yourself or pay someone to do it for you.

mhmm, i have the same idea for the future...


possible solution:

- make a second dir with the vbulletin php-scripts

- copy the table template and the table that contains the layout to e.g. template2 etc... in the same database

- the change the template calls in global.php to the new table e.g. template2

i think, this should work,

btw, sorry for my bad english, i am german :)

our board: http://www.aktienboard.com , give it a try.

Consider that almost any query in vBulletin (especially v2) to the user table is JOINed with information from other tables. If you wish then to have forums share a user database you will have to remove all the joins unless you know how to JOIN across databases.
