[Thug]

Hi.......

well oh-twadi.com and raveit-up.com want to link up
he has a php site and i have the vbulletin forum
how do we make it so his users become my users aswell.
wheneva someone joins his we want them to automatically join ours
and same with my members to his
cause we want users to be able to log in to 1 site and it logs into the other aswell and download music and things

can any of you help

[miz]

first you need to merage users,
what system does he use ?

[Thug]

its PHP on MySQL

[miz]

is it costum system or public ?

[Thug]

opensource site

/me just wondering why Thug have to name his url on every post he makes??

[Thug]

so people no what site im talking abt.why what u thnk?

[miz]

opensource site

ok is it open source like phpbb or something ?
cuse if yes you can use importers

[Thug]

open source portals... which have the ability to import...
alsois there a way once u logon will log you onto both sites? if so how?

would we need to be on same server and database?

[miz]

yes to all answers
but in order to do that you will need to merge user db

[Thug]

++++ so we need to have same database? so we cant have seperate hosts?

[miz]

no
unless you will do some ++++ing major hacking that will constantly update info
between 2 servers or you can use iframe
but for users ++++ you will need 1 db

[Thug]

ok so what do usuggest for a gud merge?

whats the iframe?

[miz]

for ex . on your friend site, he will have a file
forum.php

and its will echo everything that will be in your forum
but im just talking ++++, i dont think its will work

also you will have problems with usernames.

best solution :
take the best host of both of ya, put all files on it
and on the other host, use redirect or something

thats all

[Thug]

i will talk abt it thanx

so what exactly should i do?

[miz]

merage user db

and if your friend site is also a forum you will need to merage posts and stuff like that also

[Thug]

ok so it will be vbulletin still?
