hi

myself I tested it on 3.68 and it does work with some additional modifications.

regards

Does anybody know if there's a 3.6 version of this mod?

+1 I could really use this mod as well!!

I have been using it with 3.60 and 3.07
In addition of what is posted there are a couple of additional small changes to do

I wish to use it, but since it is very robust and critical hack and not supported I am afraid to install it if there is no future for upgrades...

It's a nice hack, but it's a real pain to maintain. I had a bunch of 3.07 mods that I wanted to keep, so is the reason why I installed it. However, every single hack that you install you must replace all TABLE_PREFIXES for a group of tables. Real pain!!

bump.

Does anyone knows if this can be used on new vB 3.6.x versions, i.e. to work for two separate forums which are on the same VPS?

me too.. 2 seperate already existing forums...

So has anyone tried this on 3.6.x version?

any ideas ?
i use 3.6.8,isn`t compatible with this hack ?:D

doesn`t anyone have the files already modified... ?
if I put a normal functions.php it is working,i go to the member list and I see al the users...when i click on them I get i"Invalid User specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator"
In admin CP the users seem to exist...but on the forum i cannot view the information...
I`ve got it to work in 3.6.8
But i don`t know how to make them use the same post count table...any ideea?
I am getting an error when i try to register a new username...

can this be done with 3.7? :)

really need this with 3.7

You can follow the procedures above and do this with 3.7 just as easily. If you run into
any bumps you will see that you can just find the spot in the code that has aproblem and make the change so it is looking for your vb3_ or master table instead of the slave sites table.

I did this on www.mmowned.com and www.fpsowned.com with fpsowned.com being the slave site. It all works very well.

With 3.7.x is compatible?

I have it done on 3.7 with www.mmowned.com as the primary and www.fpsowned.com as the secondary.

Hi all,

tested it with 3.7x it looks ok.

but i have one question.

When i login into forum1 and then i go to forum2, i must login again. :-(

Is auto login possible?

Only once login for all forums?

THX for help. ;-)

I may need to check my sanity on why I am asking this but I assume this should work even if one board is a 3.6.x site and the second is a 3.7.x. site?

I think I need to set up a test envionment and try it as I have a significant need for this now so time to give it a go.

Does this hack share session data, and if so, does that mean that when one site reports a user logged in, the other site will also show them logged in and online?

i get this error while registering in my slave forum

Fatal error: Existing data passed is not an array
Called set_existing in [path]/register.php on line 421

Hi..

This is a very good Mod, I like it and installing now in vb3.74. My observations are as below:

1) Avatars are not appearing, similar case in Profile Friends.
2) Slave site is showing the Master site Online Users, this should be avoided.

Has anyone got this working properly with 3.7.4?

Is there a way to share some of the forums, as well?

Hi - I've tried to contact the author to see if they'll upgrade to the latest version of VB as a paid service, but no avail. Any ideas if this is compatible, or if there is an alternative to this for 3.8.x users?

I would love tis in 3.8 too!!

Anyone fancy doing this for 3.8x?

I am currently working on a 3.8 version. I have the tables shared and it's working in terms of logging in. Acutally a lot of it works. But I'm getting insert errors when trying to create a new thread.

*edit this might be because I made new forums before importing the usertable.

Finished. So far so good.

Mod installation seems to be exactly the same in terms of edits for 3.8.1

OK, I've asked these questions in the thread for vB 3.0.x and got no answers, so I would post it here as well, since there are a few things that you guys may have seen and could save me the trouble. Here are my questions:

I would like to know how the "sessions" are handled. I have some questions here and I would appreciate if someone can answer them for me.

Let's assume two sites, A and B. With this hack, all user information is kept in the "user" table in database A.

A member of site A logs in Site B. Obviously, since the last login time is stored in the shared user table, the last login time entered in the table, will be common for both sites, correct? So if the member comes back after two days and logs-in in site A, the last login time will be the last login time from his visit in site B. That means that if the user asks to see the new posts since his last visit (for example), the posts shown to him will not be correct, he will miss the posts between the last time he visited site A and the time he visited site B. Am I correct on this? It is of course possible to alter the user table to have separate columns for these time parameters for site A and site B.

Another question: again, let's suppose that a member logs in site B, does some work there and then follows a link to site A. Will he still be logged in in site A or will he need to re-log in in the other site? In other words, how are cookies handled? And what difference will it make if someone uses the "Remember me" checkbox in one site?

Great questions John! :)

I'm keeping my eyes open for the answers as I'm researching this as well :D

any update on a new vesion of this mod or if it works on 3.8 and above ?

Would it be possible to get this to work for VB 4? I'll gladly pay.

I'll do it for you.

You can make it happen? Please PM me with info, background, portfolio, price, etc.

Thanks!

Had been talking to the OP about it but I think he's kinda disappeared.
