I was having trouble using this method without generating errors. I found the solution and thought I would share it.

The code at the begining:
<?php
chdir("forum/");
require('./global.php');
chdir("../");
?>

This can cause problems if your vB uses a different DB since it connects to that DB and then returns but never reconnects to the orginial DB. This cause mysql fetch array errors for me.

Add this line after the last chdir:
mysql_select_db("your_mainDB_name_goes_here");

Should look like this now:
<?php
chdir("forum/");
require('./global.php');
chdir("../");
mysql_select_db("your_mainDB_name_goes_here");
?>


Next, make sure you have the same admin user for the forum DB also listed as a user in the main DB will all permissions. If not, create a matching forum admin account in your main DB.

This should clear up any issues when using this with 2 DB's.

Enjoy! :ninja:
