Same accounts on TWO VBulletins

[Sawa Dee SohL]

Can it be done?

For example:

I have website A , and Website B

I want all members on website A to be able to log into Website B using their account information from A

Basically, merging them - but not merging them.

Only allowing them to access the other Forum/VB through their account previously created, and any accounts created on A/B will be able to log into each other, and vise versa

Possible?

You have to have 2 licenses. But you would have to use the same user tables.

Ya I figured I'd need the 2nd license to have it under another Domain.

Awesome, just wanted to make sure it was possible before I did anything further


Much appreciated

*gives thanks*

This question has been asked 100's of times. But there's no full-proof answer for this.

Though there are two hacks here, you may try them carefully on test boards:-
Multiple Forums using a single user table
Share users database among many forums

We don't have a huge userbase atm, so I didn't wanna split them up right now.

But from the way we're going, we are probably going to go to two separate Domains. So i was just curious for in the future

Basically like VB.com and VB.org allowing me to log into .org with Zour

So just simply changing to one database with both, I dont think that will work properly, Like say if i registered on A i wont be able to log into B till you re-merge.

Not if you run on the same user tables

SirAdrian suggested a while back that MySQL views probably will work, the only limitation is that both databases must be on the same server.

[Sawa Dee SohL]

Would I constantly need to update the other database to make it so they can use both, or can I make it so they both use the same database?

just on the same server. No one has a mod out there that works fully functional right now of else you would a billion vb sites out there using this hack.

Also when you update vb versions it could become painful, but there is a mod out there that lets you update all vb installations in one go.
