For example the post counter:

guys you got my idea wrong..
I'm not talking about sharing the user table between two forums..

what I meant is to modify register.php or any other neccassry files to add any registered user with his information to the other forum database..so the user won't have to register twice..and uses his same password / username in both forum..and then (posts - cookies - new options...) sure will be different..

so if the user registered in one of these forums.. he will have the same login information in the other forum..ofcourse until he changes one of them..


I hope you got the idea..

sorry for my bad english..

and thanks everyone for interest..

What do you mean by "to appear to be two" ?

I have already bought two licenses.

Tr1x that's an interesting idea you got there. I've been looking here and vbulletin forums for shared user database to get members signed up to my forums @ same time. Wonder if anything happened to this thing or just got forgotten like many of the similar requests.

This is real easy to do, I have a script that converts all the vB scripts over to support unlimited forums with one database. I had the script working up 3.0.3, so maybe I need to make a few changes to support 3.0.7 but it would not take that long! How I did it was a assign each table a 'install' column that each forum install uses to access it's data, ie (users, styles, forums...). I also converted the MySQL only install, to support MySQL or Oracle or MSSQL.

I would release this but I am concern that people would abuse it, ie: use it to run many ilegal boards at once! Then there is copyright issue, where every script being changed would have to be released as I would never be able to explain the hundreds of edits that need to be done! I guess I could work around that and just give the (5) search and replace scripts that do the conversion!

Maybe I will ask over at VBulletin if they would mind if I release this over here or someone can answer this here!

That would be great thanks! - release and download maybe after license(s) checked?
