Is more than one CMS per forum possible?

[seriousrat]

Thanks, read that and have a few concerns about using a mod that no one in the thread seems to have perfected.

Multiple licenses doesn't bother us, and frankly was expected to be a requirement. In the past we used Wordpress before there was a decent CMS, but the hackers were too good for the links between to stay anywhere close to safe in the long run. Hurt badly. That's why we want to stay only with vb for all sites.

Anyway, as an example;

Three CMS's, each with their own IP and license, same membership list. You click to go to the forum page in any of them, it goes to only one forum. You click to go back to individual CMS's however. We want the CMS content to be specific to a particular segment of a market. Like if it were dogs, (used this on the Vbulletin.com as an example), one CMS would only have stories about hunting dogs, another about small lap dogs, another about big outdoor dogs. That way you are not subject to articles about something you have no interest in. But, when you click to go discuss a story on the CMS link for that article, there is only one forum serving all three CMS article/magazine pages.

I see no way to separate out the CMS pages with only one license, so that was a conclusion we had already decided we would have to do.

On here it would be something to separate stories, if anyone ever wrote any, about vb3, vb4, vb5, etc. I would have zero interest in reading a story someone wrote about how vb3 was modified to do xyz. In the forum part of the website it doesn't matter, just scroll right on past it to the section you are interested in. But in the CMS there is no way I want to look at pictures and scroll past articles to see what I am interested in. vb4 with possibilities for vb5 someday. The CMS is the replacement for buying a magazine off the shelf. You don't buy a magazine about vb3 if you're using vb4. You may discuss vb3 with someone because you worked with it in the past, you just don't go read articles about it.

Hope that helps a bit to explain what and why. It may still be stupid, but it's almost like the links setup to go back and forth to facebook or youtube. But the membership etc would be controlled at the forum level I think.
