Multiple Forums using a single user table Details »» | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
This was originaly done in 3.0.9 by westpointer you can view that thread here
This Modification is for VB3.5.4 This is not supported but I will give as much help as I possible can. I have this working now on 2 sites The main site is http://forums.everything2stroke.com Slave sites are http://forums.everythingmx.com and http://forums.everythingduners.com After a successfull install of this modification your sites will share User, PM, and sesson data. This thread will detail how to have a single login for multiple forums. It makes the following assumptions:
Follow these steps 1.) Download your new copy of VB that contains a seperate license key 2.) Go to /includes/config.php.new rename the file to config.php and make necessary changes to the file. See VB Directions. Make sure this code has a different setting than the master site for table prefix. PHP Code:
4.) During the install, be sure NOT to empty the tables. If you have any doubt about what this means, stop NOW! If you empty the tables, you will lose all of your existing data from a prior install! 5.) Download all files and directories to your PC from the new install location. 6.) You will need a tool to do a mass Search and replace on all files. I use WildEdit. Here is what you will do using a tool like Wild Edit.
Now to modify some of the code. In /include/class_dm.php Search for: PHP Code:

That is all the code modification. The only other item I did is remove a couple cron jobs. Go into Scheduled tasks then to Scheduled Task Manager Delete the following CRON jobs from the Slave Site User Promotions* Birthdays Activation Reminder Email This will eliminate members getting emails from the primary and secondary sites *not sure if this will duplicate efforts between primary and secondary sites I have it running on both sites still waiting to see if it causes any issues. Please post here if you have any problems and questions I will try my best to keep up with everyone to help you through this. Once you get the code done the first time you can just do a mass search and replace on your license code and you can be up and running in minutes with a new site. This is my first major modification so I hope I posted this all correct, again Thanks to Westpointer for his original work without his post this would not have been possible. Thanks UPDATE: Please make this changes it will allow you to make changes to usergroups in the subscription section and when editing a user. admincp/adminfunctions.php Search for PHP Code:

is it possible to run something like this across multiple servers?
I run a big board (90k members, 1.5 million posts and 1.3 million visits a month) and am wanting to expand into multiple other forums (we are a non-profit organization). Basically setting up about thirty other forums (when it is all done) and having each current user being automatically registered, and all new members being able to auto register across all forums no matter which one they sign up on. Since my site allows image uploads and is art heavy, I do not think a single server is possible when it is all said and done. I will need many servers eventually. I am hoping for assistance and input on this and have some budget to hire someone with appropriate skills. If anyone can assist me with this, please let me know at jmanley@massiveblack.com The site is called www.conceptart.org/forums. We are making a photography forums, a fine art forums and some other areas. Please advise...just talented artists here, not many programmers. Jason jmanley@massiveblack.com |

There's definitely a demand for this type of networking. I also would like the ability to run multiple forums with just one user database. Sign me up!

ok i want to ask something.
Im looking a few months for a mod that can give discount on paid subscriptions or a coupon mod and its requested many times but nobody could make it. So i was thinking what if i put a second forum on my site that run a 3.5 serie. If they buy a paid subscription on that forum does that subscription also work on the main forum then? Because then i can use the other forum so they can buy a subsripion with discount and it will work on the main forum. Do you guys think thats posseble or is that a other table? And if its a other table it it posseble to do did with that other table then? |

Has anyone updated this yet? The way vB has things setup now confuses me to death and I can't seem to figure out where insert queries are for users, etc. So if anyone has updated this, please PM me.
