Default How to link 1x VB forum to 3 or more sites

I have a few Joomla game sites hosted at same place but different domains..
I have 1x VBulletin forum that should feed ALL sites.
Joomla has its own Db for many features ... x the number of sites

How can I set this so that with only 1 registration, you will get access to ALL sites and no matter what site you are on, you will be able to see the VB Forum and scroll to that sites category?.

Help will be appreciated.

Hi Chuck,

Here's the first part of the vBulletin License Agreement:
Quote:
vBulletin license grants you the right to run one instance (a single installation) of the Software on one web server and one web site for each license purchased. Each license may power one instance of the Software on one domain. For each installed instance of the Software, a separate license is required. Modifications to the Software or database to circumvent the one-license-one-board rule are prohibited.
Do you have multiple licenses?

Oh dear no!

But does an iframe count?
the software is only on 1 server and 1 site...it is not hosted on the other sites.
I want to get rid of kunena on the other sites!
So if I need a licence for each of the other sites even though it is not hosted on them, then I suppose I will have to stick with what I got..

Thanks anyway for the prompt reply

He said 1 vbulletin forum integrated with joomla websites. there's no license issue here.

@chuck, you can do this...its not impossible. can you give more details with exactly what you want to feed and integrate with the joomla websites?

Ok I have a MAIN gaming site.
Then I have smaller little sites runing Kunena and phpbb which are not very busy

I would like that when you register on any site, your account details are shared between ALL websites data bases and linked to the main site where VB is.

On my Vb I want to have each game as a seperate category.
The players on site 1 can see the Vb forum through an iframe
and they will be able to post to it from any of the other sites.

Basically this saves them form registering on each game site they want to play on AND also going to the main site to register on the forum.

If this is gonna be an issue, then I would rather leave it
It is just that I came accross something like this and it made a lot of sense so thats why i wanted to try it.

Oh.. if it's just 'my vb install needs to be visible in a frame on my other sites', then the one license would be fine.

I thought you wanted game.com, game1.com, game2.com to all appear to have their own install.

You'd probably want to start by searching for joomla bridge, and multi-domain database sharing.

On the joomla site under components, look for Synk.
It is a commercial module at 60E

This will sync your joomla databases so that you have 1 user registration valid on all sites.
Then from your main site you bridge joomla with the VB data base.
You use an iframe to import VB from your main site into your other page.

This way your viewer only makes 1 registration and it is valid on all sites and also on your forum. This will work with any forum software.
