Make vbulletin use another table for users

[jamescrf]

I did this with 3 sites, works great. Took about 8 hours to set up and workout the kinks. Now members can go to any of the 3 sites without having to register 3 times. This has been live for about 2 months now, without any problems. I am planning to add 3 more sites as well.

Why not post a thread and share with everybody? I'm intrested in the process to, I know how to do it personaly but i've never had it running in a production enviroment.

Can you give us some details about your community's? How big are they and how many users do you have browsing at one time?

I was playing around with this idea and wrote a script that searches through all php files replacing all the table prefixes for the user queries...

it took some time, but overall wasn't that difficult.

I'll send doc to Zachery and let him have a look, then we should be able to post it.

I am running 3 forums now and will be adding 3 more in the next few months. My forums are not that big so I am not sure how this mod would perform with 10,000+ users. I have about 2 thousand users with max on line of 100+, avg is around 40.

i hope you post it
i wanna try this

I got the doc, havent had a chance to read over it, i want to ask a few more questions before anything else
