1 database? is this possible?


I want to know if its posible to have 2 VB forums that share 1 database ( users ) but have their own registration and members, but if you want to visit the other forum your password and name already excists.

.. well... thats not helpfull...

Yes it is possible and the way you want it could even be not too difficult. AFAIK there is only a vB3.0 hack to do this right now. But if you take a look at that one you might be able to make it work on vB3.5

So they don't actually have their own registration and members, because that's shared.

vBulletin works on the basis of a standard prefix eg "vb_". It'd be a serious hack to change that I suspect. Good idea though.

Well if you want to do it good, there is a lot more to it.

Simply sharing the user table, would also mean sharing postcounts and usergroup. Also rebuilding counters would only count from 1 forum, and probably a lot more.

To do this good needs a lot of work and i doubt someone will release that for free (i am currently working on a professional solution, but that won't be free).

From what this guy wants in the title I would say he just needs to set the prefix in the config file. he said 2 forums 2 registrations 1 db

This would seem to suggest he wants a shared user database.

but if you want to visit the other forum your password and name already excists.
