Has this hack been mentioned?

2 Boards: 1 User Table.

I have bought 2 VBulletin boards and I would like to have one constant user table for both... is this possible?

If you register on either board you can still post on both boards...

Has this been brought up before?

Thanks.

This is a major hack and involves rewritting a lot of code. While it could be done individually, you can't release or distribute this code without violating the license agreement....

Sorry.

so far so good...

what I have done is go through all the *.php files on my forum2 messageboard and changed all instances of user to forum1.user usergroup to forum1.usergroup and userfield to forum1.userfield so that forum 2 reads all user related stuff from the forum1 user, usergroup and userfield tables.

It seems to be working.

Anyone see any problems with this?

i still don't get you.. which php files needed to be edited?

I hade to add the following modifications to forum2 functions.php


added:

PHP Code:

if ($idname=='user') {
$idnameold = 'user';      
$idname = 'forum1.user';
} else {
$idnameold = $idname;
} 

if ($idname=='avatar') {
$idnameold = 'avatar';      
$idname = 'forum1.avatar';
} 


after:

PHP Code:

if (!isset($id) or $id==0 or $id=="") {
    if ($alert) {  // show alert?
      eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate('error_noid')."\");");
      exit;
    }
  } else {
    $id=intval($id);
    if ($selall==1) {
      $selid = '*';
    } else {
      $selid = $idname.'id';
    } 


then changed

PHP Code:

if ($idname=='thread' and $threadcache["$id"]) {
      if ($selall!=1) {
        return $threadcache["$id"]["$selid"];
      } else {
        return $threadcache["$id"];
      }
    } else if ($idname=='forum' and isset($forumcache["$id"]) and $forumcache["$id"][forumid]==$id) {
      if ($selall!=1) {
        return $forumcache["$id"][forumid];
      } else {
        return $forumcache["$id"];
      }
    } else if (!$check=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT $selid FROM $idname WHERE $idname"."id=$id")) {
      if ($alert) { // show alert?
        eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate('error_invalidid')."\");");
        exit;
      } 


to:

PHP Code:

if ($idnameold=='thread' and $threadcache["$id"]) {
      if ($selall!=1) {
        return $threadcache["$id"]["$selid"];
      } else {
        return $threadcache["$id"];
      }
    } else if ($idnameold=='forum' and isset($forumcache["$id"]) and $forumcache["$id"][forumid]==$id) {
      if ($selall!=1) {
        return $forumcache["$id"][forumid];
      } else {
        return $forumcache["$id"];
      }
    } else if (!$check=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT $selid FROM $idname WHERE $idnameold"."id=$id")) {
      if ($alert) { // show alert?
        eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate('error_invalidid')."\");");
        exit;
      } 


tried that, doesn't work for me...
