two forums
Hi,
I'm using another board system and I'm thinking in moving to vbulletin.. I was wondering if I will run two different vbulletin forums on my site...is it possible to make the registeration one for both forums? I mean if a guest registered in any of these forum.. he will be registered to the other forum autmaticly and added to the other database..nothing more than this... posts and threads will be different if both forums.. I'm not requestion a hack.. just wondering if this possible.. thanks! |

2 independant Boards sharing the same userbase is difficult to achieve.
There haven been a lot of requests for this, but at least I would be able to write a hack that does this (or at least it would be very complicated). Furthermore, I think you would need 2 licenses to do so. |

Well, in vBulletin the user table holds
Now, if this table is shared between various installation with the methode posted above (which ist of course possible) there will be a lot of problems. For example the post counter: You make 1 post in board 1, but as board 2 uses the same table it will also show 1 post . Or the Style. the User might chose to select style 1 on board 1 and style 2 on board 2 - this isn't possible. And so on and so on ... I've just take a look into phpBB user table, and found out that it holds similar information. So similar problems will occur. |

I've done it several times in development. However real world settings would be insane, I couldn't even imagine updating this. IT requires tons and tons and tons of file edits, so insane that a proper version would take at least 40~ mins doing the changes at least. It would be better handled by another system altogether. |

But for a human being I think it would take longer. |

It's easier to modify one instance of vBulletin to appear to be two, but in most cases this also requires two licenses. |

From looking at phpbb_users scheme I can see that it holds similar information (post counter, last visit information, pm notofication popup flag, etc.) as vBulletin and thus will have the same problems. |
