How to use the same userbase for two cms's

[carl_in_florida]

I have a site that runs off more than one script, including two custom ones and a smf forum.

I want to be able to use the smf forum userbase as the userbase of the others. anyone know where to learn how to do this?

You should be able to do this no problem..

As long as the table names are different you'll be fine!

With Joomla for example you can change the db prefix..

and in the config you have

$mosConfig_dbprefix = 'jos_';

But I would ALWAYS backup ( export ) your whole db before you do each install of CMS incase ( just incase!) one over write the other :)

Not sure if theres something where you can learn to do this..

Sure post here if any problems and we'll try help..

Best of luck Buddy!
