I plan on opening up a network of PHPBB forums under various domain names. What I was wanting to know is if it is possible to have it so if someone registers on one forum, that person is registered on all of them, and post counts will be the same on all forums. What I am guessing is that it is something to do with databases, if possible. Please lemme know if you can help.
Install them on the same server, and use the same SQL details for each forum. As long as they are all the same board. Do one install, and the rest, just use the others sql.
That is the easiest way yes.. if you want different boards, you are looking at quite a bit of more work.
kip is right on, just gave this some thought myself. I think that is the best way to do it! That's a good idea, I don't think I have seen that before. I might have on one forum, but I think it used separate signups for each. Let us know if you accomplish this! Maybe a write up also, good information to have!
Invision has a bridge to connect users for different forums. There might be one similar for other forums, do a search. The other solution is to have one custom made.
