vBulletin: Two boards, two domains, one userdatabase!

Like the topic says.. Is it possible to have two different vbulletin boards, with the same userdatabase?

 

I think it is, however, the site title, logo and name would have to be the same. You could not change one without changing the other.

 

You can use a backed up database on as many forums as you like, from there though differnt members, and posts will be made.

 

ITs possible and it can use different settings I can provide more info if you want

 

I agree, My buddy created a "global" user name and pass for his forums

 

So why are you waiting The question is obvious. You dont need to wait for an ack.

 

I see what you mean now, you would like two forums. And when someone posts on one, it also gose to the other aswell? If thats right I am also intrested in this.

 

No, two different boards, with different settings and layout - but the users are the same!

 

Do you also mean the posts are the same, or just members?

 

No, just the members!

Like, if you have two boards.. one for cars and the other for boats. You can be active on the cars forum, but If you happen to wanna post on the boat forum too, you won't have to register another user..

 

I get you now. I am also looking for something simular, maybe there are modifications or something that will do this. Check vBulletin.org.

 

You do it by using Sql permision settings and a bit of editing to the code in vb.

 

Maybe if you figured out which tables to use then you could just import the right table with all the members. I don't think you would be able to share them though without sharing everything else.

 

Is it possible to share members, and posts/threads? I would like to know this one, like when a member registers one forum, its also registered on the other, and when someone makes a thread, or posts, it gose to the other forum also?

 

As i Said it is I can help if you need it.

 

Why don't you just tell us how here?

 

I have dropped you a PM about this.

I hope you can give me information on this, I would like to do a project in the future on this. Thanks.

I didn't try it, so can't really tell if it works fine (especially on 3.6).

Well, I thought about trying it, but 2 forums, 1 account, different audience targeting... That makes your email marketing a bit difficult unless you have some good software for emailing/newsletters.

 

Look at: these two sites:
Im merely posting that it is possible, although Im not able to say how unless you have 7 hours...

Forum 1
Forum 2

The users are the same, the only reason they are off on one site is due to a mod which I have installed on one of the sites

 

They haven't got the same posts, and members.
