Cross linking multiple sites to one database?

  • I know this is possible to do with phpBB -> http://www.phpbb.com/kb/article.php?article_id=55

    Is it possible to have 2 differnet PostNuke installs running on separate domains with different themes, to be using the same database, and sharing the same userbase?

    With phpBB, you just install phpBB with a different DB prefix, then modify the user tables to have a generic prefix. Next you install another phpbb setup with a differnt prefix all together and remove its user tables. Then you modify the comon.php and a few other files to hardcode which tables are for the user tables.

    Which tables would I modify for the user tables? And where would I hardcode the user tables into PostNuke? Also, when using the phpbb2 forum mod, I am assuming I can do what the phpBB folks say for crosslinking these right?

    Thanks!
  • Nevermind, I figured it out.

    Here is the list of tables to modify:

    _group_members
    _group_perms
    _groups
    _user_data
    _uesr_perms
    _user_property
    _userblocks
    _users

    And then you edit the file /pntable.php and remove the "$prefix ." from the previous tables, and then hardcode the new prefix for the user/group tables.
