merge 8 user tables from existing forums

Postby noworyz » 03 Apr 2008, 06:58

I have 8 existing forums on one of my sites and members are asking if it is possible to somehow create one user account that works on all forums instead of having to register on each one. I know it is possible to do this before sites are created but all these forums already exist.

Each forum uses a separate database currently. Is there a way to merge all the users into one of the databases and have each forum look to that particular database for the user data?

Thanks in advance for any help

Moved from phpBB discussion as it's olympus-specific.

that seems more to have multiple accounts on one forum, not multiple forums? Am I correct?

Nope, it's multiple forums sharing the same users table. ;)

ok, and this can be done with existing forums that already have their own user tables? Sorry for all the questions but need to make sure?

You *might* need to find a way to merge the tables to start, I think...

Nah, that'd lead to problems. You'd need some kind of script to truly merge them. I've seen something for phpBB2 once, but it's pretty bugged. This is one of the few things that are very very challenging to make (for phpBB3).
