Codezwiz >> Forums >> General PHP Nuke Help >> Sharing user database

Hello all.

Usually spend my time at Nuke Cops or Nuke Forums. Decided to try to get this answered here since I can't get any response from those sites.

I have searched but can't find any reference. What I want to do is add multiple forums to and existing PHPNuke install. My site is up and running at
[ Register or login to view links on this board. ]

It is version 6.7 and is functioning with the forums it came with but I want to add additional forums to the same database so the general public can have more to chew on, and only login in once.

I have read where I need to change the prefix in the user tables from PHPBB to Nuke in the config file of the new PHPBB install to get it to share the same users from one database. How do I get the new forums wrapped into the PHPNuke template. I don't want it to standalone and would like it wrapped into the CMS like my current forums are.

Thanks for any assistance.

I dont see why it couldnt be done. I have personally never done it so I dont want to start guessing. I found a couple links though with lengthy discussions about porting over a standalone forum that might be useful

There where even some scripts that do it for you. The only problem I could potentialy see is where the Forum is kept. And is it going to be ok if users post in one forum but all of the information is stored in the others database. But nothing is impossible. If I hear or find out anymore info I will post it for you.

I am attempting this again. I have a subdomain named realism that I have all the 2.06 PHPBB files. I want to do a fresh install of a PHPBB forum in a subdomain [ Register or login to view links on this board. ] and share the users_table located in my Nuke site at [ Register or login to view links on this board. ]

I can't seem to reach the install.php located in the realism subdomain from my browser. Wouldn't I type [ Register or login to view links on this board. ]

My other PHPBB forum I have installed that doesn't yet share the user_table from the nuke install is working in a subdirectory at [ Register or login to view links on this board. ] I want to change this and place it in a subdomain.

This would be so much simpler if PHPBB would have Parent / Child forums like vBulletin does.

Is the vBulletin port to Nuke very difficult, and could I save / import my present NukePHPBB board into vBulletin?

I tried to just install it where my other standalone PHPBB forum is located and I got the same error as before.

Well after much head scratching, I have two forums running on my PHPNuke site has well as the default Nuke forums that it came with all sharing the same nuke_user, nuke_bbuser_group, and nuke_group table.

Now I have a doozy of an issue.

My site is a game site of the 3rd Infantry Division playing the Call of Duty game. The majority of my moderators are in the NCO group.

nuke_bbuser_group.group_id = 7

After setting both forums up and doing some tweaking I logged off and logged onto my main forum. I immedialty noticed the majority of my moderators where now administrators on my Nuke forum.

My two sub forums now wont let me login as an admin with the admin account , saying I am not authorized to admin these forums.

My admin account is nuke_user.user_id = 10 which should have a group_id of 12

The user_id of 10 in the nuke_bbuser_groups has a concantenated key group_id = 7

group_id 7 belongs to the NCO's

Is this why all my NCO's changed to administrators in my PHPNuke forum?

Can I just manually change the group_id of my admin account to 12 and hope for the best.

I know this is a little "old" of a post, but has anything been done with this? I too am thinking of working on creating multiple forums in a single Nuke installation. I want to keep the user info, but everything else in the database must go. I ain't sure this has been done yet, but if anyone can point me in a good direction, it would be great.
