Merge databases together

Post by meme »

Hi,

I would be interested to know if I could merge a joomla website with a different cms together and get he databases to sync. So that users can log into the site using Joomla but use the functions of the property cms.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

Pretty much anything CAN be done, just what it involves, well that is another issue.

IE, we have one client, the main website has users that the site imports nightly from their member list.

The site also has phpBB on it, but that has been modified so that phpBB uses the login credentials from the main site instead of its own. (I didn't get to write it for their old site, but it is on my plate to do with with the new site being built for them (which also means finally an upgrade for phpBB on the site).

Without knowing what all the other system uses, it is kinda hard to point to ways to do it, especially if it is something custom built.
