Sharing data base info
Posted: Wed Dec 18, 2002 12:25 pm
have 3 databases on my sites: one for chatrooms, IM, and forums. How can I make it so you don't have to login to each seperately? Once people sign up for the forum(which is really overall page sign-up) I don't want them to have to register again for IM. Is there a way to just copy the username and password tables from the forum database to the IM database?
The table for the IM is called users. The Table for the forum is called ibf_members. The password fields are both called password but the fields for the usernames have different names.
Would it be as simple as using the forum data base instead of a seperate database for the IM then adding the one field "chatdata" that is not included in both?
