Multiple vBs using the same memberlist?

[TWTCommish]

Can vBulletin be somehow configured (via DB backups, code hacks, server configurations, or anything else) to use the same user base across multiple occurences of the script?

I have done this in the past. It is very possible to do this. It requires code changes in almost every file but it can be done.

What's the general idea behind it? I was thinking that I'd have to create a new global method that behaves similar to the DB_site one, only calls on a different DB. I guess I'd then have to go in and find ALL the queries dealing with the "user" table, and change the name of the method they're calling?

Sorry to bump, but I have no choice. :)

Ever get your problem solved, Chris?

[TWTCommish]

I may have. Wayne was kind enough to contact me personally. He gave me some advice, but I have yet to attempt this feat. :) I may be giving it a go shortly, though.

I have told the developers that I would not publicly release this information. It is actually quite easy if you know how to use MySQL.
