Hi, I've got two installations of SMF which share a common user table. One of these is already integrated with mambo, how would I go about installing your component a second time round for a second forum?

Well you can't, because it's not designed to work with multiple forum in one domain.

Yeah, I understand it's not designed to do this, but do you have any idea how easy it would be to hack it?

Can you elaborate more about your configuration? How did you configure it to share a common user table?

I have a pretty standard integration of SMF 1.02 and Mambo 4.5.1a, using your Mambo Integration component. In addition to this, I've got an extra installation of SMF 1.02 on the same database, which shares members, membergroups, and instant message tables, as per: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=16190.0;all . As the article says, I've simply done this by hacking all of the files in the sources directory, and changing the database prefix for the relevant tables. I've been using this setup for a while now, and the members, member groups and messages appear to be shared well, and generally the setup works fine.

What I was wondering, however, is whether it would be possible to install your mambo integration component a second time, so that both of my smf installations would be be able to work within the Mambo template.

Hope that clears it up, and thanks.
