Topic: A thought about using one db table set for several forum installations

Ok, so I've been looking at the source of punbb a lot lately, and I came to a thought.

So all the links it gives to topics and stuff are based off of punroot, which is equivalent to wherever the user is viewing the forum from.

But then its include crap uses the configuration baseurl.

So I'd like to think that you could run a forum with same DB and everything from like 5 locations, and have one central one for the punbb config baseurl. Is there a flaw in my logic, or would this theoretically work?

Actually, you have it backwards (I'm talking about 1.3 behavior here). wink
The links use the base URL and the includes use PUN_ROOT. For 1.2, the only difference is that links, etc don't use base URL
