Topic: 2 different installations using the same user table.
is it possible to install two punbb's that use the same database but only share the user table?
thank you,
jochem.
Re: 2 different installations using the same user table.
The reason is, i want to have a dutch and english forum totally seperated except for the users. (because there are almost no english speaking people who speak dutch, but there are a lot of dutch speaking people who can speak english)
So if anyone can help me.....
Re: 2 different installations using the same user table.
Two simple options:
1. Make everyone to speak english
2. Make two separate forums, like the international ones in this forum

Yes, that are two simple options.. option 2 is the one i have right now on my invision power board. I don't want that anymore, i want two seperate forums.
Re: 2 different installations using the same user table.
why not replicate the usertable between 2 forums...

Thats not a good solution.
If you have some PHP skill you can rewritten some SQL queries..

i have some php skills, but i don't know where to look 
Re: 2 different installations using the same user table.
Look for the queries fetching data from the user table, then change them so the both forums points to the same user table.. Thats the only solution I can think of right now.

Re: 2 different installations using the same user table.

i logged off from the forum, but my forum is on maintenance mode, seems like i can't login anymore to change it. Where in the database should i change it back to 'online mode'?
Thank you.

Look in your "extra" folder after a file named "turn_off_maintenance_mode.php"
