I've been visiting these boards for some time now and I like vBulletin. I use vBulletin for my "guild" website. I put guild in quotes because its currently in transition as a result of changes in the EQ environment. (IE most of us don't play anymore).

I noticed a nifty thing done here that I have been trying to figure out how to do with my own vBulletin board. You have those sub boards linked off of this one. Now, I know hot to link a forum to a different address, but I don't know how you might be running three forum home pages on one database.

See, what I'd like to do is have a forum home page that has links to Horizons, City of Heros, Worlds of Warcraft and whatever else but to have them linked to their own forums similar to how this board has them linked.

Are you running three or more copies of vBulletin or is there some feature that I haven't been able to find?

Very very tricky. I'm the one that actually did the coding alterations for that. It is indeed three boards running off the same database. To be a bit more spacific; it's multiple tables running off their own set of tables in the same database with a merge/cross of spacific (name user based) tables.

It's really not a feat to be taken on if you don't understand true perl and PHP scripting. A lot of automatied process took place, and just one mistake could really flank up the forums pretty bad.It required a lot of command line search and replace changing as well as some quick PHP hacks.

Yup, Mr. Guice's hack code runs all this now.

The Grove brought 3 copies of VB. This is the only way to really do what we did, without VB getting all huffy.

And how are you generating your Perl and PHP via Visual Basic? Heh.

perl -pi -e "s|VB|vB|g" `find .`

Rahjeir is a VB guru. :p

and all this time I thought you two had magic wands or something.. /blinks
