MyBB Community Forums

Hey there!

I am currently running a large IPB forum and plan on converting to MyBB within the next few months however I do have an issue.

I have a forum, a game, and a forum within the game. With the upcoming merge I intend to make them all run off a master users table, however the theme and forums, categories and everything else should be seperate.

Is this possible? I have experience developing plugins, though this seems a little unique for just a plugin perhaps.

Any help and advice is appreciated.

It won't do this by default but I imagine you could use the merge tool to merge both forums in to a 3rd forum, then take that mybb_users table and upload it to both of your individual forums. After that, you could use on insert/update/delete triggers for each individual table to ensure the opposite table is kept in sync. So for example, when a new user is created in ForumA, the user record is also written to ForumB.

You can learn about MySQL triggers here

Triggers do sound interesting, never come across them personally. Would there be no way to hook into MyBB queries, check if it's updating a users table, if so switch database and update that database?

There are no hooks in the various files that are for the database class.
