MyBB Community Forums

Hi guys, is it possible to establish several forums with different domains on the same server using the same database, so when someone posts something on forum A it will also be posted in forum B ? If this is possible how can I do it?

Thanks in advance!

It's not a simple thing to do, of all the people who have asked for anything like this nobody has managed to do it. If they're going to share the same content why not just redirect one domain to the other...??

Well the aim is for each forum to specialise in a specific area but also include other related posts which visitors will be interested in too. Do you know how this can be done?

Can you not just add pages and link each page on ur main forum?

Main Forum - www.yoursite.com/mainforum
Forum 2 - www.yoursite.com/forum2
Forum 3 - www.yoursite.com/forum3

Get the main page template of your main page , delete the content and add what you need to the other pages.

I think this is what your looking for, if im wrong , sry.

Just link directly to a category rather than the forum index, for example http://community.mybboard.net/forum-80.html

You can even set a different theme for each category.

Tim,

If changing your name and avatar to the ones of Ghazal is an april fool joke, i find it provocative and insulting for me as well as for the community. This is childish and unprofessional from the part of a "Support Team" member.

P.S. Impersonating someone else is also against the law in America as elsewere in the world...

P.P.S. Now i can see that you have taken the "Mark.M" place instead and changed you avatar 2 minutes ago...

thanks for the replies,
and to Dunlop03 if I was to do that then there would be no way of changing the settings, the themes ect. I want all three to function as separate forums but share content, but starting to think this is not possible?

This is possible. If I understand correctly, you want CONTENT only to be shared? Well, then pay someone to write a plugin to post said content on the other boards whenever its posted on the first one. They're annoying though. Very annoying plugins to write. So don't expect it to be cheap. I would probably charge upwards of $50 for it. Maybe $100.

well it can't be too hard to make, I mean you can have two forums sharing the same database info but then that means they have to be identical. I think $100 is pretty steep, I'd pay $40 or so for such a thing, think you can do it for me?
