I am dealing with special task. As a user, moderator and admin of PHPBB 3.0.10 forum I’m tryin to solve the clue:

how to add to my forum topics and users from another forum. The catch is that this second forums database and files is from different server. Of course i have the keys to the server and database.

I was reading guides how to create double connection in php, but i haven’t any clue how to transform it for phpbb forums. Is it possible to do somehow? There is no special mods for this situation

Anyone can tell me what steps should I make?

    I did something like this once back with phpBB 2 – at that time they had a great knowledgebase article describing how to do exactly that. I dug up the link for you. This article was written back in 2007, though – not sure how relevant is to phpBB 3. May be worth a look regardless.

    However, I would imagine the general idea is the same. On one boards, define MySQL connection info for the opposite board, and edit constants.php to point to it. That should effectively make board #2 pull data from #1.
