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.phpto point to it. That should effectively make board #2 pull data from #1.
