putting at least one of the forums in a subdomain would also let you have active users for both forums.]]> Sun, 04 Dec 2005 14:06:45 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/advice-on-running-two-forums-on-one-site_topic10315_post94801.html#94801 <![CDATA[Advice on running two forums on one site : you would have to completey re...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/advice-on-running-two-forums-on-one-site_topic10315_post94795.html#94795 Author: dj air

you would have to completey re write parts of the forum software so that it uses a different a[pplication verible/array

that is the only way, unless you edit the forum files still alot, andadd another array field to store what forum they are in and change thesystem to query the forum group part so you know what forum the arrayrow is for.

Excellent - thanks -boRg- for a rapid assimilation of my query  
 
BTW I've been programming on various platforms since 81 and your code is the cleanest I've ever seen for distributed customisation - I'm totally new to ASP and so far this is like falling off a log - nice work

That should work fine, but you also need to:-
  1. Edit the common.asp file in the main forum files and disable theuse of application level variables by setting the variableblnUseApplicationVariables to false
  2. Turn off the active users list in both forums from the admin area, under the 'forum configuration' page.

I've had a good root around for the answer to this but feel I need to post for a solid one. My key question is: what do I need to do to run two forums (MSAccess version) from my website? My plan is this:
 
1) current directory for forum is /intelligence/, so set up /intelligence2/ with copy of /intelligence/ for starters.
 
2) point this to a new MDB, in same database folder as current one (saves a call to the ISP).
 
3) customise the default.asp's to show two login boxes, one for each forum.
 
Does this all sound OK? I would appreciate a brief sanity check that I've got a decent plan. The reason I am not setting this up with membership levels is the membership list needs to be secure within each forum - add to this any unforseen changes to the forum usage and I think I'm going the right way...?
 
Thanks in advance
