1.       There will be one domain from "the other guy" and running their
VBB software. They wish to continue to run it as it is

2.       You wish to run another domain "B", with a forum that shares
the same posts, user and some other tables, with some sub-forum hidden
from B.

3.       B's forum need to be integrated with a front end Wordpress.

=20

Is the above correct?

=20

The above is not hard to implement. Now regarding Wordpress, there will
be the following questions:

=20

B1. VBB and Wordpress need to be integrated so that: 1) Member can
comment on blog items? 2) Member can post their own blog items? 3)
Anyother requirements?

B2. Will there be separate admins for A and B, or it would be the same?=20

B3. Can members register on site B?

Thanks Jie.

=20

Yes, case three covers it, i.e. Two domains, two instances of VBB, two
differing views, two licenses.

=20

One database: Parts will be shared, parts will exclusive to one or the
other, we'd like to grant logins for both. So we have shared content,
shared users, but some sub-forums hidden to certain users.

=20

Do you (or anyone else out there) do VBB integrations?

=20

The plan is to have a VBB nicely integrated into a Wordpress site, CSS
would come from a designer, database held by the other guys and they'll
give us access, it just needs CSS applying and popping into a Wordpress
page.

=20

I'd really welcome suggestions and quotes if anyone wants to help us get
this project off the ground.

=20

Thanks

Hi,

By "two instances of the software", do you mean two instance of VBB?
What exactly do you want to share, part of the sub-forum, grant login to
all registered user on both site, etc?

Does any of the three situations here
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?p=3D662081 describe your
solution?

Subject: [BNM] Sharing a Vbulletin forum

Does anyone have any experience with VBulletin?

http://www.vbulletin.com/

I'd prefer to use something that better integrates with Wordpress but =20
the partner we are working with already has a forum up and running and =20
we'd like to share the database.

Anyone know if it's possible to share subsets of the database and have =20
two instances of the software serving up the forum to two different =20
sites?

Any technical problems with this?

Also, given it's possible, do you think it would confuse users? In =20
that case I guess a co-branded solution on another domain would be the =20
best option for both parties?

What do people think? Good idea? Bad idea?

m.
