Hi,
I am building 2 sites for a client. They must look different, have different url and display different content, but both need to share the users database and the forum. The general idea is that no matter from what site they are logging in, they go to the same forum disguised under the site name and url they used to access it.

I am using kunena forum and so far joomla 1.6.6, but will switch to 1.7 as soon as possible.

Can multisite do this?

thanks for any help,

Sandra

Dear Sandra, yes this is possible with Jms Multi Sites.
See the video 16 that show how to share the extensions and in particular the users.
www.jms2win.com/en/tutorial#jms12x-16

Kunena is also an extension that can be shared.
See the list of extension that are defined in Jms tools menu.

Hi

I have 2 questions about Kunena forum in multisite.

1. How to set up slave site with kunena forum to work under slavesite.com not on slavesite.com/forum.
I don't know my question is clear. If not please ask me additional questions.

2. Can I have master site on J1.5 and slave on J3.1?

1) If you install kunena in a slave site, you can have it in a domain, subdomain or subdirectories.
You can for example create a slave site like
forum.domain.com that will be a website specialized for the forum.

2) As the concept of JMS is to share the same joomla application, by definition all the websites are runing under the same version.
If you want to have different version of Joomla, you need as many master than you have joomla version. It is technically possible to share the JMS slave site defintiion between different joomla version but not the content or create sharing between the different version of joomla. You will have to create the website for each specific joomla version from the master corresponding to the appropriate joomla version.

So this is technically possible and we already did that for us but this is dangerous and you must take care manually on which website is built by which master.
Personnally, we used a naming convention in the site ID to identify the different joomla version.
