Thinking to buy 2nd photopost license but how do I make them use the same member DB?

[drache]

I want to run a 2nd photopost pro on a domatin2 but I still want it to get the member data from photopost pro + VB from domain 1. The album and photos use different data tho. Only needs them to share the same user database so members won't have to regsiter again.

Is this possible?

You can install different photopost installs to integrate with one vbulletin just install them in separate databases or if the same database make sure to use a different table prefix for the second install.

[drache]

even when they both on different domain and server?

[Chuck S]

well your english is not too clear here but it is as I say. You can install 2 different photoposts to integrate with a vb just use different table prefix.

Now if photopost is on a different server that vb you are not able to integrate with it anything other than user login if the vb server allows external mysql connections.

All depends on your setup really. My points are simply the do not do's

[drache]

So it's possible but not recommanded? because I am thinking to run different gallery on different domain with different contents but all using 1 member database.

[Chuck S]

well if you external forum server allows external mysql connections you ran integrate a photopost with those user logins but you can not use all the header footer style integrations as they require the forum to be on the same server as photopost.

[drache]

Oh if it's just that then no worries we can design another style for it. As long as the user database is the same so members won't have to register again.

And the photos are stored in different server/location/ database perfix.

So i will talk to my coders as soon as i comfirm with them I will buy another photopost pro license. Thanks for the quick reply again chuck

forgot something important. can different gallery have different user group permissions? or it must be the same.

[Chuck S]

you can assign permissionns per usergroup per category.

I need 2 photopost lincense to run it on 2 domains right?

In my emember's area I couldn't find the option allow me to buy another license. How do I add another license to my current member account?

[Chuck S]

You purchase another license from our online store here.

Just did. Waiting for the member area update now. chuck pls add the search by resolution in the search funtion. It's a very good feature. :P

[Chuck S]

search by resolution sorry you lost me there

[drache]

For example I am trying to search for 1600x1000+ resolution wallpapers only in the gallery. But I can't. I had to use google to search my own gallery for 1600x+ wallapapers. And that is not good. know what i mean now? I think this is very important search function taht photopost is missing.

[Chuck S]

your free to post any thoughts and suggestions in the suggestions forum for the developer to see.

[drache]

I did http://www.photopost.com/forum/showthread.php?t=133911

Just wondering if there is any plan adding this search function soon. If not I might just hire a coder to do it.

[drache]

chuck could you contact me on and give me the info on how much you charge to finish this work? on installing new gallery but using same member database. need asap pls.

[Chuck S]

If you need to purchase an install for photopost to be installed you can do so by hitting the purchase link in the header above and purchase the install.

[drache]

Does the install include link it to another gallery and move some category of the current database to the new one?

Also I still haven't recieve the license details yet.

[Chuck S]

what do you mean by link it?

You can create whatever categories you wish in Admin => Edit Categories. Categories can not be imported as you need to create it through admin so the corresponding data directories are created.

An install is simply going to properly install the gallery on your server in working order.
