Sharing database with existing forum

[eunzo]

Hello all,

Little confuse here. I want to share gallery database with existing forum so I followed the installation instructions and now everything is working fine but when I check config-inc.php, $database and $database_bb are both set to the same database which is the database for existing forum. However, installation manual says,

If you plan to use PhotoPost's internal user registration system rather than interfacing with a forum user database, make sure that $database and $database_bb are both set to the same PhotoPost database.

What am I missing here? Isn't that supposed to be the other way around?

Please advice this poor guy here. Thanks in advance and thanks for wonderful product!

No! Read the statement you have linked above.

It is telling you if your not going to be running with an external forum make sure both database entries match so Photopost looks for its users in its own table.
