2 site with the same DB of users

[gacon]

Hello all,

I have 2 sites (Joomla) on the same host: alo.ynghia.com (A) and video.ynghia.com (B).

I would like to:

- When users register into site A, he will be added automatically into site B
- And when users register into site B, he will be added automatically into site A

Which file i should modify?

thanks,

Since your have two totally separate websites, it is not a simple matter of "changing a file".
You shoud really have a "portal" website for logging in and do the registrations on both websites.
Having said that, you still have to build the interfaces to both websites to do the registration part.
This will be complicated because that interface must contain the registration coding and be able to write the user information into both databases.
It also needs to take care of other user directed tasks if you want to keep everything synchronous, like "lost passwords" , removing users, etc.

I would not know of a simple solution.

Is there a way of merging the websites and use separate templates for the type of websites? That would make things a lot easier

If you are running 1.5, I would look at building a user plugin that would handle the onAfterStoreUser event which could be used to sync the two user databases.

The other alternative would be to create an XML-RPC plugin that would serve as a remote auth module, and then write an authentication plugin to talk to this plugin.
