Eventually I found the mod I was looking for.

It works with a TinyPortal + SMF combination.

You need to register to download it.

Cool!, Thanks for posting this to the public as it is something many people have been trying to get their hands on .

No problem.

I just hope the technical php experts will participate at that site to further improve the mod.

I found it via a Google search, and search, and search, and search ..... !!!!!!! I have no connection to the site.

I'm actually the owner of the business venture for which I am using Mambo, TinyPortal and SMF. I have NO php, Java competencies. But I appreciate the effort from the Open Source community. It convinced me to move away from propriatory software.

I could attach the mod file here, but feel that the guy who developed it should receive acknowledgement through downloading from his/her site.

I do not think this is a solution for you.

The Multiple Forum Mod refers to SMF forums, not integrating different discussion forum software.

SMF terminology Forum refer to the whole site as your forum. The 1st categorization is called categories. What this mod does, is allow you to have multiple SMF forums, but single sign-on, single administration and single stats.

Your requirement sounds very, very challenging. My take on it is that its less work to convert completely to SMF, than to try and integrate the two.

yea i would rather do that but the main admiin who bought vbulletin doesnt want to just switch because he just bought it for $160.

If I had a vb license I'd help haha, but I'm sticking to smf, though I might buy a vb license later on after I first become a charter member here, just so I can mess around with it, and see what differences it uses. There are some simple things vb uses that I'd like to make work for smf.

@laserterd, I think he should sell the vb license and definitely switch to smf, because most everything vb is good for, smf has, and smf in my opinion has much more flexibility. With smf the options are limitless.

so would this allow two forums on different domains share the same database?
