Different Softwares but same database?

[suhalim998]

I am trying to use different softwares but all in one website. For example, in my website, one page is forums using Joomla, and the other page is project management software or something like that. But I don't want users to register twice for different softwares. How could I use the same database containing user login info in different softwares from fantastico or softaculous??

Check the sites for the scripts you want to use and see if there is some sort of bridge between the two.

Otherwise you would have to write your own.

Most scripts will let you use the same database, just prefixing Joomla's tables with something like joom_ and the other script with something like foobar_ , but connecting the two user login/authentication systems has to be done separately.
