    Advice Needed

    I am so far, just learning all about Joomla and what it can do.

    If some one can advise me on how to work on the following set up I intend to create.

    3 sites into 1

    1 = Community (information and bulletins)
    1 = Personal (My Space)
    1 = Professional (for the business side)

    All need to share users and passwords info.

    How would I go about joining the 3 together. yet remain seperate?

    Re: Advice Needed

    Mmh this is a tough one..
    But I think the best way is to add on every website something like partners or something like that.If you have 3 seperate webhosts, create on one webhost a big user database where all users information is placed and the other websites just loads it from there. If you have only 1 webhost for 3 websites, make one database for users and the others for your websites(new and stuff..)
    Mmh I hope it helps, maybe I interpreted it wrong..
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    If you have any troubles with a website or a script, just send me a pm.

    I also code websites in xHTML/css, can code javascript and php too if needed

    I would just make three sites... choose one for the root domain name, and make a sub-domain for each... as far as hosting or storage it really doesn't matter whether you share a sql server and a host as long as you have the seperate domains and use a different db for each

    If you use a different DB for each, sharing the userbase becomes harder. Of course you could hack the logins and registrations and all to do a SSO (Single Shared Signon) but that's a little tougher, you might have to consider coding it yourself or hiring someone to do so.
