[Dnacms-devel] Sharing Users

[Eric C. <e_c...@ro...>]

Hey guys,

I'm doing a few little sites right now for Tony Patrick, and I've =
convinced him to let me use the DNACMS. The one thing from Nuke that I =
would like to be able to give him is the ability to share the users =
table across sites so that people visiting these sites can use the same =
username and password for each site. Now the way Nuke does this, is =
multiple sites will share the same database, and you give the tables in =
the database a different prefix for each site. Then you tell nuke what =
the prefix is for the users table, and they all share it.

If I was goind to implement this ability into the DNACMS, do you think I =
should go with a similar approach to that? I was thinking that a better =
option may be to let each site have their own database, then tell the =
CMS which of the databases to use for user info. I would think that =
would be easier to manage instead of having multiple instances of each =
table in one database with different prefixes. However, that means the =
engine will be connecting to two different databases (potentially on two =
different servers)... will that be a speed issue?

Your thoughts?

Eric
