Re: [Slashcode-development] variable table names

[Eric D. <eri...@ja...>]

Um, thats a great idea. I too would be interested in such a thing. But,
maybe there is an easier way?

Two ideas.

1. Have one user database's users table be the main userbase, and change
the other sites SQL stuff to reference slash.users instead of their
internal users table. That might work......

2. Perhaps modify the users.pl so when you make changes and stuff, it
updates all the related sites's databases (ie: you have users table in
all the sites, and have the code update the user info across the board.)

Ideas just off the top of my head. But I think a Bender module would be
better and hopefully we all can start using Bender instead of Slash 1.0.9
real soon? ;-)
