Hi,
does anyone know how to run 2 joomla sites off 1 database but only having 1 of the joomla sites read the contents items only and no more?

Hope you can help

hmmmm, you can have two joomla's running in one db by using a different table prefix.  If you're going to try it, I'd change the prefix of both, that way if something isn't using the prefix properly, it'll tell you by erroring out.

Doing this would mean you'd have two completely separate sites running though.

Without changing the core code, you could use one site for all updates, and then run a cron job at night to recreate all the content in the second site.

If I think of anything else, I'll add post it.

I know it's a stupid statement but just in case someone misses that, you'd have to use two different directories.

Just be careful not to be punished by Google on the basis of duplicated content. Google indexes everything, but it could choose not to index too, or make you look bad. Their algorithms are tricky, just avoid duplicated content whenever possible. They hate it.

That might be possible by having "index, follow" on the main site and "noindex, nofollow" on the other.

How do you do this exactly?  I think this is a question I've been trying to get answered but I don't have the code savvy to understand what you just said.  Could you show in code how to use a different table prefix?  Thanks... :-[

Keep in mind what InnerFlash said.  Google will rank your sites low for having duplicate content.  With that in mind, here goes the answer to your question just to have it out here in the forum, but please read the entire response.


Install your first Joomla in directory A.  During the install, you can define what you want the table prefix to be.

Install your second Joomla in directory B. During the install, be sure you use the same database configuration but a different table prefix.

OK that doesn't sound too bad.  But now comes the really hard part (if you don't have a coding background).  You'll need to dive into the code and set it up so it'll read/write all the content to the same set of tables.

Based on your previous message, I'm thinking this isn't something you want to do.  It'll take some serious work within Joomla to get all the sections/categories/articles all working properly.


Perhaps you can let us know what you're trying to do and there might be another option.

Hey, thanks for taking the time to respond.  Wow, isn't there an easier solution?  ???  Perhaps some special software or something?

Actually I had a thought.  You could have one site as the "master" where all content is placed.  Syndicate this site.


Then the second site would get the feeds from the first.

Probably not exactly what you were looking for, but it's probably the easiest way to do it.

Well, it's worth a try anyway, just to see what kind of results I get.  Now how exactly do syndicate a site? :'(

sorry, but I don't recall how.  From a vague memory, it seemed like it didn't take much, but of course it's always where does that little bit of work go.

Glad that I found this page.
First of all, I am running 2 joomla sites linking to ONE database.
1st site --> General Classifieds
2nd site --> Property Classifieds

I wish to display only property related classifieds on my 2nd site, is that possible?

Because whatever changes that I make from one site, it will appear the same on the other.

Thanks

Another thought, may be I can have separate databases for my 2 sites, whatever new post or changes on my property related classifieds (2nd sites) will update the respective fields on my 1st general classifieds site.

Easier or possible?

i have two sites and would like to use one data base. But the two sites are completely different. What I'm trying to do is keep and maintain the users on both nothing else.

I mean I know that I can just use the one DB but then what ever I change in one will change in the other, right ?

So more less less I'm trying to duplicate the one site, but by making it more kid friendly then the other. Does anyone one know how I can do this... Thank you..

I know I'm picking up an old thread here, but I'm seeking this same solution. I need two sites to run off the same database. My two will be hosted in the same place, perhaps one in a subdirectory, and they will pull from just one DB so I don't have to update both.

Anyone ever find a solution on this?

one easiest solution is to host one website to a subdomain and syndicate it. thats what i did. on the other hand, hire a web developer to develop your website. ;)

Why would you want to do this anyway? What are you trying to achieve?

I would still like a response to this. Using the search tool, this post is definitely unique. We need more topics for this question, the answer would definitely benefit my http://www.premereautodetail.com website. Thanks for all the other helpful info though.
