syncing CB users between 2 sites

syncing CB users between 2 sites was created by giuse3
Hi, I have 2 sites with CB (Joomla 1.5, CB 1.4). I need the two sites to share the users so that they can register on one and login on both. I think it's a common problem.
To do that I created DB views on the second DB to see DB tables of the first site (like "create view jos_users as select * from site1.jos_users;") but I think it's not the best solution, CB config tools throws me errors (of course) and I got problems in trying to upgrade from 1.4 to 1.7.
Is there a better way to do that? Using one of the incubator plugins?
Probably just the sessions should not be synchronized, since they refer to specific data on the site, so not to be shared.
Thanks a lot

Giuse

All you need is incubator project CB Queries. From there you'd perform an external database query after the registration trigger and create the user. You'll need to ensure ACL is covered and the core features of the user are covered. Below would be an appropriate query for CB Queries.
INSERT INTO `#__users` ( `name`, `username`, `email`, `password`, `usertype`, `block`, `sendEmail`, `gid`, `registerDate`, `lastvisitDate`, `activation`, `params` ) VALUES ( '[name]', '[username]', '[email]', '[cb:userdata field="password" /]', '[usertype]', 0, 0, [gid], '[registerDate]', '[lastvisitDate]', '', '\n' );
INSERT INTO `#__core_acl_aro` ( `section_value`, `value`, `order_value`, `name`, `hidden` ) VALUES ( 'users', ( SELECT `id` FROM `#__users` WHERE `username` = '[username]' ), 0, '[name]', 0 );
INSERT INTO `#__core_acl_groups_aro_map` ( `group_id`, `section_value`, `aro_id` ) VALUES ( [gid], '', ( SELECT `id` FROM `#__core_acl_aro` WHERE `value` = ( SELECT `id` FROM `#__users` WHERE `username` = '[username]' ) ) );

Please note the above is just an example and may need changes. Please ensure you've tested it thoroughly before deploying to a live site. Beyond this I can't help you with synchronizing tables as CB has no support for multiple DBs, sorry.
