Guest Posted January 22, 2003 Share Posted January 22, 2003 I have installed phpNuke v.6 in my website, and would like to add shopping feature, but my hosting server allows me to create one MySQL database only. Can osCommerce be used with phpNuke on the same database? will they crash? Any suggestions :?: Many thanks :!: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VyReN Posted January 22, 2003 Share Posted January 22, 2003 hah no I'd like to disagree. While having such a huge database will slow things down, I've seen no reason you cannot add the OSC tables to a common database... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loxly Posted January 22, 2003 Share Posted January 22, 2003 I have installed phpNuke v.6 in my website, and would like to add shopping feature, but my hosting server allows me to create one MySQL database only. Can osCommerce be used with phpNuke on the same database? will they crash? Any suggestions :?: Many thanks :!: There are many sites running phpNuke and postNuke with osCommerce. they can share the same database, but they will not share users. They will have to sign up for the shopping separately. There are many people working on integrating these applications. Go to google.com and search on oscommerce and nuke and you should find some fine examples of sites, I found many last night. onebusycat.com was one and I can't think of the others right now. Most sites try to use the same "theme" for both sites, making them "fit" together better.

Guest Posted January 23, 2003 Share Posted January 23, 2003 Thank you Debbie, but I still want to ask - will phpNuke and osCommerce have some table names / object names that are the same, which may cause loss of data? I think the 2 apps put to the same domain is okay, but if there's just one database, will they crash? Sorry for repeating my question, this point is very critical to me :oops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattice Posted January 23, 2003 Share Posted January 23, 2003 in application_top.php you can assign the names you want for tables. So you edit the oscommerce.sql that comes with the package PLUS application_top.php ie: customers becomes osc_customers banners becomes osc_banners etc etc "Politics is the art of preventing people from taking part in affairs which properly concern them" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VyReN Posted January 23, 2003 Share Posted January 23, 2003 You shouldn't need to worry about changing any table names, as all of the nuke tables start with "nuke_". I just merged my PHPNuke database with my OSC database, and everything works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for repeating my question, this point is very critical to me :oops: They do not share any table names at all. As a matter of fact, by changing the nuke_ prefeix you can hae multiple instances of nuke in the same database.
