Use external database

Hi Tuan,

Is it possible to configure eventbooking to use its own database.

We would like to use one instance of eventbooking for two site's. (Don't mind paying for 2 lisences). So that you van configure, edit, delete, etc from both site's.

I think that it would be possible... but you'd have to do a bunch of EB code modification and new custom code to create your own db access routines to connect to a db on a remote site rather than relying on the Joomla core's built-in routine.
Many site also block remote db access, you you might have an option on your web hosting control panel to allow access to a specified remote IP (my webhost allows me todo that on my account via a cPanel option).

Hi Dennis

As James pointed out, it is possible. But there are code modification needed in many places. Basically, need to create a method in the extension to return the $db object you want (instead of using $db = JFactory::getDbo(); as default)

Unless you are a good Joomla programmer (or have a good Joomla developer to help you), I don' t think you should go with this route.

Events Booking is a really good extension now but I am still working to improve it from time to time. If you use custom modification like this, you won't be able to update to future releases of the extension, too

Regards,

Tuan

No even sure why you'd want to do it...

But if you were doing it - have you looked into replication of the SQL tables?
