Merged [Merged topic] Multiple forums on one site?

As I know you should use different installation on different database.

In my case, we are hosting the websites for 40 pharmacy's. Each one needs its own forum.

We need to work on one joomla installation because 95% of the content is the same for every pharmacy.
If you look on www.mijnapothekersadvies.be , you will see our network and the sites of the pharmacy's.

So, is Kunena a solution for us?

Het KAN wel....
Met enige 'extra's'

Ik draai kunena samen met CB
Daarnaast gebruik ik JUGA om geregistreerde gebruikers 'aparte' rechten per 'Juga' groep te geven.
Ik heb ook de 'Aankondigingen' uitgezet, omdat die voor IEDEREEN zichtbaar blijven.
Door gebruik te maken van de rechten van JUGA draait het forum, met 2 groepen op 1 (een) site.
Gebruikers van de 2* groepen 'zien' elkaars materiaal niet, ook elkaars forum niet.
Als je de rechten correct toekent....

Ik weet niet of het de 'simpelste' en / of de elegantste manier is, maar ik kan er in mijn omgeving mee uit de voeten.
Er komt, in september, nog een 'groep' bij

*= 1 groep en een groep met 2 subgroepen dus zijn het er feitelijk 3

Voordat ik dit eindelijk draaiend had, ben ik met stukjes en beetjes een jaartje verder... (Ik ben geen developer in Joomla, maar 'weet een beetje' van VBA programmeren af)

Bedenk eer gij begint....

Herrie: This is an English language-only category. Please write only in English here.

This topic is about creating the virtually impossible: how to have multiple independently-running instances of Kunena operating on the same Joomla installation (or, in other words, is it possible to install Kunena many times on the same website). Although Herrie's observations about JUGA are a little off-topic in that context, I really think his approach is the best and safest bet.

Rather than trying to create multiple instances of Kunena on the one Joomla site, a better option is to run one instance of Kunena with controls on who can interact within different sections of it. This approach is entirely feasible with ACLs and there are several third-party developers of ACL-related software in the Joomla space: Noix and JUGA are two examples.

In effect, that is what Herrie was saying and that approach to tackling the problem is the subject of [Merged topic] User Groups, User Group Privileges, ACLs .

This question here - how to have multiple independently-running instances of Kunena operating on the same Joomla installation - is probably never going to be successfully answered: I do not think that it's advisable (or possible) to try; if you could do it then it would be very complicated to set up; there are better alternatives.

And, finally, once you tackle the ACL issue, yes, Kunena is a perfectly reasonable forum solution for the purposes outlined in earlier postings to this topic.

Actually, Sozzled, can't we just make one category and its children invisible to other categories and their children?

Most of this is already possible in Kunena 1.6

Please check out the "Playground" forum here on kunena.com.

You can display any category or section of kunena by itself on a separate joomla page.
