Database or Tables?

GeeklogLast time I tried installing geeklog I noticed that geeklog wants a database all to itself and as a result I lost a lot of tables in my hosted mySQL database. Fortunately I only had test sistes on that server :) For those of use whose sites are hosted on remote servers an extra database has cost implications. I have noticed how software such as phpnuke and postnuke manages with a set of tables denoted by a chosen prefix. Would it be possible for geeklog to do the same? Could this be put on the request list for the legendary version 1.4 Thanks Tony Carr

depending on what version you have, you already have that possibility. In the newest 1.3.5rc1 it\'s in config.php search for gl_ In older versions it should be in /system/lib-database.php

You can change the table prefix, gl_, to whatever you want and leave all your stuff in your one database.

Hopefully that helps you out.
