I'm new to Geeklog so I'm sorry if this sounds like a dumb question.

I have a Geeklog site and I'm thinking about adding a forum with the forum plugin and installing the phpbb bridge add-on. My question is if I have to buy an additional sql database or can I use the same one? Any other tips would be appreciated.

Thanks

Please note that the forum plugin and the phpBBBridge are two separate things (unless you want to run two forums at once ...).

The forum plugin actually requires the forum tables to be in the same database. Not quite sure about the phpBBBridge, but I think it's the same there.

bye, Dirk

Yep, Dirk is right. The phpBBBridge requires the Geeklog and phpBB tables to all be in the same database.
