Hi Programmers!

Is it possible to merge user table of different databases?!
Ex: When you signin to your gmail, you can use other services of google by that your just account.
=> I have a website based on Joomla, a blog based on Wordpress and two forums, one of them is based on SMF2.0.1 and the other one uses phpBBS(multiforum). My users should separately register to each system and it is hard. they should login/logout to each system one by one!
I'm asking about a way to merge my users in one cloud! it means when user X registers from my Joomla system, he/she can use the other system by that account and the cookies will works well for all CMSs.
How can I do that?

Isn't here a programming forums? So, why no anwer to my question? at least, say it is not possible!

You need to create a master database in one of your applications and let the rest of them sync with that one.
usually, there is plugins to let you help achieving this. My first though, is why you have all those systems in parallel? It makes a messy solution and won't help you in the long run. Try to lessen it by combining more than one task in the same system. I'm sure joomla has extentions to make it both a blog and a forum aswell, otherwise, look at wordpress or drupal instead for a one system website.

1. surely, joomla form! won't be as well as a smf forum. am I wrong?
2. converting contents of my blogs and forums to one, will makes unknown problems!

It ain't easy, I agree totally, but in the long run, what is best? It feels like a big problem and you will need to address the problem in some way. I would do a testrun at a test site and test things out when trying to connect or convert your data. I know most cms has poorly forumsystems, and integration is tough. I believe your systems is not the largest solutions, so its absolutely possible noone have made any connectors.

I found! Home can bridge Joomla & MyBB; Jommla & SMF, too.
Now I'm asking for merging MyBB With MyBB! It should not be more difficult than Merging Joomla with MyBB? have you ever such experience?
And I want to merge MyBB with SMF too?!
