MAny Sites...One Database....Sentinel

Posted: Wed Nov 21, 2007 12:25 am

Greetings All,
I am working on many sites sharing the users table and I would like them to share the Sentinel tables as well. (and IP to Country)

My questions is How does Sentinel work from a database standpoint? I assume it calls config and the nuke_ prefix. How many changes are we talking about to get Sentinel to call a differnet prefix than the one set in config?

The issue is I do not want to have to update each site each time an update is released. I would rather update the tables once and then just upload the files to the rest of the sites. Think about Ip to Country alone. Every time there is an update I would have to do it 20 times.....that is 20 times the space....20 times the overhead.

Thank You for your help!

Could I not just add a new $prefix to config and then go through Sentinel and change the prefix calls?

I do share the IP2Country tables. There are a couple of places that are referenced, I replace them with my own nickname.

I would leave the other ones like the nsnst_admins alone
