Thread:Extension talk:Simple Farm/Is there a way to make this use the same database for the wikis?/reply (22)

I'm using separate databases, but I have mw_ as the table prefix. I forgot to add this when running the install script, which resulted in having different prefixes on each database. The extension seems to only be able to handle one prefix; it can't be set per wiki.

I could put together a shell script fairly quickly, though my ultimate goal would be to make a secondary extension that adds a form for allowing users to create new wikis on their own. There would be issues with getting the extension to securely run a shell script with input from the form. I don't actually know if it's possible for PHP to run a shell script, plus I have obvious security concerns. I'll add a link on the extension page if I can get it set up.

Do you know if this extension can work with a shared user table for global accounts? It would make it much easier to manage wiki administrators, especially with a global staff group.
