link 2 calendars to one database

I have 2 calendars with their own licence keys.
Is it possible to link these 2 calendars from different domain names to one database?

Thank you for your help

Hi Andrew,

Just so I'm absolutely clear, you want 2 different installations of Thyme to see the same events?

yes but I have 2 calendars on different domain names.
When I remote the db on the 1 to the other I get the wrong licence key issue

I can only see having to put both cal on the same server and hotlinking to the cal direct

In this case you will have to add the license key to the other's configuration file. Edit include/config.php in Thyme's folder, remove the ?> at the bottom of the file and add this:

Still have the licence issue at site2

Recap
the db is at site1
at site2 in the config file I removed ?> and added
define("_CAL_LICENSE_KEY_", "EC0CCF238571106830B61F4E3F267783");
the key is from site1 database

Is that what you instructed

Hi,

All is well except that the key should be for site2, not for site1.

changed the key to site2 key and still have licence failure
so in site2 I have the site2 licence key in includes/config.php in place of ?>

define("_CAL_LICENSE_KEY_", "A9118B06C9C45164CAFD7D23CDBC8ACB");

if it is any help
in site2 config.php is where I am pointing to site1 db
define("_CAL_DBHOST_", "81.17.252.59");
define("_CAL_LICENSE_KEY_", "A9118B06C9C45164CAFD7D23CDBC8ACB");

Tried

Removing the key from the db on site1

then added site1 key to site1 config.php
define("_CAL_LICENSE_KEY_", "EC0CCF238571106830B61F4E3F267783");

and added site2 key to site2 config.php
define("_CAL_LICENSE_KEY_", "A9118B06C9C45164CAFD7D23CDBC8ACB");

now both cal on site1 and site2 return the site error
Thyme's license has expired. You may purchase Thyme at http://www.extrosoft.com

Sorry for being a pain - I have another 3 sites that will need linking this way for a Hotel chain extranet

Hi Ian
It must have been a cache problem
The 2 sites are now linking to one db without the licence errors
Thank you Ian for your help

I just have one more warning with attachements url
On site1 no Attachments Warning when "Allow file attachments:"

On site2 I get the warning
Warning: Attachments directory /home/url/site1/public_html/Events/attachments does not exist or is not writable.

The folder "attachments" exists on site1 and chmod 777

Any suggestions

Hi,

Ahh.. yes. The attachments folder must be overridden by the config file as well. On site 2, add this to include/config.php after the line containing define("_CAL_BASE_PATH_","..."):

define("_CAL_ATTACHMENTS_PATH_", _CAL_BASE_PATH_."attachments");
