If you manage multiple sites and want to allow your users to use a single login id & password for *all* of your sites, then SYNK is for you. SYNK will synchronize the __users table in the selected databases (even across multiple domains) upon the user events you select, such as onLogin and onAfterStoreUser.
If you also want to synchronize your content across multiple domains, then SYNK is for you. SYNK will synchronize your __content table in the selected databases upon the content events you select, such as onAfterContentSave and onAfterDisplayContent.
SYNK also allows you to execute custom database queries on user and content events. Want to add a user to a new group upon their next login? Want to remove them from a group when they logout? SYNK can do that.
If you can think of any other uses for SYNK that we haven't built in, let us know! SYNK is plugin-friendly, so a plugin could be created for it to make SYNK do anything... synchronize your Community Builder database tables, Fireboard forum tables, Ajax shoutboxes, etc.

Excellent product. 5 stars. I tried many other products to sync users between Joomla sites for single sign-on, without success. This one did it!

This is really great...
It is really really great.
I have tow site one with SOBI2 and One with Jmember (joomsuite).
I was asking my member to do tow registration because I didnt wanted to install all the component on the same site.
Then I receive this mail (rss feed) from joomla extension.
I went on the site at 1am, tow hours later I have paid 39€ and both my sites are synchronized. I can register in one or an other and be member one the other.
I am not a pro.
If you need your user to suscribe on tow site just by it.
Easy and so far every things is working.
(Payment process + accessibility + rapidity)
I like this and I needed to say it.
Cheers

We've been looking for a component like Synk for a long time.
Now we have it, and it simply does what we need. It synchronizes users and contents among different sites.
It does it fast and cleanly.
Good work!

A good idea, a good and user friendly extension which means to be robust , BUT and It s a BIG BUT, this extension doesn t synchronize Community Builder. It s probematic and not clearly mention in their site.
Hope it will be quickly done!

Thanks for the review! I'm not sure why you thought SYNK would synchronize your CB tables (or any other 3pd User Manager, for that matter) out-of-the-box when 1) the description above clearly states that SYNK synchronizes your __users table and 2) our SYNK FAQs page-- http://www.dioscouri.com/synk/faqs/ --clearly states that synchronizing CB tables requires the use of a SYNK plugin. Thanks!

Not much I can say except if you want to Sync users across Multiple websites, this product rocks! ... At the first install I had a problem, and put in a ticket to support, they told me what to do & the problem was solved in just 1 ticket.
Great product, great support ....
Great product, great support ....

I have installed, used and generally dealt with nearly 100 or more components and the support associated with them. The folks at Dioscouri absolutely amaze me with their support and willingness to make the end user happy. While support form most components it spotty at best - even those that are paid for, Dioscouri responds timely and professionally.
This is a much called for database syncing component that actually works and is very reasonably priced. The Joomla forums are loaded with requests for such a feature. Hey folks, if you are making money with your site, support the authors!
Installation of the component and plugins was easy. Their instructions were simple and straight-forward and the component does exactly what the authors claim and more.
Syncing jos_user tables across multiple Joomla! domains ( ours are presently all on one server, so your mileage may vary) is now hands-off, and several sync-trigger options are included for specific needs. This component has finally released us all from the tedium of manual database syncs.
All configuration happens in the control panel - no config file to manually edit. The component can use the joomla db log-in or it's own db log-in, so you can create a user account just for Sync, and authorize it only for the jos_user tables for added security.
For busy sites, the admin can limit DB load by hour/day/week/etc.
The only caveat I could find: Sync only supports the jos_user table synchronization by default. Additional tables can, however, be synced by the use of the custom query option. Unless db query commands are in your skill-set, syncing additional tables could be troublesome. This can easily be overcome by the user with a little learning.
