The website I am working now needs data from another existing database. I would like to know how to make XOOPS connect to that other database (which is using a different MySQL port from XOOPS database) but same host. Can anyone help? Thanks.

you have to change data in mainfile.php to the new MySQL server: for example:
define('XOOPS_DB_HOST', 'sql.xxx.com:3305');

I still want to be connected on the XOOPS database. I just want to connect to another database while I am also connected to XOOPS database. What you suggested means that I can only connect to one database at a time.
