Different domain = different forum id and style

[Cubevisions]

Hello,

In my website, i have some different pages for every "main" subject of it. For example:

articles.programmingwebsite.com
downloads.programmingwebsite.com
source.programmingwebsite.com

I have a forum installed at www.programmingwebsite.com/forums/ and i have the following categories:

Articles
Downloads
Source

Each one with various sub-categories. So, what i'm planning to do is, provide a link to my visitors like this:

articles.programmingwebsite.com/forums
downloads.programmingwebsite.com/forums
source.programmingwebsite.com/forums

And that would automatically redirect them to my forum related category with a different style. Is that possible? Also, can i HIDE those forums from anyone viewing the main forum (www.programmingwebsite.com/forums), making them only visible by users visiting them by the correct url created? (eg.: articles.programmingwebsite.com/forums
downloads.programmingwebsite.com/forums
source.programmingwebsite.com/forums)

I believe what you're trying to do will require multiple licenses as you are hiding forums (based on domain).

I don't care about expending more money on extra licenses, but i want to know if it's possible, and how, to do that.

Yes, provided that the domains are all hosted on the same server and can access one database, it is possible. You will just need to catch the domain on entry and hook into whatever processes to hide/show the correct forums.

How i can do that?

This could easily be done with some template edits and a few plugins. There is even a modification that might giv you a good start: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=151514

I have a forum installed at www.programmingwebsite.com/forums/ (http://www.programmingwebsite.com/forums/) and i have the following categories
Did you remove this forum again, as i can not open that url.

Yes, that modification would give you a great start. All you would have to do is modify it a little to also hide forums.
