seperate forums by domain

[J0PA]

Hello there,

I want to make something vbulletin.org site. I want to have one forum, but to seperate it in subforums. So when a user push the software button to see the forums of software, when he push the games button to see the games forums. Like you do on vbulletin.org, user push the mods go to mods forum, user push styles go to styles forum etc.

Is that possible? needs any extra software to do it? or it has to do with the design?

I am also thinking of having a different vbadvanced CMPS for each domain i use.

So when a user comes from domain1.com to see the cmps1 site and has access to subforum1. When a user comes from domain2.com to see the cmps2 site and has access to subforum2. A third site will have cmps3 and the whole forum (can see both subforum1 and 2).

Is it possible? and if yes give me info about it please.

Thank you

What you're describing may require a separate license for each "site".

No, i dont think so as it will be only 1 forum and as that one license is needed. All users will be in the same database, just when you push the mods button you see only the forums related to mods, when you push styles you see styles related forums etc. but its one login for all of them, just the design layout seperate them.

I need something very similar to what you have done here in vbulletin.org . How you did that? is a script? module?

Thx

You'll run into a problem if your planning on doing multiple domains for each tab, as your first post suggested. The vBulletin license grants permission to use one instance of the software per domain, not per server:


vBulletin License Agreement
vBulletin license grants you the right to run one instance (a single installation) of the Software on one web server and one web site for each license purchased. Each license may power one instance of the Software on one domain. For each installed instance of the Software, a separate license is required. Modifications to the Software or database to circumvent the one-license-one-board rule are prohibited.

Tabbed forum yes.. that is what i was looking for :) Thanks Spank.

If a domain redirect to the forum then i need second license?

License Agreement says: For each installed instance of the Software, a separate license is required. -- So as i will install it once, i most probably dont need another license.. (i hope..)

Thanks

I think this part might be critical:

Each license may power one instance of the Software on one domain.

I think if it's redirects he should be ok. He's only installing it one domain, he'll just have another domain pointing to it.

What you are asking for requires more the one license, if you still think you only need one then I recommend you seek clarification from the vBulletin.com support team.

Hello,

How would one make two seperate forums on two seperate domains share the same userbase? I realise this would require two vB licenses. Has anyone had any success doing this using vB?

There have been a lot of threads of what you're describing - one suggested using MySQL views.
