Vbulletin 3 DOesnt work well when your site has 2 urls.

[VeoMorphine]

Hello!
I have 2 URLs on my site. Http://www.wowforge.net is my defalt that i have set in the vb options, then i have www.wowforge.com.

If somone trys to sign in on the .com, it only logs them in on the .net and sends them back to the .com site. So it looks like they didnt log in.

I looked for all the bburl varibles and replaced them with /forum/ (which fixed alot allready), but, the login box still sends me to .net. Where can i change this so it points to /forums/ insted of .net?

Couldn't you just set the .com as a redirect to the .net? Solves the problem outright..

you may want to report this to vb.com :)

you may want to report this to vb.com :)its a known issue, i figure you could probally use a check for the domain over ride Forum URL and that would probally solve most of the issue right there

i figure somthing like

if (domain == .com)
{$forumurl = .com}
else
{$forumurl = .net}

while thats not how to do it i think somthing liek that could be implimented / used

Well, I use at least 7 different domains (different country codes) for my site, all A mapped at the DNS level to the IP address of my server - and vB3 works wonderfully.

This is the best solution if you ask me.

Additional domains for one site should all be redirects, not equally-working url's. Having multiple domain-identities takes away from the power of your site's own identity, and also how well it sticks to people's memories (as far as that aspect goes, of course).

At least someone listened to me *dreamy sigh*

So there is no solution at all to this problem??

For me, filmhobbit.com is my primary domain, but cinemablend.com is my parked domain.

so my forum is accessed through www.filmhobbit.com/forum as well as www.cinemablend.com/forum

for me it is essential that I be able to do this, but ever since I parked cinemablend.com my forum is having severe problems with cookies.

just have a redirect...

At the top of global.php:



if ( !preg_match("/^www.usethisdomain.com/i",$_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]) and !preg_match("/^usethisdomain.com/i",$_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]) ) {
header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
if (strlen($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])>0)
header("location:http://www.usethisdomain.com$PHP_SELF?$_SERVER[QUERY_STRING]");
else
header("location:http://www.usethisdomain.com$PHP_SELF");
exit;
}



This bit of code will forward the user and keep the current location and query string intact. It will also send search engines a proper forwarding code. Replace "usethisdomain.com" with the proper domain name that you'd like people to always use.
