Is it possible to mask the domain these subdomains link to with the subdomain name? If that were the case, something like this could be used as a no-ip type of service. That is something I would truly be interested in.

Hi all!
Cause I have to work on a lot of different projects, it?s
impossible 4 me to visit this thread often.
I?m realy sorry 4 that.
(And my english is still bad.) :D ;)

At this moment, I was able to spend a few minutes to help...
Enough said. Let?s do...

@ wolfe
"i think it should be added to VB3 as a default hack this is incredible"
Thanks! It?s realy fine to hear that kind of feedback! :)
I often think about the hard work I had with this hack in the past
& how much usefull it will be to include the new features. Still 10 min. ago I would have said that I will not make this work nevertheless probably. But than I read your posting.... So:
That?s the reason why I will include the features above, if a stable version of vB3 is avaible. :rambo:

@ diavolo
Yes that?s right, You have to do every query seperatly with phpmyadmin.

@ Mist
*hehe* Yeah I know how hard it is to translate freakin' words with google! :D
"Is there any change you could provide us with the english templates?"
I will try to do a 'general manner translation' in the next days.

@ hellsatan
"I would be very interested to see if this works;)"
Sure, why not? My first hack of this kind was vbSubdomains v1.x.
It?s working fine and the only different to vbSubdomains v2 are some more features. Oh, another different is present.:
Version1 comes with hack-instructions, Version2 comes only with my short informations I write down while develop it. :pirate:
Now I have add a special acc 4 to allow a DEMO of this hack.
- go to my page -> http://www.minots.de/
- login with betatester/betatester
- got to the UserCP -> http://www.minots.de/usercp.php?s=
- choose 3. Option from left (edit options) http://www.minots.de/member.php?s=&action=editoptions
- scroll down to the bottom of the page an hit the "Subdomain Daten" button

Note: This UserAcc can?t post anything and the redirection will not work for him. But you can see and play around with the redirection-options. ;) Add, Del a.s.o. :)
And.... No, I doesn?t make a "test-Admin-acc" :D

@ TimHL
Yes it does. A adfree redirection service 4 your Members. :)

@ Goldknight
Before santa is coming, you will get something like that. ;)
But remain already well-behaved! ( hehe, just kidding :D)

@ eckels2
Jepp, this will done in the next version. And I?m thinking about
3 ways of 'IP-updates' for the "no-ip type service" (aka DynIP).
1. IP-Update Option: the subdomainuser just have to visit your board
2. IP-Update Option: the subdomainuser is using a personal "update-url" with his browser (a simply entry in favorites will be usefull ;))
3. IP-Update Option: a small "automatic-update-client" was installed. (something like the one from DynIP.com)

That?s what I wanna do, but I can?t promise that every 3 Option
will be avaible.
Option 1 will be very easy, I think.
Option 2 is a little bit harder, but possible in a few hours.
Option 3 is the "deluxe Version". I will be glad if this work! :D

---------------------------------------------------------------
Ok hackers. Thats all 4 the moment.

With Best regards,

I dont know any German at all and when i tried the translator - not everything worked..

This hack would be installed on my forums by now had the templates been in english :(

- miSt

It was hard to install though with the language problem, but I think I got it now.

Maybe I can offer a little advise to the forum based on what I had problems with.

With the query, change

PRIMARY KEY (userid), UNIQUE username (username))
so it is
PRIMARY KEY (userid), UNIQUE username (username));

that helped me, otherwise you can do one query at a time.
------------------------

Ok, I just tried it out and even though I have set it to VIP, yes and Yes I get this permission screen when I press the subdomain options button.

You do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:
You do not have permission to access the page that you were trying to. Are you trying to edit someone else's post or trying to access administrative features? Check that you are allowed to perform this action in the Forum Rules.
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

Can anyone offer some help? :bunny: Thanks!

There are english templates in the followed attach.
I realy hope that my english is good enough 4 you all.

@ SRozhon
Please try this:
AdminCP -> User Groups -> Modify (administrator)

scroll down to "Miscellaneous Permissions" and check the option
"Can use vBSubdomain"

and try this one:
AdminCP -> Users -> your username

sroll down to "vBSubdomain Options" and check options
"Use vBSubdomain"
"Is vBSubdomain-VIP"

Some of those templates aren't proper english..

I'll have a go at a proper translation from what you've done already 2 weeks 2moro :)

- miSt

@ Mist

Why do you doesn´t post them?

Cuz i have exams in 2 weeks so i dont have time hehe

- miSt

YES!!! Thanks very much!! That was it. I think this hack is great! Thank you for your time and quick response. :-)

is anyone thinking of making this so that members can have about 2MB's of space ???? and actually build a webiste on my site ???

i have unlimited space and bandwidth so its not a problem for me i can see others having a problem with it though :(

There is no such thing as unlimited space and bandwidth :)

- miSt

i know what you are saying and i agree ... ;)

thats what they told me though and thats what i pay for :)

but i know exactly where you are coming from lol

but it would be a good idea though to be able to give your members say just 1MB to upload a few pictures and a bit about themselfs :)

Ok is this right to install now?????

templates ok??????

I want to offer this to my priemum members

The english translation was not complete so i never got a chance to even try it properly :(

so the templates are the only issue?

No - i hadn't even got as far to test it :(

Hi folks!

Please help me: It seems as if I'd be to stupid to install this hack. I can't find any word about subdomains in my profile (yes, I modified my modifyprofile template).

I'm running vB 2.3.0

What am I doing wrong?

Floh

@Floh
We?ve spoken 2 time about your different kind of problems.
And at last you doesn?t send me anymore mail, so I?ve to think that it works? ... i realy hope so...

@Mist
OK, it?s hard to translate a foreign language. That?s right.
But it can?t be impossible if you try it with "en<->de dictionarys". Also feel free to ask in this thread for a corresponding translation. ;) (so with a litle teamwork we?ll do it 4 you to)

With best greetings,

mmmmmmm, ok the instruction are not very clear but i will give it a trial run ..... first i already have a .htaccess file in the root folder for another hack!

in this case dont i have to add the contense of your .htaccess to the other one ??????

@trafix
in your current .htaccess file, is there any line begins with
DirectoryIndex? it works & look like the one from the apache configuration-file (httpd.conf).:
i.e.:if this line is already present, you need to change it like.:
if you don?t have it in your .htaccess -> simply add it ;)

I presume that the .htaccess goes in the main forum folder not the root folder fo the site......

in my admin/usergroup.php

there are 2 occoasions of

I would persume to replace both cases with your new code??

there is also 2 occessions of
one again i persume that i change both ???

I think you need to look at redoing the instructions for this hack.
I will let you updated as i contunue the instalation process.

another error in your instructions

admin-usergroup.php.txt
You forgot to put in the replace with line

I have finished installing.....

i got this error when i tried to add a new subdomain
i was also getting some other errors as well

Minots, do you have either icq or Y! mesenger?

un installing :(

let us all know when you get a working version 4 vb 2.3.0 +

I would really like to get this hack installed on my board but sounds too buggy :(

buggy is an understatement.... i was on the tail end of installing to when i lost my internet connection .... it took the isp company 2 hrs to fix the problem .... when i got back on line i found out than nobody could access the website at all cos of the hack ...

I dont have a test board :)

Is it possible to have a sub-domain for each member by default (without them having to do anything)?

bei mir geht garnix :(
er speichert die einstellung nicht, ob die gruppe subdomains nutzen darf :(
(habe vB 2.3.0)

Und ich hab auch kA, wie ich ne SubDomain anlegen kann :(

Minots, kannst du mir evtl. n bissl. per icq: 178197828 helfen ?

Vielen Dank dir :)

@trafix
:cross-eyed: *hhhmpfff* *g* I can?t believe it! ;)
Why do you don?t use a local copy of your board? :speechless:
Do you?ve read my first posting in this thread? ...sorry.... no more comment about it...

@Logtenberg
I?m sure that someone have done a hack with (nearly) the feature your request. Just try a look in the hack-database. :)

@Morpheus84
Wenn ich?s zeitlich gebogen bekomme, dann lass uns es uns mal heute abend ab 23:30 Uhr versuchen. Ich k?nnte mich bei Dir per PN melden, wenn Du m?chtest. Ansonsten warte noch ein klein wenig, weil ich (wegen dem Bedarf hier) wohl doch noch eine Anleitung schreiben werde.
(was ich eigentlich erst f?r das vB3 machen wollte... naja, egal... ;)

MfG

I would really appreciate, if there would be a 2.3 working version with an option, that does not makes any subdomains, but just makes new folders with user names, so all the info, they're photos are stored there...

Any news about the VB3 version of this hack please ?

Cheers,

yes I'm also eager to see this hack on the lovely vb3

I still don't understand the point of this hack after reading all of the posts about it. What's the point of allowing a user a subdomain? Why do they benefit? Why does the site itself benfit? What am I missing?
