What control panel do you have? Do you know how to add a subdomain?

I have Cpanel
Yes I did add a subdomain to
subdomain.maindomain.com

But do I need to make a redirection or something?

Thanks mate

Michael (and team)...

Before I re-invent the wheel in regards to getting my vBa CMPS modules to play nice with Cerberus, I noticed that some of the IB sites are using vBa CMPS and indeed the "** Load Config **" plugin is already looking for a "vba_newthreads_use_my_catids" setting though it is not documented anywhere.

Anybody from IB care to share the code for the CMPS modules that go along with that "'vba_newthreads_use_my_catids" setting? :D

If you setup the subdomain to point at the same place, then configure like i showed above, it should work automagically.

I have not used it with vBA (That was from the upgrade from the vb3 version), nor has it been tested.

I added this to a vb4 install to test a bit with it. When i login to the admincp I get:

invalid argument supplied foreach() in [path]\includes\init.php(331) : eval()'d code on line 144

I disabled it and it was gone.

where do i get this info from to add? "Salt for login hash to other sites."

What version of vBulletin 4 are you running?

Make that a unique value for your site.

thank you one more question the catid would be the forum id? if so i have everything setup correctly but the thread is not showing up, i can see the forum but not the thread chosen.

added: im using 4.1

nevermine i figured it out.Is there a way to hide the forum for only that particular domain?

No problem. :) After thinking about it for a bit, I'm taking a different direction in regards to vBa CMPS that won't require me to make any edits to any of the vBa CMPS module files (well, at least none so far are needed) outside of a quick edit to the cmps_index.php file.

Not working for me :(

Forum : http://www.foudeconcours.com/forum
My second domain : http://www.lesgratuits.be must go there http://www.foudeconcours.com/forum/f...splay.php?f=63

I have vbseo installed

My configuration
In plesk, I put lesgratuits.be in "frame redirection"

:( help :(

No. This product will show all categories unless you specify some. If you specify one, you must specify all that you wish to choose.

I have not used plesk before, so not sure if this will help. You need to have the domain parked to the same place as first URL, I am not sure what a frame redirection is.

Latest version: 4.1PL1

what about google indexing? same post will be index 2 time show as diffarent domain..

Only if you choose to have the same parent category ID show up on both domains.

I just want to double check whether this mod is not against the vb license terms. See below link about providing the URL, if you have multiple domains, which url are you supposed to enter in the member area?

====from http://www.vbulletin.com/faq.php ============================
I have purchased a license. Am I allowed to run two copies of vBulletin?
No. You must hold a valid vBulletin license for each individual installation of the software (regardless of whether the two installations are on the same domain name or server). For example, if you wish to install one copy of vBulletin at http://www.yourserver.com/forum1/ and another copy at http://www.yourserver.com/forum2/, you will require two licenses. Please note that the license agreement specifies that you must submit the URL where your vBulletin license(s) are installed (via the online members area). For complete licensing terms and conditions"

yea good point, i had noticed that too they refer to installations, not for each domain.Not sure unless someone can enlighten to that terms.

I have those option in plesk :

OK, had a strange issue...

I have my forums grouped together in three major cats. For example...

Category 100
- Forum 101
- Forum 102
- Forum 103

Category 200
- Forum 201
- Forum 202
- Forum 203

Category 300
- Forum 301
- Forum 302
- Forum 303

I have Cerberus configured so that Domain A has access to Category 100 & 200 while Domain B has access to Category 300.

While posting on Domain A in Forum 102 (just for example, but really any forum on Domain A) I was getting a 'No permissions' error. To get around that I disabled the unset permissions line from the "Forum Display" plugin used by Cerberus. Did not solve my problem but allowed me to continue so I could experiment. When I did continue my new thread that I was posting in Forum 102 ended up being posted in Forum 303! :eek:

So I poked around for a bit in the "Forum Display" plugin again and enabled the 'debug' lines so I could see what was going on in what sequence. Sure enough Forum 303 was the last forum ID that was being evaluated and, since I was on Domain A and not Domain B, it was removing that forum ID from the cache & permissions.

Going back to posting a new thread I did a view source on the page and could see that even though I was posting to Forum 102 in the URL the various buttons (eg: preview, save, etc.) were all referencing forum ID 303 instead. That led me to believe then that the variable $forumid being used in the plugin was not being preserved as a local scope variable and was being used by the rest of vB, hence why since forum ID 303 was the last one evaluated then that is where it was thinking I was trying to post to.

To confirm I changed all references in that plugin from $forumid to $forumidx to make it unique and repeated my experiments. Success!

This was with vBulletin 4.0.8 running on PHP 5.2.12 using the version of Cerberus in this thread.

Thanks KW...having the same problem...couldn't post in any of the different domains due to no permissions...changed all references to forumid to forumidx in that plugin and it worked.

Can you think of any ramifications of doing this?

As long as "$forumidx" isn't used anywhere by vBulletin itself (and I don't think it is), then we should be good to go. :)

Or any other mods... (I used $forumidx in some custom stuff...)

Im not sure if Im right, but this is how I am understanding it:

There are two options.

1. You have multiple vbulletin sites running on multiple domains and you link them together with this mod.

This circumstance requires a license for each vbulletin site.



2. You install vbulletin once, and have just one license.

You create multiple subdomains, or use other domains via cpanel of your hosting company.

You create multiple styles/forum categories and link your subdomains/domains accordingly to the appropriate style/forum category using the one vbulletin install.

This DOES NOT require multiple licenses.


Im hoping its option 2.

I run a gaming website that plays multiple platforms, and Im looking to create subdomains for each specific game, but to be apart of the entire gaming site.

Ex:

forcesofwar.com
cod4.forcesofwar.com
bc2.forcesofwar.com
blackops.forcesofwar.com


forcesofwar.com being the community website where everyone can meet and chat about all games, and then subdomains which have different styles pertaining to the specific game, along with the content that would go with it. So if someone comes to the site and registers, and plays call of duty 4, they can go to cod4.forcesofwar.com to view all the specific content/forums about that game.

sounds interesting: will Blogs & CMS be supported soon?

your option 2 and your examples with subdomains is the same as quoted the "/forum1" and "/forum2" see my earlier post on this page. I submitted a ticket to the vb support, here is the exact reply:

"Yes, but for each instance or site you need its own license.

So if you want to run 10 sites from 1 install, you still need 10 licenses."

I don't know whether this answer applies to your option 2 or not, may be someone else can make sure we don't need to buy licenses. You don't want to spend all your time and effort to integrate this mod and later find out it does not save your licenses.

The wording at http://www.vbulletin.com/faq.php ============================
if you wish to install one copy of vBulletin at http://www.yourserver.com/forum1/ and another copy at http://www.yourserver.com/forum2/, you will require two license

notice the "one copy" and the "another copy". From this example, your option 2 does not have two copies. However from the vb support reply "10 sites from 1 install", it clearly applies to your option 2. For example I have http://laFrance.com/forum installed, this counts as one install. If I can access this forum's category from another site say http://goblinwars.com/forum then when vb's bot visits the goblinwars.com/forum but does not find the license linked in my membership area URL, your hosting company will shut you down. Last time that Howard at vb shutdown my site by mistake, they don't warn you first, they shut you down first!!

You need the 'Domain Alias' option: http://support.netfirms.com/virtual-...a-domain-alias. Any additional domain is a domain alias to your main domain. E.g. your main domain is www.forum1.com. Create extra domain aliases for that domain called www.forum2.com, www.forum3.com etc. Cerberus takes care of redirecting the user to the right domain URL.

I asked this to ticket system:
They said:
What does it mean?

It means you only need once licence per domain name.
= 1 License

= 3 Licenses

Would someone be able to post their updated file with the forumidx changes?

I would just like to know whqat does this mod really do. For example: what if I remove this mod after having 2 sites linked like site1.forum.com and site2.forum.com? What would happen to the same user groups on both sites?

Who can help me out installing this Mod? Everyting is set up All I need is the code on the mod I dont know what to put there

Anyhelp will make a happy camper. :)

Just wondering, why wasn't this caught in testing? Doesn't it seem like a fairly large oversight?

So is everyone going to have to change it to forumidx to have this work properly?

BEST MOD EVER RELEASED ON VBULLETIN.ORG

Never in my <insert large number> years of using vBulletin have I seen such win.

I will donate when I have money.

I have also found that the popup smilie window is empty when this mod is enabled...can someone confirm this for me but when you disable the mod in Plugins the smilie popup window is then populated ok...thanks

Tagged ... this will come in great use if it comes out of beta. I would be willing to pay for a full blown professional version of this as long as it comes with support.

Is the different StyleID's working with everyone else...?

I have my thread display set in the options as Legacy

For StyleID 1 I left the postbit template as it is and set domain 1 in this mod to use StyleID 1

I created a child style off StyleID 1 so I now have StyleID 2 for Domain 2

I updated the mod settings so Domain 2 uses StyleID 2

I then copied the standard postbit template into the legacy template in StyleID 2

It made no difference...both domains used the same style

UPDATE: Found that it doesn't work with Child Styles but does if the Style is a Parent Style

Confirmed. No code at all in the smilie popup windows being generated.

Me too. Please keep up the work. I'm suspecting there's a big demand for this product. :-)

absolutely bro, I will too

If someone get this working please let me know, I donate to get it done at my site if necessarily

OK, quick fix...

Modify the "Domains Iframe Page" plugin and at the very bottom of the code find "die()" and comment it out by putting two slashes in front of it "//die()".

If you don't comment that line out then nothing in "misc.php" will work, which includes the 'getsmilies' page and the 'bbcode' page (when you click on the 'BB Codes' help link at the bottom of the create post pages).
