Just a slight question - Does this do anything different from just adding on a domain and using it as a redirect domain pointing to the styleid?

Once you have your domain names setup and visiting these domain names takes you to the same content as your primary domain you can then install and configure this add-on.

What it then does is checks the URL that was used to get to your site, and if this matches one configured with this add-on it will override the default style with the configured style.

For example, if your sites primary domain is "domain.com" and you use the default vBulletin style, all visitors to your domain will be presented with this default style.

If you then register say "pinkdomain.com" and configure it to use the same webspace as your primary domain, all visitors to "pinkdomain.com" will also be presented with the same default style. If you were to install a new style - lets say with a pink colour scheme called "Pink" and installed this addon, you could configure it such that all visitors to "pinkdomain.com" will be presented with the "Pink" style whilst visitors to "domain.com" will continue to be presented with the default style. The same could be done if you configured a subdomain of "pink.domain.com"

The user/visitor can not override the style with this addon, even if you allow them to change styles, this will force the visitor to what ever style you configure.

Hope this helps..
dartho, i think what he meant was this:

what this addon does it makes "pinkdomain.com" use the pink style, as opposed to the default style.

what would be the difference between this addon, and setting up "pinkdomain.com" to redirect to "domain.com?styleid=2"

@wpeloquin - The two scenarios are similar in many ways however a redirect is a redirect - it will send your visitor to a different page with a different URL. This add-on will leave your visitor at the page they landed on and with the same URL and all page activity will be relative to the landing URL. This Add-On allows you to Force a style on a user and not allow the user to change the style.

Well I give up completely....

1) I've set up my sub-domain correctly so that:

mobile.4winmobile.com goes to www.4winmobile.com

2) The Mod is set to use the Mobile Style 0.06

3) I've modified functions_vbseo.php as per:

PHP Code:
if(
VBSEO_BASEDEPTH &&
defined('VBSEO_PREPROCESSED')
&& ($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] != 'mobile.4winmobile.com')
) 
Yet still no redirection.

Any ideas guys as this is driving me nuts!

Actually you don't have that part right yet. You need to park that other domain, not redirect it. Like this:

http://mobile.slackercentral.com/

Notice that the URL doesn't change to my standard URL. The mod needs that to stay in the address bar to work. Delete the redirection and see if you can figure out how to park it.

tekguru 05-30-2008 06:52 PM
Looks like I'm stuck then as this is using WHM / cPanel to add a standard subdomain.

The problem with it failing are caused by me having:

1) .htaccess

redirect 301 /index.html http://www.4winmobile.com/forums/portal.php

in my .htaccess file.

2) index.html reading as per:

HTML Code:
<html>
<head>
<title>Redirecting to the main site...........</title>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh"
CONTENT="0; URL=http://www.4winmobile.com/forums/portal.php">
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Bu if I don't have these in there then there is no way to redirect folks from www.4winmobile.com to the portal at: http://www.4winmobile.com/forums/portal.php - Unless of course you can say otherwise?

Help!!

Slacker 05-30-2008 07:30 PM
Don't do it as a subdomain in cPanel. If you have access to WHM you can park the domain there. Can you find that option? It should be under DNS Options -> Park a domain. Tell it to park your mobile URL on top of your forums URL and you should be all set.

dartho 05-30-2008 08:32 PM
@tekguru - making your htaccess entry something like this would do the same thing assuming you have modrewrite on your server:
Code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.html$ ./forums/portal.php [R=301,L]

tekguru 05-30-2008 09:23 PM
Okay this is starting to get there......

Firstly thanks to Dartho if I use the code he kindly provided in .htaccess then one of my alternative true domains (www.tekguru.co.uk) does indeed remap correctly on top of the main site and retains the original URL.

1) First of all I do not own the mobile.4winmobile.com domain, no need to acording to ServInt as this is a valid subdomain of www.4winmobile.com. According to them the correct way of setting it up is as a subdomain.

Are they wrong here?

If I delete mobile.4winmobile.com as a sub domain I can ......

Try to park mobile.4winmobile.com on www.4winmobile.com. I fI try this I get an error.....

Argh I don't believe it - 5 times it blinking errors, I try it now and it parks! Argh!!!!

And the Mod has kicked in as well and is working.

God knows what the problem was!

Cheers for the advise guys :) Very happy now!

dartho 05-30-2008 09:35 PM
Parking is just a way of saying make the [sub]domain point the the same document root as your primary domain.

Glad it is working for you!
