Forum Display Enhancements - Different Domain, Different Style

This is a simple add-on which will force users to a specific style based on the url the user visited.

I wrote this with the idea of being able to create a subdomain of mobile.domainname.com and have visitirs to that URL forced to a mobile style whilst visitors to my normal site (domainname.com or www.domainname.com) would be rpesented with my regular style.

Alternatively if you have 2 domain names which point to the same forum, you can have a customized style based on the domain name visited. You can do what you want, but it may be as simple as only having a different banner reflecting the host name visited, or if you have merged 2 forums - users could still get the same skin they always have had if they continue to visit the same URL.

With the HOST matching be aware that if the URL specified in the add-on matches anywhere in the url visited, the add-on will be triggered.

e.g. if URL specified in add-on = domainname.com, any subdomains of domainname.com will match this.

i'm not following... it's suppose to redirect to my full blown site and then set the style id in your plugin/mod no ?

and with server, you mean my provider ? (i can give you access and you can check it ?)

[dartho]

no, it's not meant to redirect anywhere. You would need to have both domains pointing to teh same webspace - if you redirect to your primary domain name, then you are no longer using a different domain name and as such a different style is not applied.

You should probably also change the link to your forums in your landing page (http://everythingberry.net/index.html) be a relative one.

your saying not re-direct, i get that... but i looked all over & even spoke with tech support and i am so far unable to find how to point both to the same space :]

uhm... not understanding.

again was on the phone with support (my hosting provider) and he had me make a A record which points to my full sites web space, when going to mobi.everythingberry.net it still goes to the full blown site..

[high]* rrudeboy is getting hopeless :erm:[/high]

Have this all setup and working...sort of.

I have a second domain m.domainname.com that points to the same web space along with the original domainname.com.

When I go to m.domainname.com I see the defaut style. I must log in first, and then I see the mobile style.

How do I fix it so that I only see the mobile style when going to m.domainname.com?

[rrudeboy]

i use a mod for that: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=174381 (Different Domain, Different Style)

[45wheelgun]

That is the mod I was referring to. I think we are in that thread now...

I am guessing that the account you log on with is an admin account? If so, it sounds like you don;t have the mobile style set as user selectable - an admin is able to view styles which users can not.

Bingo! All better now. Thanks for the assistance!:up:

Is there any way to use this to deliver a separate set of subforums only to the secondary domain?
