Major Additions - CERBERUS: 1 vB4: runs multiple domains with custom styles, forums, universal login

***Attention: This product is currently UNSUPPORTED***

We would like to release an Alpha version of the vBulletin4 Cerberus product. This product allows you to create one vBulletin4 installation which can power unlimited number of domains and sub-domains; while allowing to customize each domain differently to make it look like different sites or sections. Domains will have one universal admincp and user login information.

***Example***
www.supercoolautoforum.com - main site, all forums
ferarri.supercoolautoforum.com - custom style and forums, same login
bmw.supercoolautoforum.com- custom style and forums, same login
honda.supercoolautoforum.com - custom style and forums, same login
supercoolmotorcycleforum.com - custom style and forums, same login

*** Why are you releasing this, I want more features?! ***

This is a very simple product; we believe that the basic functionality provided in this product will satisfy a lot of communities - and since the product is simple - it will be easy to extend it and modify it to work for your custom community requirements.

Overview of Current Features:

• One shared installation of vBulletin 4
• One shared user account on all domains
• Custom Style for each domain
• Custom Forum listing for each domain

Known Issues:

• CMS and Blogs are currently not configured to have special domain-specific categories and sections. CMS is shared across all sites although the appearance will be different for each domain.

Are you sure you read this whole thread? This mod is mean to use multiple domains with on vB database which is what you are describing.

Maybe Im not describing it clearly enough. I understand that this modification allows us to run multiple sites from one database. Which is excellent. But as the image in the OP shows:


The above explains that you can not use a custom CMS or blog for each domain. Nor can you use custom groups. So if I am understanding that correctly this means that all sites can not have different CMS home pages. And thereby their identity is not completely separated from the other sites. I need to be able to have different CMS homepages per site.

Again, are you sure you read through this entire thread? If you had, then you'd have seen that one of the edits done & posted in this thread is to allow those running CMS as their home page to define a different CMS page per domain.

I did miss your updated version. But consider 2 websites that both have multiple sections and many articles in those sections. So we are not talking about 1 CMS page per site, but hundreds. How could that be resolved?

No to you :P

I have CMS content working, yes, particularly important and it works great.

People just aren't reading the thread, you were the key to getting it to work and I thank you.

Hahaha. Show me how the CMS works on your sites. I need more than 1 page and more than 1 section per domain.

I don't see why you could not have more than section per domain but how I have it set up now is a section per domain.

I suggest you just read the thread and if you can't get it to do what you want ask someone nicely to help you.... or not, whatever.
