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.

I apologize for the delay.


Thanks to everyone sending me PM showing interest to help testing this add-on. I am finally at a point where I consider this "update" to meet beta testing standard.

Right now, here are the things I still need to do:
- Upgrade to 418 and make sure nothing breaks (it shouldn't but still...)
- Separate my site related custom code from Cerberus core product code
- Setup a forum for discussion
- Setup an issue tracker

Though I'm still torn between installing 418 or jumping to 4110...

Once done, the first post of this thread will be updated with the latest version and you can report the bugs in the issue tracker/discuss possible features in the forums etc etc.

I'd be glad to help you but what changes are made in your update?

I’m looking forward to updates!

I’m gonna own an anime website that is already established, and a personality website that’s already established.

I was hoping to have one log in for both of them. You log into one, you log into both and can switch between easily.

Can this provide this?

Can I have the link to test the versions that were released till now ?

Hi all,

I don't know what is SALT: Salt for login hash to other sites. Anyone help me explain it??

Thank you!

[azn_romeo_4u]

What happens to uploaded images? Are they uploaded to both domains or just one domain? Images like attachments and avatars....

[Shogo]

Do you have a schedule for the 4.1.10 (or 4.1.08) version?

Best regards

[Shogo]
