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 am interested... Does it work with 4.2.2?

Does it works with vbulletin 4.2.1?

Anybody have any idea how to have a separate style for the CMS and the forum? The options only let you pick one style.

Yes, you can change the CMS style by clicking the pencil and setting it to not inherit the style but once you go the article page Cerberus forces the CMS back to the style you specify for the domain.

I have tested it on vb4.2.2 and it works fine. The only thins is that you will need a lot of hard coding inside your 2nd domain or subdomain. I guess you need some html and css skills.

Are you having any issues with it posting to the wrong forum? I've tested and it somewhat works, just when you create a new thread in any forum, it always posts to the wrong forum (Usually the very bottom forum on the display order).

I get the same problem too when posting as a reg member. As an admin it works fine.

it doesn't work for me even as an admin. sadly, I need to take long way this time to make this work.

I guess there is an option without using this mod. I'm gonna test this option and if it did work, I'll leave a feedback on what happened and how I did it...

Good luck!!

Any chance of this coming for VB5?

I have my second domain parked in the same location as my main domain. If I visit my second domain, I get forwarded to my first/main domain.
I used the settings BirdOfPrey5 used here; https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=139
Anyone know why?
