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.

Does anyone know if there is an easy way to redirect the secondary domains to domain.com/forum.php (via htaccess, or similar)

Since I am using the CMS, the secondary site gets redirected to the CMS page, which is the same as the primary site.

Hello,

I face problem when I try to post new thread. Instead of domain2 url I get url that points to domain1 and I am getting the error message for the permissions. If I copy and paste manually the url that points to domain2, then the posting is working just fine.

Is here anybody who could help me with this.

Thanks.

I've tried it and had it working. There are a couple of issues, the biggest one being with vB's WYSIWYG editor, all of the icons and there functions disappear. It also seems to mess with the unread post counts a bit.
