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've managed to fix this issue (for me at least) by creating a new plugin to the header_redirect hook.

if ($vbulletin->options['ddds37_enable'] == 1)
$ddds37_default = "www.example.com/forum";
{
  if(strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], $vbulletin->options['ddds37_domain']) && strstr($url, $ddds37_default))
    {
      $url = str_replace($ddds37_default, $vbulletin->options['ddds37_domain'], $url);
    }
}

NOTE: This assumes you're trying to redirect your "normal" forums at URI www.example.com/forum to whatever you have set in the DDDS options. Change the $ddds37_default variable accordingly.

I think you can removbe the <BASE> tag from the header which is causing the default URL to be used in relative links

The <base> tag is set correctly with my mobile domain and redirects (from links or searches) don't work.

Even with the <base> tag removed, you'd still need the above plugin for redirects to work

This has nothing to do with any styles.

Before you can use this, you must have a domain name or subdomain configured pointing at the same web space as your primary domain. Usually a CNAME record for teh secondary [sub]domain pointing at your primary domain will do the trick - check with your provider if you don;t know how to do this.

Additionally you will need a secondary style installed.

Instructions:

• Save XML file in first post to your computer
• Log into AdminCP on your site
• AdminCP -> In Plugins & Products -> Manage Products click the [Add/Import Product] link at the bottom of the page
• Click the Browse button and locate the XML file you saved to your computer.
• Click the "Yes" radio button to allow overwrite
• Click the Import button to import the product.

• Now go to AdminCP->vBulletin Options->vBulletin Options
• Locate the "Different Domain, Different Style" section.
• Select 'Yes' to enable DDDS
• Enter in the [sub]domainname you wish to specify a style for. eg. mobile.vbulletin.com
• Select the style you wish to use for this domain name.
• Click the "Save"button.
• Now go to AdminCP->vBulletin Options-> General Settings and add your [sub]domain name to the Post Referrer Whitelist

Assuming all is configured correctly (style, [sub]domain and this add-on, you should be able to browse to your [sub]domain and get teh configured style.

Sorry about my this question . i have a domain name www.myforum.com and i want this for the mobile style : mobile.myforum.com

so in this case what will i do, Kindly please help in this thanks

[dartho]

you do what I said in previous post!

When I log in with the new subdomain I get this error msg

Invalid Redirect URL

But it in fact does log me in. Any reason why i would get this?

Ok i got it boiled down to my forum url setting in the admincp. If i change that to the new mobile subdomain it logs in fine. Only problem is that is not where my forum is located and changing that breaks alot of codes especially the bburl tag.
