Forum Display Enhancements - Different Domain, Different vBAdvanced Page

I needed this for my own site, so I though I'd make it into a product and release here. It's a variation on Different Domain, Different Style made for boards which use vBAdvanced.

If you want to show a different vBAdvanced page based upon the domain (or subdomain) name used to visit your site, then this is the hack for you.

For example:

If you have a Sports site - you could setup up subdomains such as football.domain.com and rugby.domain.com and have a vba page for each which only displays news, recent threads, polls etc from the related forums on your portal page whilst maintaining a common forum.

Alternatively if you have a mobile sub-domain - mobile.domain.com - you could set up a vbadvanced page which only has a single colunm, and only one or two modules dislpayed for visitors to your mobile domain.

*Supports 5 additional domains/vba pages different

Release Information
1.0.0 - Initial Release. Marked as Beta until I get some feedback...

Enjoy.

Great mod. Question I have is whether it is possible to maintain the subdomain once its at the new page?

So.. in my case I have war.wpguild.com but by default once it has changed it has the www.wpguild.com/<vbawarpage>

Instead would like:

war.wpguild.com/warpage

if your links are all relative, I donl;t think it would changeback to www....

How do you make your vbAdvanced links relative? Even though i'm on mobile.mysite.com, some links on vbA show www. . I suspect this has to do with vbA using {boardurl} to make links.

I have the different domain different style mod working, but I can't seem to get this one working. Here is my setup:

/index.php is the normal vb index file
/shade.php is the vbadvanced file

domain A points to index.php
vbadvanced default settings has /shade.php as the URL to the CMPS.php file
navigating to domainA.com/shade.php shows 'homepage' from vbadvanced

domain B is parked on domain A. I have setup DDDVBAP to have domain B point to 'homepage'.
navigating to domainB.com shows domainB.com/index.php instead of domainB/shade.php

I have DDDS working. domainB.com shows the mobile style, while domainA.com shows the default style. So, I don't know why this wouldn't work.

Do I need to change my forum URL for VB, such that it is domainA.com/forum, which domainB.com parks on domainA.com, which is where shade.php resides?

It sounds like what you want is your mobile domain to directly load up your forum page (index) rather than your VBA page (shade)? This add-on doesn't do that. What I'd do is modify the adv_portal (which is teh main template for teh vbadvanced portal page) template in your moibile style, and put a redirect in to your forum page. CHeck HERE for an example

actually, I have a partner that is going to "blog" using vbadvanced, however, he wants to maintain his site, look, and feel. He just wants to join up with me and my forums. So, it is a merger of two websites. He is going to post via my installation, but he wants his page to have his domain in the URL and his custom theme.
