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.

Is the mod available somewhere?

That was the only option.

The only reason this one isn't in the graveyard is because it was released by vBulletin in hopes that the community could get it working and even add features. It would have taken too much time away from regular development. It was better for them to release it as it was then to simply discard the code and not let anyone know they had tried the idea.

Not yet, I have it working on 4.1.11 but it needs some more work before I release it.

I would be interested to see that with CMS categories and blog categories per site.

Any Updates?

Installed it on vbulletin 4.1.12 , looks works fine, but can't post new thread.

It's show:

you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1.Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2.If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

I Hope new update can be release.

Anyone having this mod managed to separet VSA-ChatBox so it displays separate chats for each domain ?

I have almost finished integration on 2 domains now, all looks good but had to edit loads of code manually, out of the box is not enough in my opinion for professional site.

Problem I'm having with this is the CMS will show links to the wrong domain sometimes. Until the cache is manually cleared, it will sometimes link to one of the other domains for the article.

Any way to fix this?

We are still sitting on vB 3.8 due to the problems I have with Share users database among many forums mod in vB 4.X.
Saw this mod & thought I was saved, then see it doesn't work with current versions x.11 & x.12.
It looks like what I would be after so if it can be released as a working copy on all vB 4's, paying for it would be OK with me.
