Make cookies work properly with multiple domains

If your site is available at, for example, http://www.vbulletin.org as well as http://vbulletin.org (one with the www and one without) then your forums will work perfectly under either domain name.

However, if you log on at http://www.vbulletin.org, you won't be logged on at http://vbulletin.org as well, since the cookies held on your machine are different for each domain name.

Further, if you own www.vbulletin.info as well (not the case here), these other domain names will cause problems with cookies as mentioned earlier, and also confuse automatic traffic measurement tools like Alexa and Hitwise.

If you want to fix it, then you'll find a hackette enclosed. (It's one line of code). It will translate any page request on http://vbulletin.org to the same page on http://www.vbulletin.org/

See it working here on VBulletin (installed after I suggested it and it was modified slightly by Firefly to make it a bit easier).

Also see the same code working, albeit not under VBulletin, by going to http://www.virginradio.co.uk (the 'real' address) or http://virginradio.co.uk/ or http://www.virgin-radio.com/ or... etc

I get on average 30 mails a day hurling abuse for banning them (Ok MOST did get banned anyhow as we are very strict) but any small help to prevent this is welcomed as has been said above not every user is computer literate and often needs as much help as they can get.

Once again I thank you for this hack and it HAS already proven invaluble on my forums.

Yours

Since i installed this lil hack some members of my board saying that they are loggedin as a other user. Some members are loggedin as a moderator and see the private forums.

I dont know how this could be happen and i'm not sure if this hack is the problem. I deleted this hack now and hope that the problem is solved.

Don't understand how that can happen at all. All we're doing is redirecting someone.

Uninstalled, I'm getting 404 errors on other people's sites when I go to enter a forum, other pages are loading that I've never visited etc etc... Very weird.
