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.

dartho,

I would like visitors that enters http://mobil.byggahus.se to get forced to (redirected to)
http://www.byggahus.se/forum?styleid=17 (the forum with the Mobile style)
BUT visitors that enters http://byggahus.se, http://byggahus.se/forum, http://www.byggahus.se or http://www.byggahus.se/forum to get the default style.

What do I need to do in order to achieve this? I have asked the web hotel to create the sub domain mobil.byggahus.se and are using vBSEO and redirects in .htaccess.

In headerinclude for a different domain that links to the same content. It will tell spiders not to index it. You won't get a penalty for duplicate content.

I have now added the suggested below the "link rel" row. I hope I did the correct thing!? headerinclude for the Mobile style now looks like this:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="wireless.css" type="text/css" />
<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW">

• Register the mobil subdomain and have it point to or be parked on the same webspace as your main domain, do not use redirects. There is no need to modify .htaccess withthis add-on.
• Install the single domain version of this product (product-ddds37.xml)
• Head to AdminCP->vBulletin Options->vBulletin Options->Different Domain, Different Style
• Enable DDDS : Yes
• Domain Name: mobil
• Style for this domain: <your mobile style>
• Save

I'm having a problem with this and hopefully someone can guide me...

I've setup mobile.extremebusa.com in cpanel
I've enable DDDS in VB Options, included the sub domain mobile.extremebusa.com, and included the style https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=229241

When I go to mobile.extremebusa.com I get a directory listing!

Any help will be appreciated.

Is your document root pointing to teh same document root as your primary website - probably public_html/ ?

i get this error, no matter wad template i use!
see

wap.motorolafans.com

Warning: array_intersect() [function.array-intersect]: Argument #2 is not an array in [path]/global.php(238) : eval()'d code on line 33

How can I get this to work with VB 4?

I think this is the prefered way of directing users to a mobile style instead of device detection.

Works excellent om my 3.8 site!
