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.

If anyone is interested, this hack does NOT work with vB4.

[dartho]

no? I was actually under the impression that it did. I'll look into it

Hmmm. It installed correctly, but I couldn't get the redirect to work. But it did work for me on vB3... Could it have something to do with the redirect from index.php to forum.php?

Any chance you've had a moment or two to look at this?

[dartho]

edit the headinclude template and change the line

<base href="{vb:raw vboptions.bburl}/" />

to

Also make sure you add any extra domains to your post whitelist

You rock. I assume this needs to be edited in the mobile skin?

TESTIN!!!

edit: I edited it just in the mobile skin, then in all skins. That didn't seem to work. Still redirects to main domain name.

reedit: And Ive added the domain to the whitelist...

[fly]

Oh, and I only have the forum piece enabled, in case that redirect from index.php to forum.php is somehow interfering with it.

[dartho]

it's working a treat on my test site - that template edit was to make URL's relative so that it didn;t flick back to the main domain.

Edit: Is the style user selectable - mine was, I unchecked it and then this addon did not kick in - vBulletin may have changed some internals so that overriding non selectable styles may not be possible now

[fly]

Yes, it is a selectable style.
