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.

it's based on URL

So does that mean that if a user is browsing to
my1st_url.com/index.php he will see vba page 1
while when browsing
my2nd_url.com/index.php he will see vba page 2?
because both locations are are the same file.

that is correct :up:

Does this address the problem of the vBA 'home' link on the mobile portal still pointing back to the main sites domain?

a true genius. thank you for this mod!

You would need to somehow do a temp change to bburl and homeurl.

My setup is slightly different. I have my forums on myforums.com -- but I want to set up vBa CMPS "front pages" on mydomain.com. It works just fine (after cleaning up the style, so that links are properly set up) except for the "Welcome Block", which does not update the myforums.com login status while looking at mydomain.com. Is there a way to fix this?

Update: I'm tinkering around with this add-on, and it looks like it works well, but I only want it to display/force a specific "frontpage" depending upon the domain (i.e., if no specific page has been designated). How can your plugin be modified to allow this to function properly?

[dartho]

I don't really understand what extra functionality you're asking for - what you're describing sounds like what this already does. What do you mean by "Frontpage"?
