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.

Can this be modified to allow you to have different styles on different subforums?

You can already assign a style to a [sub]forum with vanilla vBulletin ...

Hey I think this may interfere with vBseo in some way.

mobile.htireland.com goes to the mobile theme no problem, but all the links from then all go back to www.htireland.com.

Is there any other reports of this?

I had the same problem, and solved it here:

I've installed this mod and it is working perfectly, allowing me to go to a mobile skin via a sub domain.

However I also have the same issue as mentioned by Jase2. From the admin panel, when I go to vBulletin Options and scroll through the Setting Group list, an entry for DDDS is not shown. However there is a completely blank entry in the list and when i select this it goes to the DDDS settings page. Therefore it looks like it is adding the entry correctly into the Setting Group list but not adding a title.

I finally found and fixed the name not showing up in vBulletin options - simply reinstall and overwrite existing...

[Amiga Harrison]

Great. Thanks. That fixed it.

Nevermind....found my answer about vBSEO above.

I must be the only one this isn't working for

I setup http://m.bayoushooter.com/ to forward to http://www.bayoushooter.com/forums and the redirect works so I installed the hack, turned it on, put "m.bayoushooter.com" in the domain name field and chose my mobile skin but when you go to m.bayoushooter.com it redirects but uses the default skin.

[dartho]

You shouldn't be using redirects as it does as the name implies, redirects you to the destination domain and as such this add-on won;t kick in.

You need to point or park your m.bayoushooter.com subdomain on the same webspace as your standard domain.
