Major Additions - CERBERUS: 1 vB4: runs multiple domains with custom styles, forums, universal login

***Attention: This product is currently UNSUPPORTED***

We would like to release an Alpha version of the vBulletin4 Cerberus product. This product allows you to create one vBulletin4 installation which can power unlimited number of domains and sub-domains; while allowing to customize each domain differently to make it look like different sites or sections. Domains will have one universal admincp and user login information.

***Example***
www.supercoolautoforum.com - main site, all forums
ferarri.supercoolautoforum.com - custom style and forums, same login
bmw.supercoolautoforum.com- custom style and forums, same login
honda.supercoolautoforum.com - custom style and forums, same login
supercoolmotorcycleforum.com - custom style and forums, same login

*** Why are you releasing this, I want more features?! ***

This is a very simple product; we believe that the basic functionality provided in this product will satisfy a lot of communities - and since the product is simple - it will be easy to extend it and modify it to work for your custom community requirements.

Overview of Current Features:

• One shared installation of vBulletin 4
• One shared user account on all domains
• Custom Style for each domain
• Custom Forum listing for each domain

Known Issues:

• CMS and Blogs are currently not configured to have special domain-specific categories and sections. CMS is shared across all sites although the appearance will be different for each domain.

Ok!

I have a domain.com

y created a sub.domain.com

If I go to sub.domain.com not works because it goes to sub.domain.com/content and this is the common cms.

But if i put sub.domain.com/forum.php It works!!!

BUT!

Look the footer!!! it says copy UNREGISTERED!!!

and here is in my vCerberus mainforum:

PHP Code:

[mainforum.local]
bbtitle=mainforum.local
bburl=mainforum.local
homeurl=mainforum.local
catids=5
styleid=1
cookiedomain=.mainforum.local
facebookappid=Your_appid_here
facebooksecret=Your_fb_secret_here

[sub.local]
bbtitle=sub.local
bburl=sub.local
homeurl=sub.local
catids=1
styleid=1
cookiedomain=.sub.local
facebookappid=Your_appid_here
facebooksecret=Your_fb_secret_here 


When I go to http://sub.local It redirected http://mainforum.local. How to fix it?

I feel like an idiot and for someone with an engineering degree that is tough to swallow I have installed the product, but after reading all the pages here, and every link, I cannot for the life of me understand what you all are talking about. Does ANYONE have a how to use for this? Install it by adding product I got, but then what? Edit what, click where? I see nothing new in my CPAdmin and nothing here to tell me what to do. It is like everyone has experience with vBulletin and expects us new folks to read minds and go to unknown areas. Please post some how to make peanut butter and jelly sandwich directions so we can all expand or knowledge.

Please help
