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.

Check Devgaming.net or even dgl.devgaming.net or any of the links in the main menu

Thank you!

I have it working fine with my network of message boards. Out of all of the sites (six) all had custom themes, however only had issues with one which has now been fixed, edited and working fine on 4.1.4.

I love this mod, just have to learn how to have different vBAdvanced installations for each board like previously shown in this thread, have contacted the designer of those sites - even offering to pay and no reply - shame as it would be perfect - but apart from that all of my sites are working great.

And you manage this with all the other hacks that you had before or you had to disable something ?

Wondering if anyone else is having this problem. My main site tends to time out when trying to load it but the other domains load just fine. Any ideas?

I would pay money for a final & supported product of this.

I hope someone can make it happen

Feel like the problem I am having with slowdown and timeouts on the main site has something to do with cookies.

All the other sites work just fine but you only have to log in to one of them to be logged in to all of them even though the cookie domain is set up correctly. The main site still requires log in though.

Wonder what could be causing this, frustrating.

I just wanted to be sure on this.. If I use sub-domains.. say English.mydomain.com , French.mydomain.com, German.mydomain.com... etc and www.mydomain.com is my lisc'd vB domain. I don't need more lisc's as long as all sub-domains are built around that domain?

That is the rulling we have all been running with up to now yes

Ok, upgraded to 4.1.4 and although cerberus works for the forum my CMS homepage no longer works correctly.

I get this error: An unexpected error has occured. Please try again later. If this error continues to occur, please notify the administrator.

Anyone know why?
