Forum Display Enhancements - DDDS - Different Domain Different Style

This is a simple add-on which will force a specific styleid based on the host url the user visited.

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.

Other uses may be having wap.domainname.com point to a different style than www.domainname.com.

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.

Here's an example of it in use (this is the single additional domain version - product_ddds_36.xml)
DDDS is installed and configured to assign a different style to the domain "m.twf.com.au"

http://twf.com.au - is my regular site/style
http://m.twf.com.au - is the same site, but using a different style designed for mobile devices (THIS one)

In my case dont work
Look de captures
What's wrong? helpme please!

[dartho]

Is the Mobile style actually styleid 2? (In that screen shot "2" is the display order) Click on the "Go" button next to the style name and then look at the top for the screen for the styleid

Thanks.
StyleID problem fixed but..... dont work.
What is the best way for make the redirection between subdomain (in this case m) and main url...

Example: m.url.com ---> www.url.com ?

[dartho]

OK - I see your problem.

A redirection will not work as this sends the http://m.url.com subdomain to http://www.url.com what you need to do is add the http://m.url.com subdomain and "park" it on top of your http://www.url.com domain

I'm not sure what controlpanel you are using for managing your domain, but the "Documento Principal" in your screen shot should be "/public_html/" with no redirection.

Hope this helps!

There have been some questions previously about the Vbulletin license agreement and how this add-on may be use to break it. I've just found a post on Vbulletin.com HERE

1. Your forum is accessable from multiple domains but the content is the same for each link. This is OK and does not require multiple licenses. My site is an example of a multi-domain setup that is allowed:

http://www.mscclan.com/forum/
http://www.macsubculture.com/forum/
http://www.mac-gamer.com/forum/

Notice how each domain points to exactly the same content.
2. Your forum is accessable from multiple domains but each domain shows a different forum style. This is OK and does not require multiple licenses.
3. Your forum is accessable from multiple domains and your forums are configured to show/hide certain forums based on the domain. This is not OK and requires an active vBulletin license for each domain. In this situation the forums appear to have separate content thereby making them separate forums in the eyes of the license agreement. Your forum content needs to be the same for each domain in order to qualify as a single forum.

In essence, it would appear that no matter how you use this add-on, it will not break the license agreement.
