***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.

I see "homeurl" is an available option but what about "hometitle" (so that the footer nav doesn't point to the 'real' hometitle in the ACP)?

For those interested, the fix would be to modify your "** Load Config **" plugin and look for...
Code:
case 'bbtitle':
     if($ib_in_matching_host) {
          $vbulletin->options['bbtitle'] = $ib_the_spec[1];
     }
     break;
... and then below it add:
Code:
case 'hometitle':
     if($ib_in_matching_host) {
          $vbulletin->options['hometitle'] = $ib_the_spec[1];
     }
     break;
Seeing now the relationship between the configuration options in the ACP and how easy it is to add new ones, now I'm wondering what other little tweaks could be done.

I have to see yet what I need to do to get my vBa CMPS modules to play nice with it.

Ok, so it appears 2 diff domains can have unified logins and profiles. However can I move a forum thread from one domain to another domain via mod tools? Also, how would this mod affect things like vbgallery? Thanks!

That is a great question about moving threads between the two.

It's all the same installation and some forums are shared so in theory it sounds like it would work... don't know though.

You should be able to move a thread the same way you would before as it is all on the same database. If you move it to a forum that is under a different domain, then yes, it would go to a different domain name.

As for vbgallery, we have not tested it, although my initial guess is that there would be duplicates on each URL (No way to specify which sections go to which domain)

Can someone think of a way/modification to use this mod to connect a 3.8 with a 4 forum?

This mod uses a single database so it would never be part of solution to connect 3.8 with 4.0 forum.

There's a mod called vBnetwork that allows you to share forums across different forums on different servers and different versions... I'm using it now we share a forum with another 3.8 forum and a 4.0 forum.

Yes. With this product they all use the same files and the same database, so for vBulletin upgrades, you would be upgrading all at once.

Wow, so I tried it again. But now domain 1 works with no errors. But, domain 2 gets a "page not redirecting properly error".
Anyone else get this? I copied and pasted exactly as per instructions

[mysite1.com]
bbtitle=my site 1
bburl=mysite1.com/forum
homeurl=mysite1.com
catids=1,5,11
styleid=2
cookiedomain=.mysite1.com
facebookappid=1xxxxxxxxxxxxxx3
facebooksecret=7xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxf

[mysite2.com]
bbtitle=mysite2
bburl=mysite1.com/forum <---- I put the URL of the main forum because there is no forum at the mysite2.com. It is sharing mysite1.com forum!
homeurl=mysite2.com
catids=18
styleid=3
cookiedomain=.mysite2.com
facebookappid=
facebooksecret=
