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.

There shouldn't be an issue. You'll need to add your sub domain to the Post Referrer Whitelist in vBulletin Options

With this modification your other Style will get Indexed in Search engine and compete with your real style and kill off each other with duplicate content .

I brought this up before if you dont want search engine results then it dont matter

See post #51 for a solution to this:

Why not just redirect your Domains to your Style ids Server Side

www.dieselbombers.com
www.dieselbombers.mobi

[dartho]

htaccess redirects work well for doing what this plugin does - however it doesn;t seem to be working for your site? the .mobi just redirects to the .com?styleid=6 which doesn't look like a particularly firendly mobile style

i cant get this to work at all...no matter what I do, the links on m.loungeboard.com always point to my main site.....i have vbseo i added the line of code that was mentioned earlier but still no luck....

Dartho, thanks for this mod - it is exactly what I am looking for. I believe I am very close to having it function, however still hitting a snag. My usage case is very similar to tekguru: I have vbseo installed on my forum and I manage my domain through cPanel. I'm somewhat of a newbie at site administration.

I installed the skin and mod at www.ontrackdriver.com. You can see that the Mobile skin is user selectable.

I have installed the "Different Domain, Different Style" product and configured it to use the Mobile skin.

I did the other alterations to account for vbseo: edited functions_vbseo.php, changed the absolute vs. relative settings, plus enabled the cookie for .ontrackdriver.com, as per tekguru's suggestions.

The problem is, when I add m.ontrackdriver.com as a sub-domain in cPanel, a visit to that URL simply re-directs to the default skin.

I believe the issue may be my method for creating the sub-domain m.ontrackdriver.com. In cPanel, I have:

-Subdomains
-Addon Domains
-Parked Domains
-Redirects

Is it necessary to use the Parked Domains method? The Subdomains method does not work when I add m.ontrackdriver.com and use the forum root as the root path. It simply redirects (even with redirection 'disabled') to the default skin.

Thanks for your help!

EDIT: Oh yeah, when I try to add m.ontrackdriver.com using the Parked Domains method, I get the following error:

Error from park wrapper: Sorry, you are not allowed to add any more than (0) parked domains!

So if I need to use the Parked Domains method, perhaps I need a different hosting package from Glowhost (my provider)?

I don;t have a cpanel account, but if memory serves you can use subdomains, you just need to not have redirectes, and set it's root folder to be the same as your primary domain.

Check your .htaccess file to make sure you don;t have any redirects in there - I noticed that ontractdriver.com redirects to www.ontrackdriver.com
