vBsubdomain2

Well well... You ask 4 it. Here it is.
This is the extended Version of my first one. Details

It includes the same features + many things more.
The main features are:
* member can as much subdomains (redirektors) as admin allows
* admin can allow/disallow the usage 4 every member and/or usergroup
* full integrated searching for vBsubdomain-user in adminCP
* custom error & redirect templates 4 this hack

Atention!
vBulletin3-Alpha1 is out now, so i will stop to work on this hack
for vB2. It?s possible that I will make a new one for vB3.
Also, the most templates in the zip-file are in german and have
to translate.
And you should only try to install this hack on a test-board.
There isn?t a "1-file-hack-instruction" in the zip! You have to be
advanced install-knowlege to let it work.

OK, hacker! Now it?s your turn.

Edit: a basic translation of templates can be found here

Is it possible to mask the domain these subdomains link to with the subdomain name? If that were the case, something like this could be used as a no-ip type of service. That is something I would truly be interested in.

Hi all!
Cause I have to work on a lot of different projects, it?s
impossible 4 me to visit this thread often.
I?m realy sorry 4 that.
(And my english is still bad.)

At this moment, I was able to spend a few minutes to help...
Enough said. Let?s do...

@ wolfe
"i think it should be added to VB3 as a default hack this is incredible"
Thanks! It?s realy fine to hear that kind of feedback!
I often think about the hard work I had with this hack in the past
& how much usefull it will be to include the new features. Still 10 min. ago I would have said that I will not make this work nevertheless probably. But than I read your posting.... So:
That?s the reason why I will include the features above, if a stable version of vB3 is avaible. :rambo:

@ diavolo
Yes that?s right, You have to do every query seperatly with phpmyadmin.

@ Mist
*hehe* Yeah I know how hard it is to translate freakin' words with google!
"Is there any change you could provide us with the english templates?"
I will try to do a 'general manner translation' in the next days.

@ hellsatan
"I would be very interested to see if this works"
Sure, why not? My first hack of this kind was vbSubdomains v1.x.
It?s working fine and the only different to vbSubdomains v2 are some more features. Oh, another different is present.:
Version1 comes with hack-instructions, Version2 comes only with my short informations I write down while develop it. irate:
Now I have add a special acc 4 to allow a DEMO of this hack.
- go to my page -> http://www.minots.de/
- login with betatester/betatester
- got to the UserCP -> http://www.minots.de/usercp.php?s=
- choose 3. Option from left (edit options) http://www.minots.de/member.php?s=&action=editoptions
- scroll down to the bottom of the page an hit the "Subdomain Daten" button

Note: This UserAcc can?t post anything and the redirection will not work for him. But you can see and play around with the redirection-options. Add, Del a.s.o.
And.... No, I doesn?t make a "test-Admin-acc"

@ TimHL
Yes it does. A adfree redirection service 4 your Members.

@ Goldknight
Before santa is coming, you will get something like that.
But remain already well-behaved! ( hehe, just kidding )

@ eckels2
Jepp, this will done in the next version. And I?m thinking about
3 ways of 'IP-updates' for the "no-ip type service" (aka DynIP).
1. IP-Update Option: the subdomainuser just have to visit your board
2. IP-Update Option: the subdomainuser is using a personal "update-url" with his browser (a simply entry in favorites will be usefull )
3. IP-Update Option: a small "automatic-update-client" was installed. (something like the one from DynIP.com)

That?s what I wanna do, but I can?t promise that every 3 Option
will be avaible.
Option 1 will be very easy, I think.
Option 2 is a little bit harder, but possible in a few hours.
Option 3 is the "deluxe Version". I will be glad if this work!

---------------------------------------------------------------
Ok hackers. Thats all 4 the moment.

With Best regards,

[Dean C]

I dont know any German at all and when i tried the translator - not everything worked..

This hack would be installed on my forums by now had the templates been in english

[SRozhon]

It was hard to install though with the language problem, but I think I got it now.

Maybe I can offer a little advise to the forum based on what I had problems with.

With the query, change

PRIMARY KEY (userid), UNIQUE username (username))
so it is
PRIMARY KEY (userid), UNIQUE username (username));

that helped me, otherwise you can do one query at a time.
------------------------

Ok, I just tried it out and even though I have set it to VIP, yes and Yes I get this permission screen when I press the subdomain options button.

You do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:
You do not have permission to access the page that you were trying to. Are you trying to edit someone else's post or trying to access administrative features? Check that you are allowed to perform this action in the Forum Rules.
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

Can anyone offer some help? :bunny: Thanks!

[Minots]

There are english templates in the followed attach.
I realy hope that my english is good enough 4 you all.

@ SRozhon
Please try this:
AdminCP -> User Groups -> Modify (administrator)

scroll down to "Miscellaneous Permissions" and check the option
"Can use vBSubdomain"

and try this one:
AdminCP -> Users -> your username

sroll down to "vBSubdomain Options" and check options
"Use vBSubdomain"
"Is vBSubdomain-VIP"

[Dean C]

Some of those templates aren't proper english..

I'll have a go at a proper translation from what you've done already 2 weeks 2moro

[Minots]

@ Mist

[Dean C]

- miSt

[SRozhon]
