2 domains using same forums

[istion]

Hi,  I have two domains I would like to work (without appearance of forwarding the domain) on the same forum.

So I would like .domain.com  and otherdomain.com [nofollow] to operate on the same forum.  If .domain is accessed that is all you see in the url and vice versa.

Is there a method/work around for this??

Thanks,

Ken

Simply put the following code into a php file and place it in the root directory of your SMF install it, navigate to it to run it, and then delete it (if it didn't delete itself)... and that's it... your board is now accessible from both urls and will maintain the proper URL as you navigate the site.  Change the URL's to suit your needs of course.  The list of urls should be a comma separated list of urls that are aliases to your main domain.  You can include your main domain (as I would) in the list as well just for easy maintenance in knowing all aliases you use for your board.

Code Select Expand

<?php

require_once('SSI.php');

updateSettings(array('forum_alias_urls' => 'http://mydomain1.com/path/to/smf, http://mydomain2.com/path/to/smf'));

unlink(__FILE__);

To see the code on how this works, you can check Sources/Load.php, just search for 'forum_alias_urls'

will this work with SMF 2.0 ?

Interesting, what if you want to stop using it?

If you run the same script again, but remove the domain you don't want that should take care of it.

i tried this, and it seems to load everything from the domain i load the forum with, except for the smileys.
any idea how to fix this?

[lorth]

my mistake, i didn't fix the smiley-url.
works like a charm now.
