Hi,

I'm wondering if i can do this - with or without an addon. Just want to know if possible and how :)

I have an existing forum that covers a few different games and want to have different vBa entry pages that point to the same exact forum with same content from different domains.

Something like this:

GameA.com is vBa page with BLUE style and forum path points to GameForum.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=1

GameB.com is vBa page with RED style and forum path points to GameForum.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=2

GameC.com is vBa page with GREEN style and forum path points to GameForum.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=3

GameD.com is vBa page with Black style and forum path points to GameForum.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=4

All forums have exact same content using same vb install - nothing hidden, all accessible, just from different entry points using vBa

I tried just installing vBa and then putting the cmps_index on each home page with the forum path set but that didn't quite work ...

(using vb 3.8.0 and vBa 3.1.0)

All help or "how-to's" appreciated. Thanks!

anyone have an idea? maybe i wasn't clear enough or too wordy...

I want to be able to access the same vb forums (same content in forums) from 3-4 different 'websites' (different domain names) and each of those domains would have its own vBadvanced entry page.

Possible? (is anyone doing this now?) & What are the steps to accomplish this.

Thank you!

Sounds like that would be your best bet. First just create some different CMPS pages through the Admin CP for each domain. Then create a different index.php file (from the cmps_index.php file) for each of those domains, and add the following code to each:
define('VBA_PAGE', 'page_identifier_here');

Replace 'page_identifier_here' with the Page Identifier from the CMPS page you want to be displayed and that will force that file to always display that page.

thanks i will give that a shot. I'm a vBa n00b so didn't even think of the Page solution till i read some more threads here.

Thank you - will report back once I've had a chance to try this!
