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.

Hi Dartho,

So, I can choose any domain for the mobile style? If this is the case, is the force style hack needed?

Regards Jason

You can use either add-on or both side by side.

One example of using side by side would be if you wanted to not auto-detect and force iPhones to a mobile style, but still wanted to give them the option of browsing. You could add iPhones to the exclusion list in the auto-detect mobile device hack and configure this addon so that iPhone users could still browse via mobile.domainname.com if they found the default style too slow or bandwidth hungry.

Ah, I see.

Dartho, I've just installed this product, but in the vBulletin options there is no title. Not a big problem, as I can still set the settings.

I also have an add-on that will assign a different vBAdvanced page based on the domain which I'll post up ... "Different Domain, Different vBAdvanced Page" should do for a name

Hi Dartho,

I want to use: www.tst2go.org... it doesn't seem to be owned by anyone -- would I have to purchase this -- or could I use it as an add-on domain?

Regards Jason

You would need to purchase the domain name, then depending on your hosting, you would need to park it on the same same webspace as your main domain

Just a slight question - Does this do anything different from just adding on a domain and using it as a redirect domain pointing to the styleid?

This doesn't add domains - you'll need to register any additional domains or set up sub-domains and configure them to point to the same webspace as your primary domain. Redirects will not work with this add-on as they simply redirect one url to your primary domain.

Once you have your domain names setup and visiting these domain names takes you to the same content as your primary domain you can then install and configure this add-on.

What it then does is checks the URL that was used to get to your site, and if this matches one configured with this add-on it will override the default style with the configured style.

For example, if your sites primary domain is "domain.com" and you use the default vBulletin style, all visitors to your domain will be presented with this default style.

If you then register say "pinkdomain.com" and configure it to use the same webspace as your primary domain, all visitors to "pinkdomain.com" will also be presented with the same default style. If you were to install a new style - lets say with a pink colour scheme called "Pink" and installed this addon, you could configure it such that all visitors to "pinkdomain.com" will be presented with the "Pink" style whilst visitors to "domain.com" will continue to be presented with the default style. The same could be done if you configured a subdomain of "pink.domain.com"

The user/visitor can not override the style with this addon, even if you allow them to change styles, this will force the visitor to what ever style you configure.

Hope this helps..

Hey I think this may interfere with vBseo in some way.

mobile.htireland.com goes to the mobile theme no problem, but all the links from then all go back to www.htireland.com.

Is there any other reports of this?
