Re: Mightysites, 1 domain, 5 subdomains, multi p8pBB

We came up with a workaround solution of assigning different templates to K2 categories which eliminated the need for subdomains. We wanted to do this in the beginning but the customer was dead set on using subdomains. I found two phpBB templates on Themeforest (Milk and Avalanche) that allow its ...

Re: Impact on SEO

Regarding SEO and subdomains, I tried to find a Joomla component to generate XML sitemaps for a domain and associated subdomains. I could not find one but did find a company with a script that could be run as a cron job to generate a single sitemap for both the domain and any number of subdomains ...

Re: Mightysites, 1 domain, 5 subdomains, multi p8pBB

Found more recent information in this thread. https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?p=3087439#p3087439 The initial table changes mentioned in this thread should work. The core changes to the phpBB code mentioned in the thread should not be necessary. Will try the above tonight. I would ...

Re: Mightysites, 1 domain, 5 subdomains, multi p8pBB

The document below dates back to 2003 but the basic concept should still apply because the constants.php file exists in 3.2.1. http://www.neothermic.com/kb/article55.html So theoretically it's possible to install multiple copies of phpBB and configure the constants.php to use shared tables for ...

Re: Mightysites, 1 domain, 5 subdomains, multi p8pBB

With phpBB, I believe there is a way of sharing the authentication, authorization and probably other common tables and having separate tables for storing forum content. With earlier versions of phpBB, the configuration file used constants like a language file (like old versions of osCommerce). I'm ...

Mightysites, 1 domain, 5 subdomains, multi p8pBB

Note sure if this is possible reading the case studies. I am thinking about one domain and five subdomains. Already figured out how to handle the SEO for the subdomains using a third-party service to generate the sitemap XML. I want to run one instance of phpBB for each subdomain. I assume ...

Re: Access to the user manual

Another request for the installation instructions. I believe I understand the sharing concept and configuration for the Joomla part of the installation based on your description and restrictions, but I am guessing about bridging phpBB for your multisite concept. That is, installing three separate ...

Direct Alias Pro and GTranslate Commercial

Has anyone tried using Direct Alias Pro in conjunction with one of the commercial versions of GTranslate? The commercial version of GTranslate is a plugin that can either add a two-character language subdomain (ru.domain.com) or language code (domain.com/ru) to the url. With SEF products, they ...
