Create sub-domain was created by Dionysus
Hi There,

I registered with www.vidilife.com/

with username: doggie

then the system automatically generated a sub-domain.

doggie.vidilife.com

I was wondering if this was possible with CB?

Thanks all,
D

don't think it's related to CB but more to your hosting features.

Not a lot have that feature. Otherwise, you may write or use a script that deals with CPanel APIs.

If you own your server, you can configure your apache url rewriting engine to fetch data from CB tables.

Yes this is possible. I answered this question before.

First of all, it is not really a subdomain but it is using mod-rewrite.

For this to work you need a dns server that directs *.domain.com to domain.com

Then you modify the mod_rewrite line for user homepages and it picks up the rest.

Good luck :)

I just did it on my website..

trail.djtrail.nl tester.djtrail.nl etc etc

the rewrite line i used was

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ([^/]+)\.djtrail\.nl [NC]
RewriteCond %1 !www$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ www.djtrail.nl/%1 [L]

+ the old rewrite line for homepages makes:

RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/?$ index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=userProfile&user='$1' [L]

for this to work i first had to ditch all my real subdomains (you can have both if you want a headache).. and make *.djtrail.nl go to djtrail.nl via dns settings.
