How to use CMSMS with 2 sub-domains?

[dmaireroa]

Hi there

I am building this website and want to use CMSMS for 2 sub-domain under the one domain name. First, I will build a landing page with 2 different buttons linking to 2 sub-domains; 12.name.com and 13.name.com. Is there a way to use the same CMSMS for more than one sub-domain or do I have to install 2 separate CMSMS?

Many thanks in advace

For starters, you would have to replace the hard-coded value in $config['root_url'] in config.php with something like:

Code: Select all

$config['root_url'] = 'http://' . $_SERVER['SERVER_name'];

..otherwise, no matter which subdomain you are on, whenever you click on something, it will go back to the domain that it was installed with.

Hello,

Well there's a module I've been considering using for a client who needs this functionality:

http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/projects/multidomains

Please note that I've not tried it, used it or have anything to do with it. I am intending to give it a test drive soon and see if it handles what I want.

Perhaps it will be useful for you?

Cheers,
Mark.
