UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 7 Development How Do I? Two domains on same server - URL problems

Did a few searches and found stuff relating to cross-domain cookies, duplicate installations, and the referer information, but not this particular issue.

We recently added a second domain name (bloodnmud.com) to our site so it wouldn't be blocked by stingy firewalls (our primary domain is OrangeWhoopass.com). Both domains point to the same installation of UBBt+IIP on the same physical server.

Site pages load normally when using the second domain, with no broken links or images. However, all links generated by UBB always point back to orangewhoopass.com, which pretty much defeats the purpose of the second domain. I notice that links in the IIP menu point to bloodnmud.com.

Is there any way to make UBB "know" what domain it's at and generate all of its links accordingly? Could I try typing "http://www.orangewhoopass.com/bbs|http://www.bloodnmud.com/bbs" into the absolute URL field, or would that hose the whole thing?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

in config.inc.php there are several places where the domain is hardcoded, for instance

$config['phpurl'] = "http://www.domain.com/forums";

You could replace all instances of www.domain.com with the variable $domain,
and at the top of the file define

$domain = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];

It might be better to override the URLs inside ubbt.inc rather than play with $config directly inside config.inc.

How do you mean "override" the urls?

EXCELLENT! Thanks!

I see it works, nice.

I mean what I say.

config.inc gets rewritten every time you submit a configuration page. This will result in the inserted variables being overwritten with their values.

So, instead, override things in ubbt.inc...

Isn't it only the variables in the "DB, Paths & URLs" page? Those are not likely to change, so it doesn't matter for us.
