Guest | | Domain Name? (29th Aug 09 at 6:11pm UTC) | | I'm just wondering, for the Domain Hosting purchase fro the shop, what does it mean by Domain Name. I'm not sure if its the over all domain name for the site or the domain name that I want used on the forum.

That would refer to the part of the domain where you wish the forum to appear. So it could be the overall domain name (eg. yourforumsite.com) or it could be a sub-domain name of that (eg. forum.yoursite.com).

It has been setup for you. Sorry for the delay, it's been a bank Holiday weekend so I was taking a well deserved rest 
If you have any problems or questions then please feel free to ask

Ok thank you, its working now. I was wondering, how can the API be edited so that when one logs in it login in both places. I know I asked you about it before and you said something about cross domain problems, but since they are now setup for the same domain, it should be do able now.

Edit: For some reason http://www.forum.divineshadowsonline.com don't work, only http://forum.divineshadowsonline.com does. | |

Hi Dwight,
Can you confirm which version of the API you are using? The original one or the newer one? The newer one has support for this built in. The older one needs a couple of lines to be editted.
With regards to the www. version, our system is capable of working with or without it. eg http://www.donthost.co.uk and http://donthost.co.uk however you would need to setup another CNAME record to point www.forum. to our server. I'm not entirely sure if that is even possible with some registrars (I have never attempted it myself). You may be able to just setup a URL forwarder through your registrar to redirect the version with www. However having said all that, it is very non-standard to use a www. prefix on a sub-domain as that effectively makes it a sub-sub-domain. | |

I'm currently using the newer one, I do my best to keep it up-to-date. But for some reason it isn't working. I have even tried changing the forums url in the php setup from divineshadowsonline.vforums.co.uk to forum.divineshadowsonline.com, but when i do it crashes the API.
I understand, just would seem very unprofessional if without the www. it goes to the site and with the www. it gives and error page. | |

pmwwwgtalkvForum | | Re: Domain Name? (1st Sep 09 at 11:32pm UTC) | | OK, to enable the functionality on the new API, you just need to pass a 3rd parameter when initializing the API:
$myvar = new vforums_api("username.vforums.co.uk", "MyApIkEy", ".divineshadowsonline.com");
This will set the base domain to set the cookies on, making them accessible to both the website and forum so the user is logged into both systems. | |
