[ABD] phpBB3 Hosting Script

[Hexcode]

Today I will report my new php script, a phpBB 3 hosting Script

Description: With this script, visitors can order a phpBB3 forum over a form, this forums will then be created by the php script. All forums use one phpBB installation, except the config / cache etc. these are created for each forum. Each forum has own tables, when you create several databases for those tables, the forums are splitted in the databases. The forums are always installed in the database which currently containing the fewest forums. The script also needs a couple of tables. To use the script, the server must have wildcard subdomains.

Currently there is no english version, but if any wants to translate it from german to english you are welcome

This could be very helpful for me if translated to English. Hopefully there is someone fluent in German and English that can do this.

Anyway, I'll look through the code when I get the chance.

Is there a way to make it use directories instead of subdomains?

[Hexcode]

With little modifications I think yes, I'm looking for a way to use it with this and than publish the way here.

[imkingdavid]

Thanks for working on it. I'll have to try it out when I get some time.

[Hexcode]

yes, but before you can use it, I'll have to find out a way to handle it with htaccess

Today there is a new Version released v0.0.3, this version fix some bugs in the acp of the hosting script.

Is "hosting script" an entire rewritten phpBB ??
How about main updates?

[Hexcode]

Main-Updates of phpBB should do by the normal phpBB Auto-Updater, this should be work.
And when there is a phpbb update I update the script with the new SQL-Changes.
For the hosting there aren't many files edited, the changes in phpBB are quiete simple.

Do not think all of this it is so simple, beware. &

Great mod

I hope it can be worked out so directories/folders can be used.

For a while I had opened my own hosting site.
The auto-updater works great on it, but the styles I have to update manually whats often need some time to do this by 80 styles by hand, but the code of phpbb is updated simple.

[ijhtio]

so it is more like *forumer.com

nice idea...would like to see it released

imkingdavid and keith10456 have already told what I have in mind

[Hexcode]

I think this will work:

Open phpBB3/config.php and find

Code: Select all

$split = explode('.', $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);
if($split[0] == "http://" OR $split[0] == "www" OR $split[0]  == "http://www")
{
	$subdomain = $split[1];
	$domain = $split[2].".".$split[3];
}
else {
	$subdomain = $split[0];
	$domain = $split[1].".".$split[2];
}

replace with:

Code: Select all

$split = explode('/', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
$subdomain = $split[2];

Open phpBB3/includes/functions.php
Find:

Code: Select all

	// Datenbank Prefix auslesen 
	$split = explode('.', $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']); 
	if($split[0] == "http://" OR $split[0] == "www" OR $split[0] == "http://www"){ $subdomain = $split[1];} 
	else { 
	$subdomain = $split[0]; 
}

replace with:

Code: Select all

$split = explode('/', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
$subdomain = $split[2];

Open phpBB3/includes/acm/acm_file.php
Find

Code: Select all

		$split = explode('.', $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']); 
		if($split[0] == "http://" OR $split[0] == "www" OR $split[0] == "http://www"){ $subdomain = $split[1];} 
		else { 
		$subdomain = $split[0]; 
		} 

Replace with:

Code: Select all

$split = explode('/', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
$subdomain = $split[2];

Open the .htaccess in the Script-Root, not the .htaccess of the forum find:

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine On

and add after

Code: Select all

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^forum/(.*)$ /forum1/ [L]

I think that that should work, can someone test this? Because I don't have test it yet...

//Edit: After i have tested it now, it went something wrong with the htaccess... i have to search a better version of it

[Hexcode]

I think im going to implement a real template class
The one out of phpBB http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopi ... &t=1557455 is the best way I think^^
