Using Dolphin on a server that hosts multiple domains/one installation

I will have boonex on one server, but will add my own code that allows for different domains to be used on one installation.

I will be using code surrounding this piece

$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']

so as to determine what the domain is

So if the client browser goes to lets say domain1.com, all the characteristics of domain1 will be present, all the users that are registered with domain1, all the people chatting on domain1, all the news events for domain1, etc

but if the client browser goes to lets say domain2.com, the all the characteristics of domain2 will be present, etc

same thing for domain3.com and so forth.

Do I need to buy many licenses or can I use one?

Licences are on a per domain basis.

Examples.

Sub folders. (Only requires once licence)
mydomain.com/dolphin1
mydomain.com/dolphin2
mydomain.com/dolphin3
mydomain.com/dolphin4

Sub Domains (Requires separate licence for each sub domain)
sub1.mydomain.com
sub2.mydomain.com
sub3.mydomain.com
sub4.mydomain.com


Separate Domains (Requires separate licence for each domain)
mydomain1.com
mydomain2.com
mydomain2.com
mydomain4.com

Hmm. One install. I misread your question.

I do not see how you will accomplish this with one install. Dolphin was not written to do that.

You may want to just stick with free licences until you can determine if you can make it work.

I will sort of write a hack, add extra tables and use this

$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']

Yes, but i think you will find you will have to alter a lot of dolphin code to get it to work reliably.

So you should not even consider licences until you are sure you can make dolphin do it.

But the general rule is if dolphin has a different domain in its config file, it will need a separate licence.

So just to be clear with this

I can buy one license (Prime or Permanent) and then add my own code to make this all work?

(I'm just asking about the license, the coding would be entirely my responsibility and if it fails that would be my problem)

I cannot answer that one with 100% certainty. One of the boonex administrators would most likely be the only ones that can answer with certainty.

It's a unique setup.

You may want to try the contact form. http://www.boonex.com/help/contact or email to one of the addresses at the bottom of that form.

Boonex themselves will not respond to this post unless thay happen to see it.

Thanks for the response.

I already did that and I'm waiting.

You will most likley be waiting a few days. No staff on the weekends.
