Multiple website

[cybergates]

Hello.

I plan to create website with many subdomains.
Try to explain:

There is one main website domain.com wich will be like the mirror of all subdomains listings.

for example  i have subdomain   region1.domain.com region2.domain.com region3.domain.com if user regsiter in one of subdomains or register in main website domain.com i need to make registration valid on all subdomains, and main domain.
Also if user posts listing in region1.domain.com iit should be visibile on main page -> domain.com also (but not visible on region2 and region3).

Is it possible to make this with osclass ? (all subdomains will have own database, but same user)

Can't happen with standard Osclass and dns-pseudo subdomain. If real sub-domains are used (separate installations) each site has its own db for ads/users.

dns-pseudo domains (via dns wildcard) share the same db for all subdomains.

Someone already done a site as you planned, but I do not know how to done,

subdomains looks same design, I do not know whether they have done installation for each subdomain or they used an another technique ( single installation and special connection with subdomains...)

They have opened subdomain for each cities for whole countries ( India, Australia , etc )
Installing osclass / plugins for so many cities subdomain folder one by one, it is a huge work...I suppose they may had found a way single installation with subdomains...

Hello,

I have one idea, but it is with only one database. You could create a main website on domain.com. After that you create subdomains, let's say lasvegas.domain.com and losangeles.domain.com. When you create the subdomains, you link all them to the main folder, so opening main domain and subdomains will open your main site. Then you could create a plugin or just a function that will show ads on from city/region which name is in the subdomain.

Regards.

Patrick,

So, it will still need another plugin to accomplish this? Also, what exactly does the subdomain or multiple website feature in the admin panel accomplish? I thought osclass was already programmed several years ago to setup for sub domains out of the box. I have also looked and posted in several forums looking for a solution to make one single user database for users to login but several sites with their own item database (not subdomains) but haven't had any luck so far.

Regardless, with sub domains I think there will be an issue with searching on each sub domain site - as it is the osclass search has several issues on one website - currently the search sidebar does not work for custom field searches unless permalinks are enabled and that too I am not sure if it works properly as there have been some reported issued.

Does anyone know how craigslist has so many subdomains (they even have different sites for small towns) - are they using one large database or are they using multiple databases?

I also agree that above links to that site should be removed - they do have several osclass product related websites but it looks like their themes and plugins are derivatives of others work and not their own - their main theme to the linked sites is from another well known theme seller and so are some of the themes they are selling and some themes are derivates of osclasswizards free theme and so are the plugins that are freely available in the osclass market.

BUT the posted ignored me and the admin of this forum has reacted.

whatever .... sometimes i feel i waste my time here.

Thanks for replies.

I found solution with wildcard, but now only one problem how to write ads information from one subdomain to main page (it should be like if poster posted ad in for example arizona.domain.com it should shown also in domain.com and arizona.domain.com but dont show in other subdomains like texas.domain.com and etc). and i need excatly with osclass not with other platforms.

I can install in every subdomain osclass but this will need stronger server (if subdomains will be 20-30)

BUT you asked for

Is it possible to make this with osclass ? (all subdomains will have own database, but same user)

and DNS widcards have same db for everything.

[cybergates]

yes sorry didnt edited first post. I think its very expensive to use 1 osclass  for 1 subdomain so wildcard will be better.  and plugin (if someone can programe such plugin for multisite)

Well i had wildcard dns for a while, and it was terrible. Extremely poorly implemented in Osclass. All subdomains show in the main page, search is bad, SEO doesn't exist.

Also confusing to people. You have no idea where you are and how to exit and go to an other subdomain/area/or country.

So, what did you do? Make subdirectories for different countries or install in different domains?

What i did was drop the idea to have 50 countries as wildcard dns pseudodomains (had that for a year or so) and created only a few as real Osclass websites (one site per subdomain). Wasn't easy and it is not practical to maintain.
