    Point domain to a sub forum (community within the fourm)?

    I want to direct a domain to a sub forum since the sub forum is a seperate community to an extent (a section of the main forum, but a specific focus).

    What's the best way to do this? BTW GoDaddy is my registar if I need to do URL forwarding, but then it will be cloaked .

      You can use a HTML code :

      <HTML>
      <BODY>
      <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
      <!--
      window.location="http://Path to your forum";
      -->
      </SCRIPT>
      </BODY>
      </HTML>
      Replace Path to your forum as you like.
      Make it as index.htm or index.html

          So I need to setup a separate Virtual host, use that script then it will point to the right forum?

          Now that I think about it, couldn't I put some PHP code in PHP_Start and then do a <if condition for if Domain X display only X forums on home page and X style? I am completely useless at PHP, but I remember something about hiding/display X forums on home page.

          So if I could have a script that limits forum display to X Cat with a link to the other forums at the bottom, that could work. Or could I have a seperate Virtual host with index.php which pulls global.php and limits the info to the catagory? Then once the people are in, they can go to any forum on the board?

          Am I making sense?

              i have a similar question.

              i have two domains.

              domain1.com/forum is the location of my forum.

              our off-topic section is almost an entire seperate community, i own the domain of their name as well.

              how do i make it so that my other domain

              domain2.com points directly to domain1.com/forum/....offtopic address.

              ?

              i only have the name registered for domain2- no seperate hosting.

              any ideas?
