Sub-Flarum with Master-Flarum auth

arajdon

Hi!

I've got currently a full-working flarum installation (=master-flarum). Now, i want to create another installation (=sub-flarum), but authentication should be done over the master-flarum. (That would be already possible with the API)

And if someone new registers on the sub-flarum, it should be written to the master-flarum.

Also, to think about is a cross-domain login. Meaning if an user performs a login on master-flarum.tld, he also will be logged on sub-flarum.tld and the other way.

Idea behind this is to have multiple installations with different themes, colors, topics or languages.

Any ideas on this?

Thanks!

I remember something like this when a mod author on Vbulletin.org introduced adding additional installations slaving over a master installation.

Basically you have flarumexample1.com and is sub-installations listed as so:

(Master) flarumexample1.com
(Slave) b1.flarumexample1.com
(Slave) b2.flarumexample1.com
(Slave) etc.flarumexample1.com

One installation is the master installation and the other three share the same database but have different tags and theme.

So for example:

You have a "Gaming" tag that you have created and stored in the main DB under the master installation, but you want to only have it show up on b2.flarumexample1.com.

Am I in the right direction as to what you want to achieve?

Lets make it the easy way. 2 examples:

Topic based:
master.flarum.tld: No special content. *
minecraft.flarum.tld: Only Minecraft
csgo.flarum.tld: Only Counterstrike
arma.flarum.tld: Only ArmA

Or language or region based:
master.flarum.tld: No content, just working as master. *
de.flarum.tld: German
en.flarum.tld: English
pl.flarum.tld: Polish

* All discussions or posts stay on each "slave", so minecraft.flarum.tld wont have any content of csgo.flarum.tld.

This is one approach:

Create an extension that handles the routing for the slave forums, create a few new columns (mainly tag permissions based on sub-domain), and test multiple installs on the same domain but individual sub-domains,

It isn't impossible (mostly due to the fact that Flaurm is free and open source) but it will take some time to develop.
