Author Topic: Install LM on the same host, but under two domains (Read 2731 times)

Dear Dean Wiebe,

I need your kindly support.

I have a host, and two domain name: domain1.com and domain2.com. These two domains are on the SAME HOST, and shere the resources.

I installed LM under domain1.com, but I want to use with domain2.com, too.

I need this beacause unsubscribe, signup etc. links.

It looks ugly when the domain2.com subscribers see this unsubscribe link:

domain1.com/unsub.php

They should see domain2.com/unsub.php, otherwise they will wondering what is domain1.com ? And this is unprofessional, I think.

The possible solution would be that I would install LM under domain2.com, too. But why need I two installation on one host?

Is there any way to modify the unsubcribe, confirm, signup etc. links?

Greetings,

Unless you were to register a new domain that works for both sites you would have to use two separate installations. Remove links, etc. are all based on the ListMail installation URL, and at this time there can only be one of these.

You are welcome to perform multiple installations for your own sites.

Regards

Ok, but 2 intallations on the same host really does not make problems?

When the remove, confirm etc. links are different than my site's domain, then this is unprofessional, isn't it?

No, it should not cause any problems you wouldn't come across with a single installation.

I think most marketers would say yes, but if you run many sites with the same "company name" you could probably get away with a company-name-oriented ListMail domain.

Dear Dean Wiebe,

in Listmail 2, this can be a feature.

Because now I have one listmail installation under domain1, but I want to use listmail under domain2, too.

But I use text emails, so remove links, and confirm links looks like this, also when I use listmail by domain2:

http://domani1.com/mail/rem.php?u=tb664da

But this would better:

http://domani2.com/mail/rem.php?u=tb664da

Listmail 2 could generate custom remove links, and this custom link will redirect the user to real remove link.

You could make your own custom remove links...

In your message "from domain2" put something like this, making sure !uid is a global message code of the type "Users Unique ID":

Code: [Select]

http://domain2.com/removeme.php?u=!uid
Then manually upload removeme.php, containing this code:

Code: [Select]

<?phpheader('Location: http://domain2.com/mail/rem.php?u='.$_GET['u']);?>

This will redirect the user with their ID.
