Create Subdomain

Revision as of 23:34, 5 February 2009 by TimSchweizer (talk | contribs)

Currently subdomains (e.g. xyz.com/wxyz or xyz.uvw.com, etc.) are not automatically created by the AboutUs bot and must be added manually.

You have three options.

  1. SubDomain Form.
    Use this button and fill in a form to create a New SubDomain Page.
    Image:Button newsubdomain.png rect 0 0 138 64 click here to create a new SubDomain page desc none
  2. SubDomain template.
    Add the name in the URL listing of your browser. So that it reads:
    http://www.aboutus.org/xyz.uvw.com
    or
    http://www.aboutus.org/xyz.com/wxyz
    (Note: add the name in your web browser, not the AboutUs Find! box.)
    This will give you new page with no text, click the "edit this page link". Once you're in the edit window, copy in the following:
    {{subst:Subdomain}}
    and hit save. Edit the resulting page, just like any other wiki page on AboutUs. Please note: while the "thumbnail" technology works on top-level domains like "SnapNames.com", sometimes it doesn't work for subdomains. If it doesn't, you can always remove it in the "Edit" mode near the top of the page, between the <thumbnail> and </thumbnail> tags.
  3. SubDomainTestBox template
    Just like the second option, but instead of Template:tl, add {{SubDomainTestBox|<parentcategory.tld>}} to generate the box below.
    go to the main site

    Subdomain go to this subdomain
    http://Create_Subdomain
    {{{map}}} Subdomain information:
