Question

I installed OpenScholar in my domain:

http://scholar.web

Basically, when someone register for an account, his site URL is http://scholar.web/user, and his content will be at http://scholar.web/user/contents

I’ve been searching a way so that the URL is converted into: http://user.scholar.web/content for displaying his content via virtual subdomain (htaccess maybe)

Anyone can provide some solutions or guidance?
thanks

First of all, you’ll need to change the DNS entry on the domain so that *.scholar.web points to your site.
Afterwards, (If you’re using Apache) change the Apache vhost to accept *.scholar.web requests.
You can then use htaccess and/or PHP to do what you like with the URL formatting.

I used to have a domain called something along the lines of “iscool.com”.
This is the method I used so I could use pseudo subdomains like “ben.iscool.com” and it would display content accordingly.
