1. Each board will exist in it's own subdirectory, ~/forum1/ and ~/forum2/.

2. The YAF web.config settings will all be in the website's root web.config EXCEPT for the appsetting keys. Each forum subdirectory will contain it's own web.config and app.config file.

3. Each forum's web.config will look similar to this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
  <appSettings configSource="app.config"/>
</configuration>

5. Each forum subdirectory will contain all the folders/files necessary for YAF (controls, pages, resources, etc) except for BIN and APP_CODE, which will exist in the root of the website.

When I post fp:mddubs in a topic, I'm leaving my footprint there so I can track it once I get into coding/supporting. (Yes I stole this off Mek 🙂, who stole this off Ederon 🙂 )

It allows you seperate the Images,Uploads,Avatars etc per board.. it does this by programatically appending the folder with the BoardID. The folders have to be created manually first though for each board.

"It's a case of RTFM.. the only problem being we don't have a manual!"

I have a website that will be creating new boards dynamically. One day, it could go up to a million boards for example. I would rather do this programtically instead of a new folder for each board... So the question remains, did this solution ever get run to ground?

http://www.dilliduduk.com  board id :1

http://yaf.dilliduduk.com  board id :3

on board 3, there is no users and my admin account hasn't admin permissions. Can you help me? i attached my app.config file.

I am in process of creating Multiple Boards I have followed the instructions as per the topic.

1) This topic specifies to remove BaseUrl Key. I could not find one in app.config, but a BaseUrlMask with empty value is found. I have not removed it.

http://forums.site.com/hotline , what am I supposed to do for doing this.

In my second forum, there are no users and my admin account hasn't admin permissions. I need to specify mail id separately for second board (send mail from forum).

Thanks in Advance.

If you want more than 1 board, using the same membership system, with a single install:

1. Each board will exist in it's own subdirectory, ~/forum1/ and ~/forum2/.

2. The YAF web.config settings will all be in the website's root web.config EXCEPT for the appsetting keys. Each forum subdirectory will contain it's own web.config and app.config file.

3. Each forum's web.config will look similar to this:

4. Each forum's app.config will set it's own BoardID, the Root key to the forum path (~/forum1 or ~/forum2), and will comment out the BaseUrl key.

5. Each forum subdirectory will contain all the folders/files necessary for YAF (controls, pages, resources, etc) except for BIN and APP_CODE, which will exist in the root of the website.

As I wrote before you need to set the board id via the forum control. And when you put only the aspx page with the forum control in a sub folder, and nothing else then it will work.

I tested this solution and it works as expected!
