if we wanted to install phpfox on 1 domain and also 5 sub domains and insert all sub domain data to main domain ?

seems like it would be easier to just do it with User Groups and Pages. Set a User Group and a Page for each fish type. Set so no group can post in the main feed (only on their chosen group Page) Admin can make announcements or whatever on main feed. At registration, have a Subscription package where each fish type is a package selection...once they join that group, they can join that groups Page

Hi Jonathan,

Thanks for your reply .

My only concern is blog posts videos events . They will be mixed all together on.main domain  .we wanted to have it kind of like a separate page. So only bass fish would be in one and another fish type would be in another. So when you click on videos. It would be all types of bass fishing videos. Categories to be about bass fish. And another fish type would be videos boog post with categories about different fish categories. Etc .unless we can do bass fish .Categories - sub categories. Then catfish categories - sub categories .then it might work. 

I would need to learn more on how to set subscription to allow user to be part of that group. And how they would join and block tye main page from them to.post. This does sound alot easier. Just unsure how to do that. Thanks if you can give me a little more.info as to what settings I would need to set .unless it's like writing a book. I can just dontrial and erorr and see f I can figure it out. Thanks so much for your idea. 

Any other thoughts by devs or someone else .Would love some feedback on this .

Thanks again Jonathon . You are always very helpful .I do appreciate you .:)

The way you mentioned would be tricky and not sure if this would work..but you would have to set a separate database for each subdomain during each ones setup...then go into the setting file and change it to point to the main domains database...would need to do this before any members joined or their info would be on the subs database..

You would need a license for each subdomain, and you would increase your effort and cost by three.  Jonathan idea is the way to go.  Set it up as private groups which are like have three different sites since you see nothing unless your part of the group.  I am pretty sure the videos you did in the group would be viewed only by the group.  This way you could also encourage members to join different groups as well.  Plus it would be easier to add content (such as blogs) to only one site than multiples.  I love fishing, and although my primary target is Bass, if I saw a blog on Pike or Musky I would probably read it because it brings value to me.  Great idea, good luck!

just disable the video, blog, forum, etc menus from the main menu ..that way members would have to do those from within the Groups Page..by doing groups like that, a member should be able to join any or all of the other groups if they wanted to.

Hi you all,

Can we use unlimited sub-domains with Phpfox license ? 

No.  You are allowed one install (whether is it a domain or subdomain but not both)  you are also allowed a single install for a development site.  See below for their policy on development.

really confusing phpfox and younet co says otherwise.

I think the way YouNetCo explained it is legal since you are only using one database and one install for your main site (besides the development site).  The database is holding only one set of data which is easier to control and upgrade.  The difference is that the subdomain is just a pointer (like call forwarding for a telephone).  Then the code in the main site will check the IP address of the user or even better than that use the name of the subdomain you're coming from, and that will determine whether the user sees everything in the specific language for that domain.  It is a genius concept, and I give thumbs up for YouNetco thinking outside the box.
