wp 30 to wpmu - wild card domain - suggestion

[msolution]

im new to wordpress hacking, but i did hit the forums with this.

we could pick up the last 'if' statement from:

/wp-admin/includes/schema.php
function populate_network()

the last if :

if ( $subdomain_install ) 
{
...
...
}

and paste it to:
/wp-admin/network.php
inside function allow_subdomain_install()

the problem of a last minute Error out would be solved.

putting it there, and showing a warning in the 1st step itself would be warning enough for the user to go back and get things done right/ check on things again wrt wild carded domain.

again, i am new to wordpress, please do correct me if im wrong

Warm Regards,
M.

Since 3.0 was released I've encountered quite a few people who have set up subdomain installs on hosts where wildcard subdomains were not supported.

To get this to work they had to install as a folder install, edit wp-config.php and change the configuration to subdomains. Each added subdomain is set up as a domain alias in their web server config.

In closed networks (where registration is closed) there isn't a compelling reason to check for wildcard subdomains on network setup.
