I am trying out 'Domain User' option for creating subdomains(personal site) for the user.What i really found cool was the options for doing it under Module behavior:
a.Do not create domains for users
b.Automatically create domains for new users
c.Ask users if they would like to create a domain

I choose c and its working alrite .and easily created a subdomain for user 'guru' as guru.mysite.com.
by signing in as user guru in his 'My account' which showed 'do you like to crreate a Personal website as guru.mysite.com ?'. Perfect.

Also after the subdomain was created the option c disappeard from his 'My account'
-For User with Change username privilege
I tried changing username guru to guru2.The username changed to guru2 while the subdomain url was still guru.mysite.com.So that too is wonderful.

Now.one thing i would like to know is
1. is it possible for the user to delete his subdomian and create a new one if he finds the one he created boring and

2.After the user cretes a subdomain can it be showed in his 'My account' as 'Your personal website is......'

3.Is it possible to allow users to type in a name for the subdomain which i s not their username?

-Thankyou

Answers.

1. Not currently. The subdomain is directly tied to the username.

2. It should appear there now, labeled 'Personal web site'

3. Not currently, but the module structure would probably support that.

Domain User module is not getting much attention, and I am not inclined to work on these features.

thank you for the answers!
"2. It should appear there now, labeled 'Personal web site"

You meant My account rite...i checked for that.It appears in Myaccount -Edit before creating the user domain,but disappears after that.Its neither in My account-View nor in Myaccount -Edit after creating domain name.

and i wonder why 'Domain User' is not getting lot of attention.Its a wonderful one i feel.I was just experimenting with it and now I think i might end up using it.

It should be appearing on the user view page, unless you are using a non-standard theme or profile system.

It looks like something has changed from D5 to D6.

Nice catch. There was a change to hook_user() in D6.

Apply this patch from the root 'domain' folder.
