During setup we have to fill in the website url. This is used to prefix all internal links.
But what if i have multiple domains that point to the same social network and i want to keep the domain in the addressbar?
For example: www.maindomain.com, www.aliasdomain.com, alias.domain.com
When i go to www.aliasdomain.com or alias.domain.com I still get to see www.maindomain.com, but would like to see www.aliasdomain.com or alias.domain.com in the address bar.
Any ideas?

2. You could try changing the config value for the site URL on the fly. It is loaded from the database, but you could detect it instead.
Changing $CONFIG->wwwroot on the fly, for example in my theme plugin? That seems do-able.

For reasons that I do not understand, the site URL is stored in both $CONFIG->wwwroot and $CONFIG->url. Also make sure that this is done in a function that runs very early in the boot process.
... there are even 3 of those and at least in 1.8 $CONFIG->www_root is populated with the URL from the session object whereas $CONFIG->wwwroot is populated from the URL stored with the site ... :-) which might be different in your case ...
I'll experiment with the given suggestions, although i think the 3 $CONFIG values should be streamlined.
Ok, i ended up with the following code, but it feels a bit hacky and not elggy.
in my start.php i first do a call to the function that does the magic, just before the theme_init call. i first did the check_view inside the theme_init, but that doesn't work.
my question is now: is there any point in the event system that my check_view should be in?
start.php:
check_view();
elgg_register_event_handler('init', 'system', 'theme_init');
function check_view() {
global $CONFIG;
$domainpart = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
$CONFIG->wwwroot = "http://" . $domainpart ."/";
$parsedUrl = parse_url($CONFIG->wwwroot);
$host = explode('.', $parsedUrl['host']);
$subdomain = $host[0];
if (in_array($subdomain, array('iframe','mobile','m'))) {
elgg_set_viewtype($subdomain);
elgg_register_viewtype_fallback('default')
}
}
...
