I've been desperately trying to figure out a good method to use
dynamic subdomains and I am so close!
Here is what I have going on:
1) My app_controller checks the subdomain against the database and
makes sure it's valid. If not, it redirect - works great!
2) I put the following hack inside routes.php:
$subdomain = substr( env("HTTP_HOST"), 0, strpos(env("HTTP_HOST"),
".") );
if(strlen($subdomain) > 0 && $subdomain != "www")
{
Router::connect('/:action/*',
array('controller'=>'contests', 'action'=>'index'));
}
So basically, if the subdomain isn't www (and it's valid per
app_controller), it uses the contests controller. So,
http://validsubdomain.domain.com/upload is contests/upload - works
great!
3) The ONLY piece left is to make http://validsubdomain.domain.com
(with no action) default to 'index' or 'default' action.
I tried this:
$subdomain = substr( env("HTTP_HOST"), 0, strpos(env("HTTP_HOST"),
".") );
if(strlen($subdomain) > 0 && $subdomain != "www")
{
Router::connect('/*',
array('controller'=>'contests', 'action'=>'index'));
Router::connect('/:action/*',
array('controller'=>'contests', 'action'=>'index'));
}
And basically every variable of that (/ /* , action = index, default,
etc.) and it just loads the pages controller.
To recap, currently:
http://validsubdomain.domain.com = pages/display
http://validsubdomain.domain.com/upload = contests/upload
Anyone who tells me how to get http://validsubdomain.domain.com to go
to contests/default gets a big cookie!!!!!!
