I did this site with multiple language support using two different
branches. I got the following site layout:
Home
- Language check (dmInclude)
- Swedish
- Home (navalias swehome)
Home (dmHtml)
- English
- Home (navalias enghome)
Home (dmHtml)
The language check includes...
<cfparam name="URL.lang" default="">
<cfif URL.lang EQ "swedish">
<cfset SESSION.navid.home = APPLICATION.navid.swehome>
<cflocation url="/index.cfm?objectid=#SESSION.navid.home#"
addtoken="no">
<cfelseif URL.lang EQ "english">
<cfset SESSION.navid.home = APPLICATION.navid.enghome>
<cflocation url="/index.cfm?objectid=#SESSION.navid.home#"
addtoken="no">
<cfelseif isdefined('SESSION.navid.home') NEQ "">
<!--- Is a language already selected? --->
<cflocation url="/index.cfm?objectid=#SESSION.navid.home#"
addtoken="no">
<cfelse>
<!--- Default to English --->
<cfset SESSION.navid.home = APPLICATION.navid.enghome>
<cflocation url="/index.cfm?objectid=#SESSION.navid.home#"
addtoken="no">
</cfif>
If any reference is done to application.navid.home then the language
check script would just be executed and redirecting you to the right
place again. The above should be easily rewritten to match your needs.
Don't forget to edit the apps.cfm in your farcry dir so that both
domains points to the same farcry application.
<cfscript>
stApps = structNew();
stApps['www.subsite1.mydomain.com'] = 'yourapp';
stApps['www.subsite2.mydomain.com'] = 'yourapp';
</cfscript>

Hi,
Just throwing a question out there regarding best
practice/approach in farcry for this particular issue:
Farcry has an application variable called application.navid.home, which
points to the main home page. Is it possible to have one farcry sites on
two separate sub domain?
E.g. www.subsite1.mydomain.com
E.g. www.subsite2.mydomain.com
Suggested Logic:
When a user enters either subsite1 or subsite2, cf code looks at the
cgi.http_host variable to determine which subdomain the user is looking
at, this changes the navigation structure to another navigation point on
the root structure. E.g.
Root.home <-- www.subsite1.mydomain.com
Root.home_2 <-- www.subsite2.mydomain.com
How would you do this in farcry? I have noticed that the farcry_core has
reference to the application.navid.home, which makes it difficult to be
able to switch the home navid reference based on which subdomain the
user is browsing.
Your help, tips and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Theo
