nice work... this would do the job. I'm guessing you used the cookie so
that the site wold persist accross requests even if CGI.path_info
changed... I bet you could use a session variable here too.
Hmmm.... I wonder if this approach could lead to a "change-site"
drop-down in the admin? (which I think Farcry kinda needs, however
keeping the user authenticated is the problem)

I have done this. By modifying the apps.cfm and setting up a IIS
Virtual
Directory for each site admin.
I have had this running for a few months now on my development machine.
Everything appears to work 100%. No guarantees offered.
Method:
1. Set an extra IIS virtual directory pointing to the farcry_core/admin
directory for each app. I set them up as follows
"appname" points to appname/www
"appname_admin" points to farcry_core/admin
When you want to go to admin area http://localhost/appname_admin/
When you want to view site http://localhost/appname/
2. Mod the apps.cfm as follows.
<cfif Trim(GetToken(cgi.PATH_INFO,1,"/")) neq "farcry">
<cfcookie name="farcryCallPath"
value="#Trim(GetToken(cgi.PATH_INFO,1,"/"))#">
</cfif>
<cfswitch expression="#cookie.farcryCallPath#">
<cfcase value="base_admin">
<cfscript>
stApps = structNew();
stApps['localhost'] = 'base';
</cfscript>
<cfcase value="haresfoot_admin">
<cfscript>
stApps = structNew();
stApps['localhost'] = 'haresfoot';
</cfscript>
</cfcase>
<cfcase value="issuefm_admin">
<cfscript>
stApps = structNew();
stApps['localhost'] = 'issuefm';
</cfscript>
</cfcase>
<cfdefaultcase>
<cfscript>
stApps = structNew();
stApps['localhost'] = 'mxdesign';
</cfscript>
</cfdefaultcase>
</cfswitch>
I cant remember why i used cfcookie above, it took a lot of
experimentation to get this to work and when i did i was so relieved
that i just stopped thinking about it and started using it.
hth,
Chris.
