I'm building an app and I'm curious about the best way to go about adding a function. Basically, I want to give users a subdomain they can use as a redirect.
Currently, users will get a subfolder; aka company.com/username I also want to give them username.company.com I understand that I'll have to devise a way to update my dns records,but I also need for OpenBD to recognize the hostname as well. What's the best way of dynamically updating my OpenBD config to add the new hostnames to the hostheader list?Can I just set it up with a wildcard so I don't need to update anything? Next, how would I be able to dynamically point that username.company.com to a website that they declare? For subfolders (company.com/username), I just parse out the 'username', look it up in a db, and forward users to the url in the database. aka company.com/openBD could forward to groups.google.com/openbd This works because the subfolder doesn't actually exist, and when the 404 error is thrown, I run a script to check if the folder is in the database. However, with subdomains, they would just resolve to the site, not a specific folder, so I'm not sure how I could dynamically forward users to a URL (from a database) just based on subdomain alone. Thoughts? Basically, I want users to get 'username.company.com' and be able to point that to any url they want. -Jason -- online documentation: http://openbd.org/manual/ google+ hints/tips: https://plus.google.com/115990347459711259462 http://groups.google.com/group/openbd?hl=en
