Re: [Zope-dev] [BlueBream] handling URLs for multiple sites in single bluebream instance
Hello all,

Ok, let me give an use-case. Say, I have a base page layout template

/container1/ When I use virtual hosting to '/site1' I have no
problem, all the links will be a valid one, as it will be prefixed by
http://localhost:/site1;
But, If I don't use virtual hosting and I expose
http://localhost:/; URL to the user to create new sites. The
links in base page layout template for the inner sites will be an
invalid one as it will be pointing to
http://localhost:/container1/..; instead
of http://localhost:/site1/container1/..;
I am trying to figure out how to prefix the links in the base page
layout template with site names based on which site they belong. So
that the links in the base page layout template of 'site1' would be of
the format '/site1/container1/.. and the links in base page layout
template of 'site2' would be of the format '/site2/container1/.. etc.
I guess the solution to this (without virtual hosting) would be: when
I render the base page layout template for
http://localhost:/site1; get the 'site1' part from the request
URL and prefix all the related menu links with them. Is there any
other better solution?
But, If I use this base page layout template as a macro (just to fill
its center content with an add form say) still the menu links has to
be a valid one. How to handle this?
I used the following code in the base page layout template to get the
site name from the URL
body tal:define=
rootURL request/getApplicationURL;
fullURL request/getURL;
effURL python: fullURL[len(rootURL)+1:].split('/');
span tal:condition=python: len(effURL) 1
span tal:define=global urlPrefix python: effURL[0]
tal:replace=nothing/
/span
span tal:condition=python: len(effURL) = 1
span tal:define=global urlPrefix python: ''
tal:replace=nothing/
/span
...
/body
I prefix all my menu links with the 'urlPrefix' variable. I guess this
is not the best solution but it solves my problem.
Thanks

Re: [Zope-dev] [BlueBream] handling URLs for multiple sites in single bluebream instance
Hello Thierry, Thanks for the reply. On Fri, 2011-06-17 at 14:31 +0200, Thierry Florac wrote: I guess you just want to do virtual hosting inside a single BlueBream application server Ok. That is one way to say. What if I want to add new sites dynamically from the web frontend? For the virtual hosting, I don't have to care about the URL prefix, I just treat my URLs as say, /container1/object1/@@add.html instead of /site1/container1/object1/@@add.html. But say, I have a view page for http://localhost:/; (i.e. for zope.site.interfaces.IRootFolder) which has links to create new sites. And say, I create necessary application specific objects under them when the new site is added to the root. How to dynamically handle the URLs for this kind of situation? -- Joshua Immanuel HiPro IT Solutions Private Limited http://hipro.co.in signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ Zope-Dev maillist - Zope-Dev@zope.org https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )

The physical path of your folder inside your ZODB is '/site1/container1/...' and to access such a site you only have two ways to do it : - address it directly in the URL - or use virtual hosting to hide '/site1' from the URL Ok, let me give an use-case.

I'll try out and get back.
