[symfony-users] filter to dynamically change site layout based on http host URL

[James]

Symfony 1.0.17

I have written a filter to change the site layout based on the URL.   
It works, mostly, but there are some issues, and I am wondering if  
maybe there's a better way to change to layout.

Here is my filter...

<?php

class domainWatchFilter extends sfFilter
{
   public function execute($filterChain)
   {
     // Execute this filter only once
     if ($this->isFirstCall())
     {
         // Get the name of the master site from the app.yml config file
         $masterURL =  
sfConfig::get('app_domainWatchFilter_masterUrl','');
                
                if($masterURL == $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'])
                {
                     define('MASTERSITE',true);
                }
                else
                {
                    // Set the constant MASTERSITE
                     define('MASTERSITE',false);

                    // Get the layout name from the database so we can  
show
                    $siteLayout = null;

                    if($siteLayout == null) { $siteLayout =  
"defaultcon"; }

                   // Now set the layout for the website.
                   $actionStack = $this->getContext()->getActionStack();
                   $actionStack->getFirstEntry()->getActionInstance()- 
 >setLayout($siteLayout);

                }

     }
     // Execute next filter
     $filterChain->execute();
   }
}

?>

I have 2 URLs  mysite.dev  and testsite.mysite.dev  mysite.dev is my  
MASTERSITE so when I go to this URL the default layout is used.  when  
I testsite.mysite.dev the defaultcon template shows.  This happens  
whenever I go to any module/action, so for the most part it's doing  
what I want.

I have a route  homepage  which points to module "main" and action  
"index"  inside this action I am checking to see if we are the  
MASTERSITE and forwarding to the proper module  either the homepage  
for the MASTERSITE or the homepage for everyother domains that points  
to the application.  The problem is $this->forward doesn't change to  
the proper template in the later case.

I had tried to dynamically set the homepage route, but that didn't  
work either.

Suggestions?

Thanks
James
