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

Sorry but I'm not really sure to understand what you want or need...
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. Say, I have a base page layout template for the inner sites like "http://localhost:xxxx/site1" which has many application related menu links on the top and left hand side of the page with center space for contents. All these links are of the format "/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:xxxx/site1" But, If I don't use virtual hosting and I expose "http://localhost:xxxx/" 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:xxxx/container1/.." instead of "http://localhost:xxxx/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:xxxx/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? Hope I clarified what I need. Please excuse me if my question sounds too novice. -- Joshua Immanuel HiPro IT Solutions Private Limited http://hipro.co.in

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 -- Joshua Immanuel HiPro IT Solutions Private Limited http://hipro.co.in
