Hi! I've created a subsite patch for Zope 2.0.0a3. The usage is easy, just add a E=ZOPE_DROP_FOLDER:num, to the RewriteRule, where n is the number of ids to drop. So for example, the following RewriteRule is correct: <VH www.photoderm.at> ... RewriteRule ^/(.*) /home/httpd/htdocs/cgi/mtg/mtg.cgi/sites/photoderm.at/$1 [e=HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION:%1,E=ZOPE_DROP_FOLDER:2,t=application/x-httpd-cgi,l] ... </VH> This way, Zope drops 2 folders (/sites/photoderm.at) in the beginning. Something like this should probably be included with the standard distribution. This patch doesn't change a thing in the normal path processing, it does munge the REQUEST only when ZOPE_DROP_FOLDER is activated.
