Hi there,
I’m trying to use RESTful routes with an application that has 2
possible URL roots (e.g):
www.example.com/yournamehere/
and
(for people who wish to use their own domain name for the app)
with the same application being run for both on a mongrel cluster
behind apache.
Ideally I wouldn’t have 2 seperate deployments, but currently I can’t
work out how else to create a routes file that works for both such
that I can use url_for throught my app. I have tried adding a
conditional to the routes file:
if request.env[‘SERVER_NAME’].include(“example.com”)
prefix = ‘/:artistname’
else
prefix = ‘’
end
and adding the “prefix” variable to the affected routes eg:
map.artist_cv prefix+‘/cv/:action’, :controller =>
‘cv_items’, :action => ‘index’
map.resources :artworks, :path_prefix => prefix
Unsurprisingly nothing has worked so far! I’m not even sure if it’s
possible to use a variable like that in a route and I can’t access
request.env either as it hasn’t been initialised yet.
Can anyone tell me if I’m totally barking up the wrong tree, and if
they have any better suggestions…
thanks
dorian
