Hi-

I have an shopping cart rails app.

I would like to be able to host multiple domain names within the same  
shopping cart application.

I would like to be able to detect the domain name, and then set a  
parameter that tells what logo to display for that domain name.

Does anyone know how this can be done?

Thanks,  
Clark

Have you looked at the doc for the request object?

Hello,  
As per your post i think you are looking for multi sites concept.  
In multi sites it uses same code base and different views as per domain.  
i think this plugin help you. [http://github.com/dasil003/rails-multisite](http://github.com/dasil003/rails-multisite)

Thanks,
