CodeIgniter's Subdomain Support - El Forum - 11-06-2009 [eluser]Jamie Rumbelow[/eluser] I'm interested in hearing your experiences with regards to subdomain support for CodeIgniter applications. Has anyone extended the routing mechanism to allow for subdomains... for instance using a different database for each different subdomain? I'll start to play around with the code and see what I can do with this but I was interested in what the community's done and some of the experiences and problems you've had with implementing a subdomain-based system.

Jamie[/quote] I tried once and I don't do this anymore. Too much pain for almost nothing. Code: $config['base_url'] = 'DYNAMIC' //<-- here's the pain Now we use a sub directory. And the controllers are separeted in sub directories too! But if you'll use CI only in the subdomains, no problems. CodeIgniter's Subdomain Support - El Forum - 11-07-2009 [eluser]Colin Williams[/eluser] For starters, I never include a domain in my base_url setting. I don't know why anyone would. Code: $config['base_url'] = '/'; And for database configuration, I like to name the database groups by either the server IP or hostname. Then you can set $active_group to something like $_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR'] or $_SERVER['HOSTNAME'], so it's dynamic in that way.

Why haven't I thought of that![/quote] Actually, a solution I've come up with - not quite as simple as Colin's, but it works - actually guesses the URL correctly based on server variables. This means you can link with URLs, but it's clever enough to guess it and change it dynamically. [url="http://haughin.com"]Haughin[/url] helped me with this one, so props to him. Code: $url = ((isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && $_SERVER['HTTPS'] == "on") ? "https" : "http"); I've tested it on a few servers and it hasn't failed for me yet... try it out and let me know if it works for you. Jamie CodeIgniter's Subdomain Support - El Forum - 11-08-2009 [eluser]moodh[/eluser] I use a standard installation and get subdomains mapped to various controllers without a problem at all: Index.php example: Code: <?php Routes.php example: Code: <?php Edit: Of course this needs a .htaccess that redirects everything, subdomains or not to the root url without changing it. Edit2: and you dont need to use the constant SUBDOMAIN, another look at $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']; still contains the subdomain for usage in your code =) |
