is highrisehq.com 2 separate rails apps or just one?
From poking around, it seems like the main signup site is separate
from client site, like xyz.highrisehq.com. If so, what's the reason for 2 separate apps?
It’s easier to separate functionality that way.
For instance with Cashboard I run 2 separate apps off the same database.
http://www.getcashboard.com …and the actual app @ http://*.cashboardapp.com
I wouldn’t be surprised if the signals are doing the same thing.
There’s only one instance where I link from one app to the other.
After a signup on www.getcashboard.com, the user is automatically redirected to their application specific URL and prompted to login.
The Account model stores this url, so redirecting is brain-dead.
Sorry I couldn’t be more of a help…
Just curious how are you doing controller routing. i.e. say app1.xyz.com => has an action which goes to app2.xyz.com? What I would like to know is there any elegant DRY way of doing redirect_to back and forth from completely different app but under same domain?
if client1.xyz.com client2.xyz.com are on the same rails app, then you can add ":host" option to your redirect_to, like redirect_to :controller => "forum", :action => "show", :host => "client3.xyz.com"
