Public folder simple question

rubyonrails-talk

Hi to all,

I've a simple question:

does it possible to change the public folder address based on database value into application controller ?

This because I must handle a multidomain rails application and I must separate the public folders for each different domain...

Thanks in advance...

Hello Gianluca

I would think that each sub domain would have it's own directory? Does this thread help? http://groups.google.ca/group/rubyonrails-talk/browse_frm/thread/d7e87af0e6c1b9b5/4dc0f841ada9058b?lnk=gst&q=configure+public+directory#4dc0f841ada9058b

Hi Dave,

thanks for your reply,

I read the thread but I don’t understand how to solve the problem.

I have only one rails app that serves up multiple domains (eg. , and so on, all point to the same rails app) and every time I put a request on static resource (images/stylesheets/etc) the rails app must handle the resource under different folder (for security reasons, every single domain administrator can handle its own static resources…). One possible solution is to use config.controller.asset_host but seems that it does’nt work for me because I know the called domain name only into application controller using request.domain… Can you help me ?

Sorry Gianluca, it's an area that I don't know enough about. I'm just starting to play with setting up multiple domains into a single rails app, so I need to figure it out. Please let me know if you've had any success. You can email me if you like at dfdumaresq at gmail dot com.
