Hello, I'm trying to build an app (mysuperapp.com) that allows users to create an account in which a default subdomain (IE: joeshmoe.mysuperapp.com) will be created as their homepage. In their profile settings, I also want to give them the ability to add their own domain name so their homepage now can be joeshmoe.com. I know this is possible in rails w/ plugins like subdomainfu and w/out plugins in rails3. I've searched countless websites on the subject and I'm attempting to build an app based on this example:
http://glac-ialis.postmodo.com/ (take out the hypen if you want to go to this link - caused a spam alert)
so, as in this example, I've created lib/personalized_domain.rb
[code] # lib/personalized_domain.rb class PersonalizedDomain def self.matches?(request) case request.host when 'www.#{APP_CONFIG[:domain]}', '#{APP_CONFIG[:domain]}', nil false else true end end end [/code]
and in my routes I have this:
[code] # config/routes constraints(PersonalizedDomain) do namespace :personalized, :path => '/' do root :to => "projects#show" resource :project end end
root :to => "home#index" [/code]
in my model I have:
[code] # app/models/project.rb before_validation :cache_domain
validates_uniqueness_of :subdomain, :cached_domain validates_uniqueness_of :cname_alias, :allow_blank => true validates_presence_of :subdomain, :cached_domain validates_exclusion_of :subdomain, :in => %w(admin blog), :message => "is taken"
def cache_domain self.cached_domain = if self.cname_alias.blank? "#{self.subdomain}.#{APP_CONFIG[:domain]}" else "#{self.cname_alias}" end end [/code]
as per the example, my base controller: [code] # app/controllers/personalized/base_controller.rb class Personalized::BaseController < ApplicationController before_filter :get_project
protected def get_project @project = Project.first(:conditions => { :cached_domain => request.host }) end end [/code]
One thing I noticed, in PersonalizedDomain, was that if I put a debug statement in the self.matches? method as such:
[code] class PersonalizedDomain def self.matches?(request) Rails.logger.info("****(PersonalizedDomain::self.matches?)-->>APP_CONFIG[:domain]: #{APP_CONFIG[:domain]}") case request.host when 'www.#{APP_CONFIG[:domain]}', '#{APP_CONFIG[:domain]}', nil false else true end end end [/code]
the debug statement never get's executed.
Thanks for any help
