Subdomains question

Hello,

I have followed

http://www.robbyonrails.com/articles/2009/01/11/subdomain-accounts-with-ruby-on-rails-explained
and http://www.37signals.com/svn/posts/1512-how-to-do-basecamp-style-subdomains-in-rails

posts on working with subdomains (without the use of subomain-fu and
other plugins). In those examples a user only can log into his/her
account through his/her own subdomain.

I wonder is there a way to log into one's account (subdomain) from the
domain.

Example:

Logging from www.foo.com/session/new,

should redirect me to,

elioncho.foo.com

Any ideas? Thanks,

Hi there,

You could just authenticate off of the Person/User model (whatever you
name that) without scoping it to the account. Then just redirect_to
account_path(@user.account) or something along those lines.

Good luck!

Cheers,
Robby
