I'm pretty new here, but if anybody had ideas on how to go about using subdomains for accounts within Rails 2.2. I had seen the subdomain-fu plugin, but it didn't look like it plays very well with 2.2. Anyone know of other plugins that might be useful?
The code to configure this is fairly trivial, try something like this in the controller(s) you need subdomain access.
before_filter :load_account def load_account @account = Account.find(:first, :conditions => ["slug = ?", request.subdomains.first]) raise ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound unless @account end
That's awesome. I put that code into my application.rb file and it seems to work great!
In addition, I am looking to a couple of other subdomains not attached to accounts (ie- admin.domain.com). I installed the request_routing plugin and it seems to work great. It gives me some good options within the routes.rb file that allow me to direct the root of the application to different controllers based on the subdomains. Like this:
map.root :controller => 'public_home', :action => 'index', :conditions => { :subdomain => '' } map.root :controller => 'public_home', :action => 'index', :conditions => { :subdomain => 'www' } map.root :controller => 'system', :action => 'index', :conditions => { :subdomain => 'admin' } map.root :controller => 'account_home', :action => 'index', :conditions => { :subdomain => /.+/ }
This seems to work great with Rails 2.2.
Hi,
Im looking to implement user based subdomains and catch-all routes into my app. Can subdomain-fu do this? I followed Ryan Bates' railscast on this but he does not go into dynamically added subdomains and routes. Can any of you point me to some resources for getting started on this? Thanks!
This was the plugin I used.
