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:
so, as in this example, I’ve created lib/personalized_domain.rb
# 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
and in my routes I have this:
# config/routes
constraints(PersonalizedDomain) do
namespace :personalized, :path => '/' do
root :to => "projects#show"
resource :project
end
end
root :to => "home#index"
in my model I have:
# 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
as per the example, my base controller:
# 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
One thing I noticed, in PersonalizedDomain, was that if I put a debug statement in the self.matches? method as such:
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
the debug statement never get’s executed.
Thanks for any help
