  1. POHow to map a full domain to a subdomain-based Rails app account?
    text
    copied!<p>I'm developing a Rails app that by default sets up user accounts to a subdomain of their choosing. As an option, they will be able to map their own full domain to their account.</p> <p>So far this is how I have things set up. I am using <a href="http://github.com/mbleigh/subdomain-fu" rel="nofollow noreferrer">subdomain-fu</a> to power the routing:</p> <pre><code># routes.rb map.with_options :conditions =&gt; {:subdomain =&gt; true} do |app| app.resources # User's application routes are all mapped here end map.with_options :conditions =&gt; {:subdomain =&gt; false} do |www| www.resources # Public-facing sales website routes are mapped here end </code></pre> <p>In addition to that, I am using the <a href="http://wgibbs.github.com/2008/05/11/domain-mapping.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">method described here</a> to get the account being accessed, via subdomain or full domain:</p> <pre><code>before_filter :set_current_account def set_current_account if request.host.ends_with? current_domain # via subdomain @current_club = Club.find_by_subdomain(current_subdomain) else # via full domain @current_club = Club.find_by_mapped_domain(request.host) end end </code></pre> <p>I haven't got very far down the process of building this yet, but already I can see I am going to run into problems with routing. If <code>request.host</code> is some random.com domain then subdomain-fu is not going to route the appropriate routes?</p> <p>I'm assuming this isn't that unusual a problem, so can anyone share how they have tackled this problem, or how I would configure my routes to do what I need it to?</p>
