Submodule as Subdomain

Yii 1.1 General Discussion
1

Hi there,

I am currently developing an MultiStore E-commerce project. I have a module Stores, and its submodules are the store names. So for example, I want to visit the store Sample1, in my URL I will have http://mysampleproject.com/stores/sample1, Sample2 will be http://mysampleproject/stores/sample2, and so on.

What should I do so that each stores can be accessed as a subdomain, such as http://sample1.mysampleproject.com? Can this be done via urlManager? Or is there a better way to handle my stores?

Hi there,

You may want to use "Parameterizing Hostnames" and see if that works for you

Have the very same thing :)

In config I set:


'onBeginRequest' => array('DomainManager', 'route'),

where that class adds url rules according to domains:


/**

 * Manage domains and subdomains

 */

class DomainManager

{

	public static function route()

	{

		//check if domain is valid/active and set it to Yii::app()->params['store_domain'] + some other things like preloaded store AR

		...

		//add url rules with domain names

		$urls = array(

			// your main site domain from config

			'http://' . Yii::app()->params['root_domain'] . '/<controller:\w+>/<id:\d+>'=>'root/<controller>/view',

			// store domain/subdomain

			'http://' . Yii::app()->params['store_domain'] . '/<controller:\w+>/<id:\d+>'=>'shop/<controller>/view',

			// all other rules

			...

		);


		Yii::app()->getUrlManager()->addRules($urls);

	}

}

This is a bit simplified but I hope you get the concept.

Thanks to all your answers. All the suggested solutions refers to one thing: Parameterizing Hostnames. I was on that page yesterday and I’m positive that I’ve read the whole page…not sure how I missed that one. Anyway, thanks again. +1 to you all.
