[DUG] Multi client website

Fair enough, I guess I’ll be stopping to spruik the benefits of ASP.Net MVC then.

Circling back to your original questions, is the jumping around sub/top domain really needed? .. or are you just looking for a way to display content from the main-domain inside your clients subdomain?

If all you want is to display global common pages within your clients pages then all this talk about sessions and cookies maybe isn’t really needed .. the solution might be as easy as just having some code such as array_shift((explode(".",$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'])));  to figure out the current requested subdomain URL and depending on that you then can serve the correct content (clients pictures/css/data/custompages/etc) … all handled from within your main domain ?!

Hi guys

 

Sorry for the delay getting back to you.

 

I'm writing this in PHP5.

 

The suggestion using sessions may be a problem when a user is on a page, goes away for a relatively long time, the session times out and a page refresh will not work correctly.

 

Any suggestions are very welcome.

 

Thanks

John

Hi John,

 

You really need to tell us which operating system you plan to use and which programming language you plan to write.

 

There is no need to use cookie if you use apache.

 

Here is a url for your reading.

Hi all

 

I have a website what will be available to the public but specific for more than one clients. The frame work of the website will be the same for each client but their images and CSS file will be different (making it look differently).

The plan is to have a sub-domain for each client from where it will jump to the "common" pages on the main domain. The index file on each sub.domain identifies the client and therefore define the directory path to use for the images and the CSS file.

I was thinking of doing this with cookies for the paths to be used in the main program, but I'm not sure it would be a good plan and if that will work properly (setting a cookie from within a sub.domain to be used in the main domain).

 

Any ideas or suggestions of how to do this?

 

Thanks a lot in advance

John C
