i’m building multiple sites with multiple languages, for each site variation i use one context .. i’m using following on handle request plugin:
<?php
$pieces = explode('/', trim($_REQUEST[$modx->getOption('request_param_alias', null, 'q')], '/'), 2);
if (count($pieces) > 0) {
switch ($pieces[0]) {
case 'it':
if (isset($pieces[1])) {
$_REQUEST[$modx->getOption('request_param_alias', null, 'q')] = $pieces[1];
} else {
$_REQUEST[$modx->getOption('request_param_alias', null, 'q')] = '';
}
switch ($modx->getOption('http_host')) {
case 'www.mydomain3.com': $modx->switchContext('GHK-Italian'); break;
}
$modx->setOption('cultureKey', 'it');
break;
default: // Default
switch ($_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]) {
case 'www.mydomain1.com':
$modx->switchContext('MM-English');
$modx->setOption('http_host', 'www.mydomain1.com');
$modx->setOption('site_url', 'http://www.mydomain1.com/');
break;
case 'www.mydomain2.com':
$modx->switchContext('MM-English');
$modx->setOption('http_host', 'www.mydomain2.com');
$modx->setOption('site_url', 'http://www.mydomain2.com/');
break;
case 'www.mydomain3.com': $modx->switchContext('GHK-English'); break;
case 'www.mydomain4.com': $modx->switchContext('GCM-English'); break;
case 'www.mydomain5.comm': $modx->switchContext('ABH-English'); break;
default: $modx->switchContext('ABH-English'); break;
}
$modx->setOption('cultureKey', 'en');
break;
}
}?
first i had few domains in eng lang .. each domain pointed to one context .. all worked fine now i have two problems
1. domain1 and domain2 .. both need to show the same context (MM-English) .. anyway .. they do, but the link are not working properly ..on domain2 all links points to domain1. In context settings i defined base_url, site_url, ... but is for one domain only .. i need different option for seccond domain
... i tryed to use $modx->setOption to change base url and site url but no success ..i could create a snippet to get right url but i used all over the site [[++site_url]] so i want to change that if it’s possible ??
2. seccond problem is with multilanguage .. www.mydomain3.com shows english site .. www.mydomain3.com/it/ must show italian site ... well it works fine .. but path to css files and other elements is corupted by /it/ ... ok i could use a snippet with output like $output = ’http://’.$_SERVER[HTTP_HOST].’/’; .... what is the proper way to handle this?
i had similar problems with another site because of two domains pointed at one context... the cache was created for domain i entered first ... on seccond domain all internal links pointed to first domain .. if i cleared the cache and went to seccond domain .. all internal links on first domain pointed to seccond one ... cache mess ..
i know that two domains for one page is not good for SEO but this doesn’t matter in my case
