Greetings.
I have successfully gotten the manager managing 3 different websites (by creating 3 site context and by a simple Context Switch plugin ->
<?php
switch ($modx->getOption('http_host')) {
case 'expotechnik-design.com':
$modx->switchContext('expotechnik-designcom');
break;
case 'www.expotechnik-design.com':
$modx->switchContext('expotechnik-designcom');
break;
case 'expotechnik-program.com':
$modx->switchContext('expotechnik-programcom');
break;
case 'www.expotechnik-program.com':
$modx->switchContext('expotechnik-programcom');
break;
case 'expotechnik-green.com':
$modx->switchContext('expotechnik-greencom');
break;
case 'www.expotechnik-green.com':
$modx->switchContext('expotechnik-greencom');
break;
default:
$modx->switchContext('expotechnik-designcom');
break;
}
My questions is how can I go about using friendly URLS with these multisites? Did some Htaccess work but to no avail. Also I made sure to give each context a friendly_urls setting to true as well as the entire site setting for friendlies to true
Tried some variations of the following in my .htaccess (without the comments of course)
#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .
#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^expotechnik-design\.com [NC]
#RewriteRule (.*) http://expotechnik-design.com/$1 [R=301,L]
#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .
#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^expotechnik-programs\.com [NC]
#RewriteRule (.*) http://expotechnik-programs.com/$1 [R=301,L]
#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .
#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^expotechnik-green\.com [NC]
#RewriteRule (.*) http://expotechnik-green.com/$1 [R=301,L]
I know the secret must be in mod_rewrite and something i’m doing in the .httaccess file.
Edit:
We solved this issue by editing the HTACCESS file like so -
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# The Friendly URLs part
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
The key was keeping the main domain rewrite commented out (it was forcing back to the original domain)
Then after giving each context it’s own settings (like start_page, Url, etc.) we set the main settings friendly_url on and the plugin above did the rest
