context settings in 2.3.1

Hi

Does anybody where abouts the context settings are in v2.3.1? I cant find them anywhere, and add ons that refer to settings ->context is not the correct place in the new version.

please advise.

Thanks

You just right click on the context name in the resource tree and click "edit context"

Hi

Thanks for your help

When contextrouter referrs to:

2. Make sure your contexts have http_host context settings set.
3. (optional) Assign http_host_aliases context settings where needed to alias other hosts.

What do I need to do to ensure that contectrouter is setup correctly?

Having never needed to use context router before, I couldn't be 100% sure. But for the item "Make sure your contexts have http_host context settings set.", my guess would be that when you go into edit context settings you need to add a new setting called "http_host" for each context you're setting up.

I've never needed to use http_host or http_host_aliases for individual contexts, but whenever I've used additional contexts before I have had to add "base_url" for contexts that are part of a single domain (e.g - if you're using contexts for multilingual sites), "site_start" (give it the page ID that's the homepage for the context), and "site_url" for the context.

Hi

Thanks for your reply.

The http_host_aliases from the contextrouter, allows you to use multiple domains using only 1 context. rather than setting up different contexts for different websites, the contextrouter allows me to use domain1.com and domain2.co.uk to point to the same location hence this is exactly what i need the modx site to do.

the only problem being is that the http_host doesnt seem to be dynamic, so Im relying on a bit of php code to get the HTTP_HOST using the global $_SERVER variable

If you're pointing more than one domain at the same place, would it not be easier/make more sense to park those domains on top of each other (if it's cPanel based hosting), or do a rewrite rule in .htaccess?

HI

Thanks for your reply. No, ive configured apache in Linux to do this.
