How can I switch theme depending subdomains ?
  • BriceBrice
    Hi FUELers ! I need your help.
    Before beginning, sorry for my english, I'm a fuel french developer ;)

    I've built a tree structure page with the nestedset Model.

    Example :
    • Fruits
      • Orange
      • Cherry
      • etc....
    • Vegetables
    • Fish
    I have :
    - A Main Domain : food.com with a main menu : Fruits | Vegetables | Fish

    I want
    - A Subdomain : fruits.food.com with a main menu : Orange | Cherry | etc...


    How can I make this :
    food.com/fruits/orange -> fruits.food.com (a child website with the same structure but with a different Tree Root Node)

    Where must i check the subdomain to switch theme and change my tree node route?

    - In my Public_Controller with a router method
    - Extend the Core Request Class?

    Pas de problème, Brice. ;-)

    If it is only a switch of active theme, you can do that in the theme.php config file. After all, it's just a php file like any other.

    It could be something simple like:

    switch (\Input::server('host'))
    {
        case "food.com":
            $theme = 'main';
            break;
        case "fruits.food.com":
            $theme = 'fruits';
            break;
        default:
            $theme = 'default';
    }

    return array(
        'active' => $theme,
    );

    Or if you want it more clean, create a static helper class for it, and do:

    return array(
        'active' => \Themehelper::detect(),
    );

    and abstract the detection code away from the config file.
