Hi,
I'm having two unrelated sites
MatchOrder=host HostMatchType=map HostMatchMapItems[]=example.com;firstsite HostMatchMapItems[]=another.com;secondsite
They are multi-lingual and I wanted to do that by uri :
MatchOrder=uri URIMatchType=element URIMatchElement=1 URIMatchRegexp=^/([^/]+)/ URIMatchRegexpItem=1 AvailableSiteAccessList[]=en AvailableSiteAccessList[]=es
Is this a way to mix the host and uri access and achieve what I want :
example.com/en -> firstsite_en (a siteaccess) example.com/es -> firstsite_es another.com/en -> secondsite_enanother.com/es -> secondsite_es
Do you have a way to mix on a single install several sites having several languages ?

We have a couple of sites, all running on the same installation, one of which has what you want. I'd assume it'd be possible to make an English siteaccess to one of the other urls as well, but it's not something that we need. The guy here who did it is away for a week, but here's our override/site.ini:
AvailableSiteAccessList[]=site1 AvailableSiteAccessList[]=site1_en AvailableSiteAccessList[]=site2 AvailableSiteAccessList[]=site3 AvailableSiteAccessList[]=site4 MatchOrder=host;uri HostMatchMapItems[]=admin.site.se;admin HostMatchMapItems[]=www.site2.se;site2 HostMatchMapItems[]=www.site3.se;site3 HostMatchMapItems[]=www.site4.se;site4
Bad thing about this is: site1 becomes www.site1.se/index.php/site1, just like the English becomes www.site1.se/index.php/site1_en. We'd prefer not having to use /site1 for the non-English site, but you can't get everything. :)
I would think the magic lies in this row:
MatchOrder=host;uri
Good luck!
