Hi all,

I have two websites that share the same users and media folders but that have different content.

What I did was to create to siteaccess (siteA and siteB) and two main folders under content siteA and SiteB.

All the content for the site a is under the siteA folder, same goes for site b.

To avoid having /sitea/thepage, I put into the siteA site.ini.append:

[SiteAccessSettings]
PathPrefix=siteA

Works great for all the content, but I can't access anymore the content into the media and users folder !

I guess that's because the PathPrefix also applies to /media (and it tries to look at /siteA/media). I've tried to cheat and add a location for the media folder and put it under siteA and SiteB, but it doesn't work (error message).

Is there a way to exclude media and users from the PathPrefix ? Any idea to solve it ?

Thanks in advance,

X+

Hi,

As I understand it in the meantime, there are two beginner-ways:

1. with pathprefix: niceurls for content, system-urls ( content/view/...) for media and user

2. without pathprefix: niceurls everywhere, but one more level in the url...

You could give your first-level folders a very short name, "a" for example, ...
or reorganize the folder-structure (like I did)

Or you have to do some scripting...
;-))

Hi,

That's what I did: I overrided a few classes display in the sections user and media. Now, instead of using node.nice_url it uses content/view/full/{$node.node_id}

That's not very elegant, but it works.

Hi Xavier,

I've been playing around with PathPrefix myself latly, and found out that my code for producing bradcrumb and title does not take this into account.

{foreach $module_result.path as $pathindex => $item}
	{if gt($pathindex, 1)}
    {if $item.url}
        {if is_set($item.url_alias)}
            <a href={$item.url_alias|ezurl}>{$item.text|wash}</a> /
        {else}
            <a href={$item.url|ezurl}>{$item.text|wash}</a> /
        {/if}
    {else}
		{if gt($pathindex, 2)}
	        {$item.text|wash}
		{/if}
    {/if}
	{/if}
{/foreach}

Have you encountered the same thing ?

@André R.

What version of ez do you use ?

I have to admit I never use ezurl anymore, as all my sites are with mod_rewrite.

I simply do href="/{$node.url_alias}" as I've had problem in the past (read 3.1 or 3.2) with intempestive index.php that where added here and there.

Bad habit dies hard ;)

I'm using 3.7.5svn 23.03.06

take a look here:
http://bisv.sbio.no/stillinger/dnb_nor_markets_aksjehandel_analyseassitent

PathPrefix=ekstern/bisv/

see the url for the "Bisv /" link, so seems the problem is only for links to the "root" of the given siteaccess
