Hi everyone, Rails newbie here so forgive the question if the answer is ridiculously obvious. I am trying to write an app that meets the following requirements. I''d like to do it in Rails, but having pored over documentation for that past couple of days, don''t even know whether it''s feasible or not. Basically: * One codebase * multiple domains * each domain will have the same base functionality, but the look and feel will be determined based on a selection of templates To summarize, I would like a system whereby people can sign up for a site, pick their domain name, everyone gets the same functionality, but they can choose from a selection of provided templates and customize the look and feel of their site. if it is possible, can you point me in the right direction? Thanks ... your comments are appreciated. _______________________________________________ Rails-core mailing list Rails-core@lists.rubyonrails.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails-core

Hi Artin, What you are looking for is possible, but this is a wrong list to ask it. Please post your question to the general Rails mailing list. //jarkko On 17.8.2006, at 17.23, Artin Safari wrote:> Hi everyone, > Rails newbie here so forgive the question if the answer is > ridiculously > obvious. > I am trying to write an app that meets the following requirements. > I''d > like to do it in Rails, but having pored over documentation for that > past couple of days, don''t even know whether it''s feasible or not. > Basically: > > * One codebase > * multiple domains > * each domain will have the same base functionality, but the look and > feel will be determined based on a selection of templates > > To summarize, I would like a system whereby people can sign up for a > site, pick their domain name, everyone gets the same functionality, > but > they can choose from a selection of provided templates and customize > the look and feel of their site. > > if it is possible, can you point me in the right direction? > > Thanks ... your comments are appreciated. > _______________________________________________ > Rails-core mailing list > Rails-core@lists.rubyonrails.org > http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails-core-- Jarkko Laine http://jlaine.net http://odesign.fi

Thanks for the reply. I''ve been suggested a couple of theme handling plugins for Rails, but I guess the main question I have is how would I handle the fact that multiple domains are involved and they all run on the same codebase. Obviously, I would have to set some variables depending on the domain. With Apache/Perl, I can just write an Apache handler to do this. How would I do something like this with Rails?
