Hi all,
Ive got a login form for users with the fields subdomain, username and
password. This is at the URL http://domain.com.
When the user submits the form and login is successful, i need the URL
to change to http://subdomain.domain.com/whatever.
How can I do this?
My try was
if no_subdomain?
redirect_to "http://#{params[:subdomain]}.domain.com/whatever"
else
redirect_to whatever_path
end
But I think the session data is lost when you redirect like above. So
it takes me back to the login form.
Any ideas?

Re: Changing URL from domain.com to subdomain.domain.com on login
Hi Fred, Andrew, Thanks a lot! I did some searching on this. Mainly because it still isnt working for me. It still leads me back to the login page after failing the before_filter :login_required callback on dashboard_controller. Im using Rails 2.1.0 so I understand the option is still session_options[:session_domain] for me (as opposed to session_options [:domain] for 2.2.0+) By the way, ive tried setting ActionController::Base.session_options [:session_domain] to both ''domain.com'' and ''.domain.com'' but both give me the problems. Any idea what might be wrong?

Re: Changing URL from domain.com to subdomain.domain.com on login
I guessed I should be checking that but I really couldnt figure out HOW to check them! I use restful_authentication so where in the flow should i be raising an exception and what should i be throwing up to debug? Im actually pretty sure there''re excess cookies hanging around. Because when I go to domain.com/login, it takes me right in and gives me a routing error cos of the subdomain absence. when i type in the url domain.com/logout, it goes to the login page, fails in :not_logged_in_required and takes me into the app again and throws the same routing error. So there is definitely a session hanging around. How do i clean that up?

Re: Changing URL from domain.com to subdomain.domain.com on login
:) I checked that the first time, of course. I know I came off a lil dim last time but come on :D I dumped all the cookies and authentication data and all other private data twice and restarted FF and checked again to make sure nothings hanging around and then cleared it again and I tried logging in :). IAT error. Any other possible causes? I''ll start googling. Thanks for your help Fred. really appreciate it.

To get sub-domains working in development, I update my hosts file with domains like x.test.com and y.test.com and test.com in my hosts file all pointing to localhost and then do the various tests with the cookie set on .test.com Then you can access the sites on x.test.com:3000 etc Andrew Timberlake http://ramblingsonrails.com http://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewtimberlake "I have never let my schooling interfere with my education" - Mark Twain On Sat, Apr 11, 2009 at 2:36 PM, Ram <yourstruly.vinay-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > Bang on! :) Its working in production.

Re: Changing URL from domain.com to subdomain.domain.com on login
Actually, on second thought, this could be a pain. I use FF with Firebug to debug my JS. And also once in a while, check for browser compatibility. You think I can access and edit this ''list'' FF might be working off? :) kinda like editing /etc/hosts? Or could there be a development domain that FF would recognize? Alternatively, I could still use a staging environment for doing the Firebug testing and browser compatibility tests. You thoughts?
