3.5: Meaning of set up of "User path"

Sunday 02 January 2005 9:16:27 am

Hello all!

User path (let's call it "plain") and Admin path ("plain_admin") are used to access the admin and user sections of the site - that's understood.
Interestingly when entering my website (http://www.mysite.com) as an anonymous/guest (not logged in user) and klicking on the links in it the URL gets attached by
/plain/ for instance. So as an example when I click (again as a not logged in user!) on the forum link the URL reads
http://www.mysite.com/plain/forum. When I type http://www.mysite.com/forum manually into the browser adress line the server forwards me into
the forum-area as well.

What I need is:

for anonymous/guest: http://www.mysite.com/forum/

for logged in-users: http://www.mysite.com/plain/forum/

and for admins: http://www.mysite.com/plain_admin/forum/

Hopefully I've explained my lack of understanding good enough ;-)

(One minor thing I would like to change is the missing ending slash:
Now the URL reads:
http://www.mysite.com/forum
and not (as prefered)
http://www.mysite.com/forum/
Can anyone help me with this as well?)

Thanks and best regards

Matthias

eZ publish cannot handle this.
You will have to use the same <i>plain</i> prefix for both the logged-in and anonymous users.

Is there a special reason why you want to do it like this?

Hi,

This is because ez.no is configured to determine which siteaccess to use based on the hostname instead of the URL. There are 3 ways to determine which siteaccess that should be used: host, url, port. If you use host, you can map "www.example.com" to your public siteaccess and "admin.example.com" to your admin siteaccess and thus the first part of the URL-path will disappear ('cause eZ publish will look at the hostname instead). Please have a look in the default site.ini file for more information about setting this up (look for "SiteAccessSettings").
