raphael bauduin	Wednesday 16 July 2008 1:09:55 am Hi, I want to host multiple websites with the host access method, in which the hostname is mapped to a site access. But each language of a website is also a siteaccess (at least in the uri acces method). How can I combine both? HEre's an example: Let's say I have 2 multilingual (fr, en) websites (www.raphinou.com and www.profoss.eu) I want to host in one ez publish installation. I will then use 2 hostnames (www.raphinou.com and www.profoss.eu) and 4 site accesses (profoss-fr, profoss-en, raphinou-fr, raphinou-en)) right? But then have 2 site accesses to map to one host. Is it possible to achieve what I want? Thanks Raphaël

Easy alternative solution is to use hostname matching and for multilanguage use subdomains ( for example en.raphinou.com, fr.raphinou.com). There is one more solution which is very ugly. You need to have to virtual dirs for every domain and then link everything on filesystem except settings dir. Very, very ugly . Hope to see some better solutions in the near future... http://www.linkedin.com/in/ivolukac http://www.netgen.hr/eng/blog http://twitter.com/ilukac

Steven E. Bailey	Thursday 17 July 2008 6:26:16 am This is how we've solved it: http://ez.no/developer/forum/developer/running_two_multilingual_sites_on_a_single_ezp_installation It does require adding a few lines to access.php and lib/ezutils/classes/ezsys.php specifically, to access.php: else if ( $match_type == 'element' ) { $match_index = $ini->variable( 'SiteAccessSettings', 'URIMatchElement' ); $elements = $uri->elements( false ); $elements = array_slice( $elements, 0, $match_index ); $name = implode( '_', $elements ); //start Contactivity multilingual hack $hostname=explode(".",$host); $hostname=explode(":",$hostname[0]); $language=implode( '_', $elements ); if (!$language) $language="en"; $name=$hostname[0]."_".$language; //end Contactivity multilingual hack } to ezsys.php: static function addAccessPath( $path ) { $instance = eZSys::instance(); if ( !is_array( $path ) ) $path = array( $path ); //start multilingual Contactivity hack $modified_path=explode("_",implode(",",$path)); $path=array($modified_path[1]); //end multilingual Contactivity hack $instance->AccessPath = array_merge( $instance->AccessPath, $path ); } Certified eZPublish developer http://ez.no/certification/verify/396111 Available for ezpublish troubleshooting, hosting and custom extension development: http://www.leidentech.com
Ivo Lukac	Thursday 17 July 2008 6:30:40 am Maybe, I am not an expert for rewrite rules :/ Idea would be to map www.foo.com/bar <i>internally</i> at apache level to bar.foo.com. Don't know is it possible. Of course you can do it externally just like a redirect of some kind but that would not be very wise regarding search index bots. http://www.linkedin.com/in/ivolukac http://www.netgen.hr/eng/blog http://twitter.com/ilukac
Wei Dai	Tuesday 06 October 2009 7:55:05 pm Do you think you could just use 4 site access and two domains, with the two domains point to the same eZ Publish root? Thus, you can just use the uri match order. Certified eZ Publish 4 developer looking for develop information & collaboration.
