hello,
maybe something like this ?
in mainfile.php, i changed:


define('XOOPS_URL', 'http://domain.com');

to:


$hote=getenv("HTTP_HOST"); //domain name used



if ($hote == "1stdomain.com")

$hote = "http://1stdomain.com";

else

if ($hote == "2nddomain.com")

$hote = "http://2nddomain.com";



define('XOOPS_URL', $hote);

i'me using this for my intranet, which is also accessible from the internet.
I think that you can adapt this, to test members IP.
If local_ip, then, use local domain, else, use public domain.

So would this still apply today with the newer versions?

I'm trying to set something up on a local system so that I can browse it locally on my intranet, but the problem is that because I'm hosting it locally (windows 2000 using Wampp) I have to set it up "either-or".

I can set it up for the domain name I'm using, works great - except because of the behavior of my Router, I can't edit or view the site internally (I have to use a proxy server or some other work-around which is slow, and could be a potential security risk) or I can set it up to work only internally, but then I can't get to the site from the WWW.

I tried this suggestion in the post above mine, but I don't know php all that well, I am not sure how to edit it, or which fields to edit.

The way I got around this in my old intranet is to add an entry in the hosts file on each internal computer routing the domain to a local address. Setting rules on the router didn't work for me.

c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts (file with no extension)

1.2.3.4 www.yourdomain.com

1.2.3.4 = the local address of your WAMPP server

I do it like this:


define('XOOPS_URL', ((isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) and strtolower($_SERVER['HTTPS']) === 'on') ? 'https' : 'http') . "://{$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']}/xoops");

That works for both http and https.

"/xoops" should be changed to your actual directory name, or omitted if you installed XOOPS in the web root.

You are... awesome. Thank you. Now I get to "play" at home. ;)

Yet a bit different way,

<?php
// XOOPS Virtual Path (URL)
// Virtual path to your main XOOPS directory WITHOUT trailing slash
// Example: define('XOOPS_URL', 'http://localhost');
// auto change the host name for local or remote access

$itxx_local_host_ip = gethostbyname("FQDN"); // Use host name part only for win32
$itxx_user_ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

$itsl_pattern = "'(\d{1,3})\.(\d{1,3})\.(\d{1,3})\.(\d{1,3})'";
$itsl_is_local = ((preg_replace($itsl_pattern,"\\1.\\2.\\3",$itxx_user_ip)==preg_replace($itsl_pattern,"\\1.\\2.\\3",$itxx_local_host_ip)))?true:false;

if ($itsl_is_local) {
define('XOOPS_URL', 'http://local.i.p.x');// use local ip 192.168.x.x
} else {
define('XOOPS_URL', 'http://www.itslbd.com');
}
?>

Hope this helps, Note: this is originally from sourceforge.

forgot to mention,if u setup your browser to not go to ur isp proxy, above method shall only allow u to use your server locally, shall not use ISP proxy for local access, much secure.

I believe it is secure as it checks for IP of local user. Prevents IP spoofing...

I would agree with skenow on this one - the best approach indeed.
