Hacks: Xoops with STICKY URL's

Posted by: ldapguruOn 2003/12/31 3:51:07 7484 reads

Hi I always wanted to be able to have several URL's being served with varied content from the same backend xoops engine. I have a method that could be implemented very easily such that content served from the same backend xoops engine can be represented using URL's that stick.

The method has 2 parts to it.
1. A sticky URl that changes after the user clicks on any particular link.

2. a sticky URL that sticks throughout the entire valid browser session.

Well, both these methods work prefectly fine. I am working on session management such that the session cookie contains parameters for all the various domains (URL's) that the user could choose and make then automatically signon to all domains at once.

The SSO (single Signon) components are in a beta stage and I shall post a release note when it's complete.

The Sticky URL's work just fine (LOL... No iFrames or Frames in use). You can see them in action at the following URL's

http://corp.ldapguru.org
http://products.ldapguru.org
http://partners.ldapguru.org
http://www.ldapguru.org

And the CORE XOOPS engine that serves these various URL's / Domains at http://www.ldapguru.net.

The modular code can be downloaded from my site (

for registered users. So go ahead register yourself at http://www.ldapguru.net/register.php and download the code.

Please do not abuse the system as this code has been implemented on my live site and not on a development or staging server.

Thank you ldapguru! This will be very useful for me personally. I use subdomains and I was planning on combining all of them with my main domain into one XOOPS installation. This code will help me with organizing it all better.

I can't register at your site, ldapguru. First it tells me that the username must be shorter than 4 letters. Then it tells me that the username must be longer than 5 letters.

Guess It'd be a good idea to post the code to use sticky URL's here itself, so that i can eliminate stale-unused registrations on my site.

backup your existing mainfile.php
copy the following code into your existing mainfile.php

 include("parameters/whoisit.inc.php");  
if (!(empty($serverName)))  
{  
include("parameters/".$serverName."/mainfile.php");  
} 
define("WHERE_IS_PERSO","parameters/".$serverName."/");  
?>

Now create a directory called "parameters" under your XOOPS root directory.

Place the file 'whoisit.inc.php" in the directory "parameters"

  
if (!(isset($serverName)))  
{  
$serverName = $SERVER_NAME;  
$serverName = str_replace(".org","",$serverName); 
$serverName = str_replace(".net","",$serverName);  
$serverName = str_replace(".com","",$serverName);  
}  
 
?>

now create directories in "parameters" that reflect your domain name or subdomainname or URL

place your ORIGINAL mainfile.php in these directories.

you can customize mainfile.php within each directory to reflect the components that you want. ie: URL, absolute path etc..

Now this method is just one of the simple ways to use sticky URL's.

The method that I have in production uses a lil more complex method which includes modifying the apache virtualserver parameters. I could post a document to that effect if someone wants me to...

Hi,

I'm register on your site but I can't find the code to download in the download section.

Thanks

I have visited your web site and the others you have listed but cannot see any sticky url's. There is absolutely no difference at all.

I also followed the instructions you posted "exactly" but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. i.e. NO Change. Perhaps you could enlighten us all as nobody else seems to have had any success either.

The sticky URL stuff had been disbled by the time you visited the site. However I have posted instructions on how to do it, if you follow it, you should be able to recreate it pretty easily.

There's a much shorter hack if the only difference between the sites is the url.

in mainfile.php:

I'm using this to be able to run XOOPS on my homeserver, AND at the same time being able to view it over LAN.
