subdomains and clean urls
Permalink
I'm wanting to point multiple sub-domains to one hosted site using concrete5... I have concrete5 setup to use multiple languages using internationalization.
Right now, the site works like this:
http://www.mysite.com/english/ <---- That's the English Homepage
http://www.mysite.com/spanish/ <---- That's the Spanish Homepage
I want to create sub-domains like:
en.mysite.com that points to English
sp.mysite.com that points to Spanish
The Domain Mapper is cool expect that I read that once a user clicks an internal page, the links get the added language folder back on them... So, it would show en.mydomain.com for the homepage, but then en.mydomain.com/english/otherpages
That will not work for me or search engines...
Is there any way around this? If I use modrewrite, it's still going to show the /english/ in the links...
Is this even possible?

Hey man... I read your description on your add-on. Does it change how Concrete5 would actually link things? When someone is on the english subdomain, how would this help it to not include /english/ on the nav urls and so on?
Thanks for your help!

It doesn't. You could like to a resource that doesn't actually exist and redirect a few times to get the session stuff set up. This was just an idea I don't really know if it is at all applicable. I figured I'd give you a license if you think it would work.
Thanks man... But, I'd have to get it to do that... Thanks for the offer though!
If you have access to your apache config, could you use "Name-based Virtual Host Support"

This is a good question. Did anyone ever find a solution? Thanks!
I think you could probably handle this w/ it but I am curious to see if you could wrangle it to work.
Thanks and let me know.
