Re: [EP-tech] technical question: one archive with two domains

Hi Thorsten,

 

If your page includes an html tag:

<base href="" href="http://domain1.com/">http://domain1.com/" />

Then any href tags that are relative e.g. <a href="" would link to http://domain1.com/my_page.html.

If the base tag was changed to:

<base href="" href="http://domain2.com/">http://domain2.com/" />

The same link would go to http://domain2.com/my_page.html - which I think is what you're trying to do?

 

In <eprints_root>/archives/<archiveid>/cfg/cfg.d/dynamic_template.pl

you could then do something like (keeping the stuff that's there already!):

 

$c->{dynamic_template}->{function} = sub {

        my( $repository, $parts ) = @_;

 

        # do stuff to work out what protocol was used,

        my $r = $repository->request;

        # do stuff to work out what hostname was requested, which protocol was used etc.

        # not sure how to do this off the top of my head!

        # possibly things like $r->hostname ?

       

        my $base = $repository->make_doc_fragment;

        $base->appendChild( $repository->make_element( "base", href="" "$protocol://$hostname" ) );

        $parts->{base} = $base;

…

};

 

In your template, you would then add a pin (in the <head>): <epc:pin ref="base" />

https://wiki.eprints.org/w/API:EPrints/Apache/Template

Alternatively you could append it to the 'head' pin (again, off the top of my head, can't think of how to do this).

 

As I said, this might be a really bad idea (or might just not work!)… but if you're willing to experiment, it might help somehow!

 

Cheers,

John

Hey John,

thanks for your answer. Bad ideas are usually the best ;)

It would be great if you could explain your suggestion a little bit more, I don't really get what you mean.

Thank you very much,

best regards

Hi,
This might be a really bad idea (but it might be genius)?

Could you output a <base href="" tag (using the dynamic template system), *and* make sure all links are relative?

Cheers,
John

Subject: [EP-tech] technical question: one archive with two domains

Hey there,
I'm still trying to configure my eprints archive to work with two domains. I tried all your suggestions (except mod_substitute) in different ways, but it still don't work.
My goal: I want to access one archive using two different domains. So I modified the apache-includes to add a ServerAlias, this part works fine: domain1 and domain2 show the exact same website. My problem: It is the EXACT same website, so all links are the same, too. So if i use one of the links on domain2, I go to domain1 and do not remain on domain2.
Do you have any more ideas why this could happen and how to avoid it?
On my way finding a solution, I tried to modify the html-snippets used to build the website - this worked for some parts, but changing other parts killed the whole site. My idea was to change all links manually (if it was working, i would automate this with a little script). Do anybody know the part/script of eprints which combines the html snippets? I hope that reading this script might help me to modify my repo.
Thany you again for your help,
best regards
