changing base url

Posted in Forums : Ask a Rails expert

Shai Shiff Profile... about 1 month ago Authority 0 Posting Rating 0 Sign in to rate this post	Hey, I have a rails app that is viewed in a frame of another site. My problem is all my ‘links’ and ‘redirects’ (basically anything that relates to ‘url_for’) are directing out of the frame and present the links on their own…I’ll try to explain better: Lets say my domain is: www.ror.com my home page is www.ror.com/home/index but u should view it using: www.frames.com/myapp/home/index (meaning my site should be viewed only through a frame in the www.frames.com website) from the home page u can move with a link to a different page: lets say: link_to(‘link’ :action => ‘show’) now when u press the link the browser will go to www.ror.com/home/show but I want it to go to www.frames.com/myapp/home/show In short I want to replace the base of all my urls from ‘www.ror.com’ to ‘www.frames.com/myapp’ Thnx !

Naveen C Joshi Profile... about 1 month ago Authority 62 Posting Rating 99 Sign in to rate this post	try to add in routes.rb after ActionController::Routing::Routes.draw do \|map\| this line ActionController::AbstractRequest.relative_url_root = “http:// www.frames.com/myapp” I used it to change relative_url, but not to another domain. I hope this helps

Shai Shiff Profile... about 1 month ago Authority 0 Posting Rating 0 Sign in to rate this post	thnx for the reply tried it but it just adds the url to the end of the original base url… so now it looks something like: www.ror.com/www.frames.com/myapp god this is annoying…
