Uploaded files from one domain to another (same database)

Hey Chris,

That was my original thought, but we really need to offer domaintwo.com/CMSB too, and also each domain's front end has a function to upload files too (i.e. member's area).

So user can go to domaintwo.com/members and upload a file. This upload record goes to the one master database, and the file is physically added to /uploads/ of domaintwo.com

But then domainone.com will have the upload record in the mySQL, but won't have /uploads/image on it's server.

Hmmz, thinking only way is to code each code of img display to check each domain for an image (if file_exists, then try next domain (or get domain image was uploaded from pushed to mySQL too)), or try and get domaintwo.com/members to upload the file to domainone.com/uploads.

I'll give it a play, unless you have another masterous easy solution?!

Cheers

Hi rjbathgate,

Here's a sneaky solution for you: if your upload URLs are different on each site, you could have your front-end PHP code examine the URL and prefix a host depending on what the path is.

For example, domainone could use /cmsAdmin/uploads/domainone/ for uploads, while domaintwo could use /cmsAdmin/uploads/domaintwo/. Your <img/> display code would then search the image's URL for "domainone" and "domaintwo" and prefix either http://domainone.com/ or http://domaintwo.com/

Make sense?

yeah, thats a nice idea, thanks. Saves running an if file_exists over and over again.

Thanks for the idea!
