Uploading files to multi-site configuration

Jan Eirik Forland	Wednesday 06 April 2011 1:58:21 am Hi, I've just recently started developing in eZPublish, and I have now set up a multi-site configuration for a project I'm working on. In my site.ini.append.php file I have set up both URL and Host mapping. That is, I have set up the site as such: MatchOrder=uri;host URIMatchType=map HostMatchType=map URIMatchMapItems[]=admin;admin_site HostMatchMapItems[]=www.site1.com;site1 HostMatchMapItems[]=www.site2.com;site2 My goal with this setting is to have a unified admin interface for both sites. That is, I can access the admin interface by typing the URL www.site1.com/index.php/admin or www.site2.com/index.php/admin. This works like a charm! :) The problem arises when I upload a file to the Media section when in the admin interface. The file then gets stored at the /var/admin/storage/original... folder. This means that when a user is presented with the option to download a file that has been uploaded in the admin interface, they first have to log on to the admin interface!! WE DO NOT WANT TO DO THAT! Any ideas?

Jan Eirik Forland	Thursday 07 April 2011 4:19:52 am Yes, I'm using different var dir's for the different siteaccesses. But that's because the sites don't share content. I've checked the virtualhost matching rules, and they are correct. I found a solution that I can live with. The problem was that uploaded files to the Media Library was stored in the var/storage directory under the var/admin folder. This meant that you had to access the admin siteaccess to download the files (when used as links in articles etc). In the site.ini.append.php file in the admin siteaccess, i just added the following line: [SiteAccessSettings] AnonymousAccessList[]=content/download This solved my problem perfectly. The files are still stored under admin's var directory, but that I can live with :)

Hi,

I've just recently started developing in eZPublish, and I have now set up a multi-site configuration for a project I'm working on. In my site.ini.append.php file I have set up both URL and Host mapping. That is, I have set up the site as such:

MatchOrder=uri;host

URIMatchType=map

HostMatchType=map

URIMatchMapItems[]=admin;admin_site

HostMatchMapItems[]=www.site1.com;site1

HostMatchMapItems[]=www.site2.com;site2

My goal with this setting is to have a unified admin interface for both sites. That is, I can access the admin interface by typing the URL www.site1.com/index.php/admin or www.site2.com/index.php/admin. This works like a charm! :)

The problem arises when I upload a file to the Media section when in the admin interface. The file then gets stored at the /var/admin/storage/original... folder. This means that when a user is presented with the option to download a file that has been uploaded in the admin interface, they first have to log on to the admin interface!! WE DO NOT WANT TO DO THAT!

Any ideas?

Yes, I'm using different var dir's for the different siteaccesses. But that's because the sites don't share content.

I've checked the virtualhost matching rules, and they are correct. I found a solution that I can live with. The problem was that uploaded files to the Media Library was stored in the var/storage directory under the var/admin folder.

In the site.ini.append.php file in the admin siteaccess, i just added the following line:

[SiteAccessSettings]

AnonymousAccessList[]=content/download

This solved my problem perfectly. The files are still stored under admin's var directory, but that I can live with :)
