local and production host swapping
Reported by ramonrails | December 24th, 2009 @ 04:38 PM
While I am using adva_cms for hosting some of my client sites, I wanted to share this code with the community if anyone gets a benefit from this.
What was required? (What did I do)
I had to swap between local and production host url everytime I
was deploying using capistrano.
So I made some changes to include an "alias" text field for each
site.
What I did not do. (Bad for me and project)
Testing. I just updated a few test scripts to fetch data
appropriately but never went through the detailed testing to make
sure things are ok. (maybe a little less time available from
projects for adva_cms)
Benefits of this
1. Now I can keep the local url in host (my_local_test_site.local)
and production url in alias (production_site1.com,
production_site2.com, ...). Saves me some effort of switching the
host url before deploy. Of course the binary sqlite3 file also does
not need update in git.
2. I can also point 2 different domains to the same data set in
adva_cms. (I am not sure if that is bad practice, but my client
needed it.)
Drawbacks:
Let me know. I will be happy to fix those to the extent
possible.
