Thread

I was looking for a way to output the domains name without the http://. I know that site_url will do http://example.com but I need it to do example.com. I don’t really want to use a snippet because I’m going to be using this on a large amount of MSM sites. Anyone have a way of accomplishing this?

Thanks

Snippets can be site-wide, FYI.  So one snippet could be used across all sites in an MSM install.

Otherwise I wonder if http://devot-ee.com/add-ons/extract-url would work - but I don’t recall the parameters it had.

Hi Mike, thanks for responding. I was hoping there was a global variable that I was missing in the docs that I could use. If I created a snippet using the {site_url} variable in the snippet and then used php to strip the http:// to end up with something like example.com… would there be anything wrong for doing it like that. e.g. performance wise?

Thanks!

How often is that value going to change?

You’d have to test the performance, but I hate making EE continually have to “make” something that might only ever change once..😉

The value will be different for every site. Currently each MSM site uses the header and footer of the default site. The only data that needs to be different is the Google Analytics ‘_setDomainName’ e.g.

  var _gaq = _gaq || [];
  _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-XXXXXXX-1']);
  _gaq.push(['_setDomainName', 'example.com']);
  _gaq.push(['_setAllowLinker', true]);
  _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);

  (function() {
    var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
    ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
    var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s[removed].insertBefore(ga, s);
  })();

Ah - I see.

Possibly this plugin would work:
http://devot-ee.com/add-ons/url-helper - although if I understand the examples right you’re still getting into PHP which seems like overkill.  But I might be wrong there.

There’s also http://devot-ee.com/add-ons/current-url-ci - maybe you could hack it to return what you need?

Were it me I’d probably just use site-specific snippets (or Global Variable even) and call it a day.  Once it’s setup you’d probably never have to touch it again.

Sweet, I’ll go that route - thanks Mike!
