Hi, I built a social blogging system using EE.

It’s on http://zaplog.nl

If features individual weblogs, every user has its own weblog on it’s ‘own’ url. For instance:

http://warp11.zaplog.nl/site
http://p.uncia.zaplog.nl/site

I use code like this in my templates:

<?php 
    global $HTTP_HOST;
    $site = substr($_SERVER[HTTP_HOST], 0, strpos($_SERVER[HTTP_HOST],'.zaplog.nl')); 
    $host = 'http://'.$_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]; 
?>

I need two things which I can probably modify myself in EE, but I need advice from someone who cvan oversee the modifications.

1. I (think i) need a much higher maximum number of cached pages. The limit now is 1000, can I alter EE to accomodate 2500 or more pages? There is lot’s of room on my server.

2. I need EE to cache complete URL’s. Right now it decides on caching a page using the last part of an URL. So to the caching mechanisme these are the same pages:

http://warp11.zaplog.nl/site/related/afghanistan
http://p.uncia.zaplog.nl/site/related/afghanistan

Because the last part is ‘site/related/afghanistan’ in both cases.

I need EE to cache based on the complete URL’s since in reality the pages above are different pages. Can this be done by a simple PHP-tweak in some core-file? What will be the consequenses?

I changed core.template.php line 2277 to facilitate this. I changed the hash-key calculation to incorporate the complete URL.

From:

$this->cache_hash = md5($site_id.'-'.$template_group.'-'.$template);

to

$this->cache_hash = md5($_SERVER[HTTP_HOST].'-'.$site_id.'-'.$template_group.'-'.$template);

But I cannot oversee the complete archicture of EE so can Derek or so look at this?

You should review the ExpressionEngine License as building a social blogging site is prohibited under most circumstances. If you have questions about the license, please .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).

In any case, what you are asking is well beyond the scope of technical support as we do not support building social network applications with EE.
