I am working on a web app that serves pages to different domain names.
Since the models and views for these domains are the same I decided to
put them in one application and create a controller for each domain.
In these controllers I put the response attributes, the menu, the
variables com_id and session.comname and the functions. From these
functions I call functions in a module that implement the various use
cases.

The com_id has a constant value. The value of session.comname gets its
value from a database query. Since I need the comname in every view, I
guess I have to do something like:


com_id=1
session.comname

def index():
    if not session.comname:
        redirect(URL(r=request, f='comname'))
    address=...
    ...
    return dict(address=address,...)

def about():
    if not session.comname:
        redirect(URL(r=request, f='comname'))
    about=...
    ...
    return dict(about=about,...)

....

def comname():
    com=db(db.com.id==com_id).select(db.com.comname)
    session.comname=com[0].comname
    redirect(URL(???)


The redirect in def comname(): should redirect to the previous
function. What is the correct syntax to implement this?

Furthermore, since, all controllers are in the same application I am
not sure the session.comname will under all circumstances have the
correct value. Say the visitor enters the application through www.com1.eu.
In controller com1, com_id=1 and session.comname is set to com1. Then
the visitor request www.com2.eu, the application will navigate to the
com2 controller and com_id=2. However, since both controllers are in
the same application I don't think session.comname will be set to
com2. Am I right?

I thought changing session.comname to session.comname1 and
session.comname2 in the respective controllers would solve the
problem, but that would make the whole thing less generic, because in
my view I have:

{{=A(session.comname,_href=URL(r=request,f='index'))}}


I don't see how to solve this problem. I hope one of you does.


Kind regards,

Annet.
