This extension enables you to use subdirectories inside your siteaccess settings directories to create additional overrides to siteaccess settings (e.g. for different languages)

→ This extension is for those of you using multi site implementations (e.g. 3 different websites with 5 different languages each)

hwgroupsa overrides two kernel files (ezsiteaccess.php and ezini.php) to push the subdirectory's settings (further referred to as "sub-siteaccess settings" to the settings override array.

Additionaly, it provides a custom language switcher to allow switching between sub-siteaccesses, while not leaving the main siteaccess.

A new MatchOrder Setting was introduced in the site.ini settings, to allow an easy setup for multi-site-multi-language installations (see in the configuration section)

1. Clone this repository into your extension directory

2. Activate kernel overrides in your {ezpublish-root}/config.php (this file eventually needs to be created)

    <?php
    define( 'EZP_AUTOLOAD_ALLOW_KERNEL_OVERRIDE', true );
    ?>
   

3. Activate the extension from the ezpublish backend (or override/site.ini.append.php)

4. Regenerate your autoload array (don't forget the "-o" flag to override kernel and lib classes)

    $ bin/php/ezpgenerateautoloads.php -o
   

1. Update your settings/override/site.ini.append.php

    MatchOrder=host_uri_group
    HostUriGroupMatchMapItems[]
    HostUriGroupMatchMapItems[]=www.website1.com;de|en|it;website1
    HostUriGroupMatchMapItems[]=www.website2.com;de|en|it;website2
    HostUriGroupMatchMapItems[]=www.website3.com;de|en|it;website3
   
    The Syntax for each HostUriGroupMatchMapItems is:
    [hostname];[sub-siteaccess1]|[sub-siteaccess2]|[...];[main-siteaccess]
   

2. Create the directory structure

    settings/siteaccess/website1
    settings/siteaccess/website1/de
    settings/siteaccess/website1/en
    settings/siteaccess/website1/it
    settings/siteaccess/website2
    settings/siteaccess/website2/de
    settings/siteaccess/website2/en
    settings/siteaccess/website2/it
    settings/siteaccess/website3
    settings/siteaccess/website3/de
    settings/siteaccess/website3/en
    settings/siteaccess/website3/it
   

3. Setup site.ini.append.php

    in each main siteaccess, create a site.ini.append.php just like you normally would
   
    in each sub-siteaccess, only create those settings files that need to override the main siteaccess:
   
    settings/siteaccess/website1/de/site.ini.append.php:
   
    [RegionalSettings]
    Locale=ger-DE
    ContentObjectLocale=ger-DE
    SiteLanguageList[]
    SiteLanguageList[]=ger-DE
    SiteLanguageList[]=eng-US
    SiteLanguageList[]=ita-IT
   

4. Kick back, clear the cache and enjoy! (:
