A site I am currently working with allows users to upload images onto a page together with some text they write.
like a blog or logbook.
I use tinymce to let them edit the text and add images.
due to the urlrewriting module I work on I have to change the img src for each of the images that is added to the page.
from
"/images/images_1/....jpg" to http://user1.mydomain.com/images/images_1/
“_1” is the id of the user account.
and each user has their own subdomain.
and each page is later viewed from a rewrited url like:
user1.mydomain.com/2011/09/pagename.aspx
so, the problem
when using url rewrite the path for images is not working. That’s why I have to change the path inside each text document.
As I see it, I have 3 alternatives:
1: I replace the img src string when the text is saved, used with asp.net c#. this is easy BUT! If the user wants to change their subdomain nmame I have to update each and every one of the pages for that user inside the database. and replace the img src.
2: I use replace function in mySQL for each page visit and replace the code more dynamically.
3: I use replace function in asp.net for each page visit.
alt. 2 & 3 is not good, a because it is possible to view a lot of pages at the same page. (like a blog, a whole month on one page, lot of page entries) and I think that the replace function eats hardware?
So, what do you think about this? what should I choose?
I solved this by adding another subdomain.
no need for change if user changes his username 😀
