Colbox app + blogcfc

[Dan Vega]

I am working on redoing my personal site and I have a quick question. Almost my whole site is going to be written using Coldbox (home/about/projects/etc) but my blog is going to be a standalone app using blogcfc. How can can I combine the 2 so /blog is its own application? Just a little confused on how to handle this, any insight is appreciated.

If you just drop BlogCFC in /blog the Application.cfc will make it its own application. You wont need to do anything special.

That worked fine and the home page of blogcfc loads fine but whenever I go into an actual entry ColdBox is taking over for some reason.

[Dan Vega]

I am pretty sure this has something to do with the default route but I am not sure how to tell Coldbox to ignore any requests that start with /blog

anyone? 

[Andrew Scott]

Are you using SES ISAPI rewrite with that domain?

 

You might need to add a rule in there to stop blogCFC from being rerouted back to the main ColdBox application.

Andrew has it I think.

You need to add a rewrite rule the stops processing for "^blog" or "^/blog" (depending on which rewrite solution/server you are using). The default urlrewrite filters are mapping /blog to /index.cfm/blog which is kicking off the ColdBox app.

Here is an example of some rules that stop processing for IIS:

                <rule name="Application Adminsitration" stopProcessing="true">

                    <match url="^(.*)$" />

                    <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll" trackAllCaptures="false">

                        <add input="{SCRIPT_NAME}" pattern="^/(.*(CFIDE|cfide|CFFormGateway|jrunscripts|railo-context|fckedito r)).*$" ignoreCase="false" />

                    </conditions>

                    <action type="None" />

                </rule>

And, here is another for Tuckey URLRewrite which I use for my blog hosted by TomCat/Railo which rewrites anything that does not match:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE urlrewrite PUBLIC "-//tuckey.org//DTD UrlRewrite 3.2//EN" "http://tuckey.org/res/dtds/urlrewrite3.2.dtd">

<urlrewrite>

<rule>

<note>

Enable TomCat to have SES links.

</note>

<condition type="request-uri" operator="notequal">\.(bmp|gif|jpe?g|png|css|js|txt|pdf|doc|xls|xml|cfc|ico|php|asp)$</condition>

<from>^/(?!cdn|src|railo-context|test|mxunit|remote|monitoring|root)(.*)$</from>

<to>/index.cfm/$1</to>

</rule>

</urlrewrite>

I am using apache mod_rewrite but I am not sure thats the whole issue...

this url works

http://localhost/danvega/blog/index.cfm/2011/5/13/cfObjective-2011-Presentation-code-and-slides

but this does not and is caught by ColdBox

http://localhost/danvega/blog/2011/5/13/cfObjective-2011-Presentation-code-and-slides

if you look in config/routes.cfm you will see the default route. Is that catching the request and trying to do something with it? That would explain /blog does not go through the request. 

// Your Application Routes

addRoute(pattern=":handler/:action?");

[Aaron Greenlee]

That's exactly why I think your rewrite rule is routing the "http://localhost/danvega/blog/2011/5/13/cfObjective-2011-Presentation-code-and-slides" to this: "http://localhost/danvega/index.cfm/blog/2011/5/13/cfObjective-2011-Presentation-code-and-slides" which is why ColdBox is getting it. If you post your .htaccess file, I can add the rule directly or you can just modify an existing rule to include "^/blog" to stop processing. If you are using one of the common .htaccess files you should be able to just append the "/blog" to an entry for "railo-context" or "cfide".

ok I added that and that worked out..but I just realized that my issues were because of some setup I had in blogcfc. thanks for the help guys! 

[Aaron Greenlee]

Sweet! 

Can't wait to see you show us all up with your new site. Would be funny if you snatched all Ben Nadel's photos and photoshoped your face over his :)

[Andrew Scott]

You will need something in your rewrite rules to ignore the /blog directory.

 

RewriteRule ^(blog) - [L]
